Publisher's summary

A group of some of the most powerful people in the government, the military, and the private sector has begun a brutal plan to quietly take over the reins of the US government. They've begun to remove the people who stand in their way - and replace them with their own sympathizers and puppets. They've already taken out the Speaker of the House - whose death was made to look like an accidental drowning - and the president and vice president are next. Once they have their own people in place, they plan to start a bloody, brutal war on an unimaginable scale.

On restricted duty while he recovers from injuries incurred on a previous mission, Dewey Andreas is sent to Paris by CIA director Hector Calibrisi. The Secretary of State is going there for secret talks, and Dewey is to be an extra layer of security above the State Department team. But what should be an easy mission couldn't go more wrong. The cabal has sent in a hit man to take out the Secretary of State and lay the blame for this murder at the feet of Dewey himself. With the Secretary of State dead, shot by Dewey's weapon, Dewey is on the run and out in the cold, desperately trying to unravel the plot before the conspirators succeed in killing millions of innocents.

I never write reviews

I never write reviews. I've listened to hundreds and hundreds of audiobooks, and the espionage/thriller genre is one of my favorites. This might be my favorite of all time, no exaggeration necessary. This book is fantastic.

Best Coes book yet!

I have enjoyed all the Dewey Andreas novels but this was the best so far.

Need to understand what you're narrating

The book is great, the story is great. I struggled with the narration in this one. If you're narrating a book with a lot of weapons in it, learn how the people using them would refer to them - put it in terms that the expected audience expects.

Every time the narrator reads aloud M-1-9-1-1-A-1, it pulls you out of the story because it isn't how anyone that knows what it is would refer to it as. It's pronounced nineteeen-eleven, that's it. Add the A1 if you really want to, but nobody is going to talk like that if they're discussing the weapon.

That wasn't the only issue, it was just the most memorable because it happens quite frequently throughout the book.

Another great Dewey Andreas book

Another great story. Not sure why Coes switched narrators. I like jay Snyder but I felt like I was listening to the Gray Man series. Looking forward to the next. Ok in the series

Another home run 👍👊

Liked everything about this book. It drew me in and kept me hanging on every chapter. I am about to re listen to it again.

Wow! Awesome read

I was captivated by this book. Great job of storytelling and narration. loved it from beginning to end.

Well done

Where can Dewey go from here? He has killed all of his adveseries. Gant? Where to now?

Awesome addition!

This was a great story and Dewey pulls through again; however, who is the mystery person looking to take him down. Get them Dewey!

I LOVE these books!

And they would make great movies.

With every book, it seems like Coes comes up with a bigger problem to solve. Great action and a great story.

The reader is not quite as good as the usual readers of this book but he is really good at female voices for a guy with a baritone voice. Don't let that stop you from listening to the great book though!

Ben Coes books are now on my list of must-read authors as soon as the book is released.

Top notch book

This book was again a home run. Kept me entertained the entire time and good story. Performance by narrator was top notch as well. Looking forward to the next book.
