Coes’s heart-pounding fourth Dewey Andreas thriller (after 2012’s The Last Refuge) finds the ex–Delta Force member still fighting the world’s baddest bad guys and coming away bloodied but on top. Fao Bhang, China’s minister of state security, decides to have the American killed while he visits Argentina, but the mission goes awry, resulting instead in the death of someone close to Dewey. Bhang exerts diplomatic pressure to escape any official consequences for his actions, so Dewey strikes out on his own to exact revenge. The CIA and MI6 try to recruit him for their plan to terminate Bhang, but Dewey refuses, as this time it’s personal. Coes is a master at creating extended scenes of intense mayhem, and Dewey is a hero who will have patriotic readers standing in their seats cheering. An ambiguous ending leaves readers with a frightening question: will Dewey live to fight again? Agent: Nicole James, Aaron M. Priest Literary Agency.
Peter Hermann is perfectly cast to take the listener on this thrilling adventure with a hero of few words. Dewey Andreas, who is ex-Delta Force, has a chequered past. After a surprisingly slow start , the action in this revenge story doesn't cease until he triumphs against all odds in the end. Along the way, Hermann must voice multiple Chinese and English characters plus German, Irish, Ukrainian, Iranian, Israeli, and French accents. While he does so with gusto, his success is variable. But does it matter? Not really. This is a great listen for those who want thrills rather than analysis. Even a thirty-minute car chase doesn't pall for listeners who are happy to give themselves over to all-American heroism. C.A.T. (c) AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine
