The Ghost War Audiobook

" fantastic book and a great character. I keep reading (listening to these books!!!! "

" Great action drama "

" A good spy, action novel. A nice follow up to the first book the Faithful Spy. I am excited to read the next in the series. "

" The second in a series - I'm now hooked. Berenson, to me, is a mix of Tom Clancey and Nelson DeMille - fast paced, action packed stories with great characters. I've already got the third book ready to pop open and start today. "

" I really am enjoying these John Wells books. I am going to have to stop myself from reading the all quickly though. I think they will get very predictable. I love that China was the evil in this one though. "

" Still kinda weird..... "

" I would probably rate this three and a half stars if I could. Not bad story line criss crossing the world with John Wells. One problem I had was that there were parts where I wanted more story and follow up and others where I wanted less. John Wells is a CIA operative who is also a national hero for breaking up a terrorist cell in Times Square. A little too much into his psyche as he is trying to understand his death wish. His companion and lover Jennifer Exley also a CIA agent are together trying to figure out what is happening to the American troops in Afghanistan as the Talibs are getting better at fighting us and there are rumors of white troops are training them. Who are these people? Then a top secret North Korean nuclear spy for America is outed and the men in charge with his rescue are killed trying to get him out. Then this leads to the discovery of a mole in the CIA who is leaking crucial information that is killing fellow agents. What does this all add up to? Next a top Chinese spy defects. Then a confrontation with China turns explosive. A relatively clever story and still some unanswered questions for John Wells. "

" Better than The Faithful Spy. "

" I must have read a good review for this, but when the reserve came in I couldn't remember anything about it--it's action/suspense/spy thriller kind of stuff. Then the very day I picked it up, a patron came in looking for the sequel; she'd loved this and could hardly wait to start the next one. For me, just okay. A lot going on. Action moved from Korea to China to Afganistan to the US and back and forth all over the place. May be better read than listened to. "

" Great page turner with a story ranging from Afghanistan to China. Convinced me to read the rest of the "John Well" series. "

" A little out there... "

" Maybe not quite as good as the first book in the series, but a really good modern espionage tale. Listened to the audio version read by George Guidall. "

" I usually don't like war books, but this was very good. good characters and it kept my interest throughout. "

" Nothing unique or special about his charaters. In fact, I never felt connected to either of his main characters. They are both void of any emotion. Additionally, I felt he evoted too much of his own political veiws into the story -which was not necessary to make his point. "

" my favorite of alex's books although most prefer one or four. i really liked the chinese leader character. liked that it was less black and white than such books generally are. (and 5 stars is clearly grade inflation since alex is a friend) "

" Only a CIA spy, in the middle of Beijing, could buy a cell phone off the rack and get an immediate connection on his first call to Washington DC. HELLO, REALITY????!!!!! Cliched standard cookie stuff, easy enough to get through, but I'm not likely to pick up Berenson again. "

" If you like thrillers it is fascinating!! "

" second book for Berenson. not as good as the first. Somewhat naive plot develops after an excellent opening couple of chapters. "

" Can't wait to read what other adventures Wells gets himself into. "

" A bit of a disappointment after the brilliance of the first one but I'll keep going with the series "

" Definitely not as good of a read as "The Faithful Spy" however I did enjoy the book and couldn't seem to put it down. "

" Generally good, but there seems to be a little too much violence/mature themes in this genre for me.... "

" Well written by a well-informed author. I appreciated the accuracy. "

" A favourite popcorn read series with the guilty pleasure allayed by the authors above average ability to deal with shades of grey although he lacks the courage to be too controversial. "
