After an effective opening, in which bestseller Berenson makes the victims of a terrorist attack real enough to give their deaths an emotional impact, his ninth John Wells thriller (after 2014’s The Counterfeit Agent) settles into familiar terrain. Everyone onboard a United Airlines flight from Mumbai to Newark, N.J., perishes when the plane is struck by a surface-to-air missile shortly after takeoff. Other disturbing events include the murder of a CIA station chief and, most ominously, the discovery of weapons-grade uranium in Istanbul. While the U.S. president accepts the conclusion that the nuclear material was from Iran and intended for use in an attack on America, Wells, a former CIA agent, believes otherwise. Wells is sure that Aaron Duberman, a billionaire casino owner, is responsible for the uranium and is attempting to trick the U.S. into invading Iran. The desperate efforts to avoid war make for an exciting page-turner, but the characters lack subtlety and the plot holds few surprises. Agent: Heather Schroder, ICM.

George Guidall, with more than a thousand audiobooks to his credit, contributes his Golden Voice to the latest thriller in Berenson's popular spy series. Guidall narrates with his usual élan, enough character differentiation to inform the listener, and that wonderful steadiness that moves the story right along. There's a lengthy backstory in the early part of the novel and an unusually abrupt ending. A billionaire and his beautiful, scheming cohort work to drive the U.S. and Iran into a shooting war. There are acts of terrorism and ramped-up crises, with a twelve-day deadline. D.R.W. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine
