Format:Hardcover
With just his second book, Alex Berenson, in my opinion has joined the ranks of today's elite spy thriller writers. The Ghost War, like its predecessor featuring CIA agent John Wells, is a tension-mounting thriller that has Wells returning to Afghanistan to investigate evidence the CIA received pertaining to a surge in Taliban activity backed by an unknown foreign power. But what he finds there is far from what he expected. Without going into detail, The Ghost War will have you on the edge of your seat as it tells its tale of the world hurtling toward confrontation as a result of a power play in China, an Iran determined to go to nuclear, and a mole within the ranks of the CIA. As with The Faithful Spy, Berenson's The Ghost War is well-written, exciting and very true-to-life. Further, the author has created characters that are believable and interesting; and John Wells is a character I definitely plan to go along with when the third book in the series, called The Silent Man, is published in March. Like most books, The Ghost War has some very minor flaws but they really aren't worth taking up your time describing. Rest assured, The Ghost War is a very worthwhile read, but I recommend that you read its predecessor, The Faithful Spy, first.
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Although I didn't realise when I purchased the book that the seller was in the USA, it came within the time specified and my emails were answered quickly. Very good service from across the pond.

The Ghost War
If you like action adventure books you will enjoy this one. The plot is a little far fetched, not too much, and the hero is an Arnie or Sly type, who can take on anyone and win. The plot has a few twists and turns, some a little improbable, but the novel motors on at a fair pace and is an exiting and enjoyable read. A Dawson

Great second book
Alex Berenson seems to be a very exciting author. I read his first book which I could not put down so I opened the Ghost war with high expectations. Read more
