The Silent Man Audiobook

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

" This guy is easy to read - fast paced spy thrillers. John Wells (hero) is totally unbelievable so if you require "reality" in your thrillers you might not go for this guy. But as a hero - he is like an action figure - invincible, highly skilled, impervious to danger or nerves and apparently doesn't need to eat or sleep or do normal human things like that. "

" full spead ahead thriller. Alqaida brings in a nuclear warhead to the US, upstate NY. In a barn off a farm house they start putting together the warhead. Will they manage to transport it to Washington DC and blow up the White House? Will the CIA agent be able to stop them? "

" Intro to Berenson. Believe I will wish I had read the other two first. "

" Third John Wells novel. Trying to lead a normal life with Jen Exley, Exley is shot in a revenge plot by an arms mercenary, who later reaches detente with Wells by helping track down Islamist terrorists with a nuclear weapon. The theft/smuggling of the Russian nukes is a very good story line. "

" Realized I had already listened to this one...a good read but somewhat tiresome and tedious at times. One can only take so much terrorism rhetoric and nuclear jargon. "

" Berenson does a superb job with characterization, especially with Wells. Well researched and convincing. My only reservation was with the ending. Very abrupt and not consistent with the rest of the book. "

" carries on where the first tow left off - generally believable "

" A cut above the usual thriller. The characters are real, the story is well written and manages to avoid the most glarinh cliches. Liked it a lot. "

" This is a cold, dark story about Muslims stealing Russian uranium with plans to build a bomb. I quit after 50 pages. "

" Retired former special agent goes after terrorists who harm his love and plan to release nuclear bomb in Washington. "

" How can Americans feel comfortable that the weapons depot of foriegn countries remain secure? What if a terrorist steals some of those weapons? What should we do?...Send in John Wells to kick ass and clean it up! "

" Not bad. Quite enjoyed it even if I missed the first 2 in the series. It was good enough for me to want to read them too. "

" John Wells is a pretty cool operative who saves the world in each book!! "

" Listened to it while driving back and forth to Chicago. A good thriller, I would not want to see the movie of it. Too violent to my taste, but a good well told story "

" Listened to it. It was fine, somewhat gripping. Didn't mind that I slept through some of it. I wouldn't go out of my way to read more by him. "

" Excellent book. Ending was a bit of a let down but probably in line with real life I guess. "

" A good read and plausible enough I feel less safe now. Lets hope we have a John Wells helping to look out for us. "

" After enjoying the first two, I found Book 3 of the John Wells series uninspired. Berenson is just putting his man through the motions here without too much effort. "

" Lots of characters and all interwoven. Rather predictable end. "

" I really liked this series! Will definitely continue with it if the author produces more work with John Wells. "

" This turned out to be better than I thought. Don't know much about the author, but I am inclined to read additional titles. "

" I can't say that I really enjoyed this book. I just felt like I had to finish it. I just don't think I really liked the subject, egyptian and iranian terrorist... "

" Terrorists stealing nuclear warheads from a Russian storage facility. It's got my attention. A lot of interesting background on the technology of atomic bombs. Gripping plot with much at stake. "

" I really like the way Berenson leaves hints about the future enemies John Wells will face. All the while, the current story seems like it could easily be breaking news of a real-world disaster plot. Not as good as the first two books, but I still look forward to Wells' next adventure. "

" Terrorists stealing nuclear warheads from a Russian storage facility. It's got my attention. A lot of interesting background on the technology of atomic bombs. Gripping plot with much at stake. "

" Exciting adventure; lots of places mentioned I know well. "

" Berenson is a master storyteller. His thrillers are among the best in the genre. Guidall's performance is brilliant as well. "

" This is an entertaining book, but not as good as the first John Wells book- Faithful Spy. Faithful Spy has more depth and character internal conflict, which makes it a better book, but this one is still good. Nice easy thriller. "

" Listened to it. It was fine, somewhat gripping. Didn't mind that I slept through some of it. I wouldn't go out of my way to read more by him. "

" Can't he save the nation and have a personal life? "

" Pretty interesting stuff, really. I think most of us have forgotten Russia and think that it is a beaten old horse, but the bear is there and waiting for the time to come back to power. "

" Good spy read. Story is generally plausible but not particularly thought-provoking. "

" Retired former special agent goes after terrorists who harm his love and plan to release nuclear bomb in Washington. "

" Always been a fan of Berenson's pieces in New York Times - one of the few guys there that can still write. His fiction is even better. "

" Okay I read the book months ago. All I remember is that I don't like him. I kept asking myself who is this author? is he the son of Marisa Berenson? No. well I don't remember a thing and the book is next to me in a pile. Not picking it up and leafing through it. "

" I can't say that I really enjoyed this book. I just felt like I had to finish it. I just don't think I really liked the subject, egyptian and iranian terrorist... "
