Publisher Description
Counterspy Alexander Hawke races to stop a madman hell-bent on murdering the British royal family in this latest spellbinding action thriller in Ted Bell's New York Times bestselling series.
Alex Hawke has all but given up on life. The British-American MI6 counterterrorism operative lost the woman he loved almost a year ago and has sought refuge at the bottom of a rum bottle ever since. But late one night at his home on Bermuda, he receives a wake-up call . . . literally.
His Royal Highness Prince Charles, an old friend, desperately needs his help. The prince has discovered a not-so-subtle threat directed toward the British royal family. What's more, the evidence reveals an ominous connection to Charles's god-father, Lord Mountbatten—the beloved family patriarch assassinated by an ingeniously designed bomb thirty years before. A shadowy figure from the past has the British crown in his sights, and has proven once before that his warnings are not to be taken lightly. Several clues point to IRA involvement, but the authorities have little to go on and answers are scarce. This is just the call to duty Hawke needs to get back into action—if the madman doesn't strike first.
Alex Hawke, one of the most dashing and compelling action heroes in all of thriller fiction, faces his most formidable challenge yet in Warlord, a gripping, white-knuckled adventure told with verve and swashbuckling panache by a master of the art.

"This book was really interesting. The plot was really well thought out. It kept me on the edge of my seat and I really enjoyed keeping up with all the event twists. The characters were very believable and likable and I really want to read the other books in the Alex series. "

Warlord Listener Reviews

" This book never has a dull moment till the stunning end. One can almost sympathize with the 'criminal' on reading his reasons-though one must remember that the end rarely justifies the means. Book nicely integrates history, terrorism, military and modern crime. "

" Surprisingly good thriller -- filled with cliched characters, of course, and no sense of irony. But a good trashy read. "
— Mark, 4/2/2011 -
" I found Ted Bell earlier this year and I love his books "
— Bev, 3/23/2011 -
" Good read. I really enjoy this series. Lots of action and they always get the bad guys. In this case the "Sword of Allah". Timely since the death of Osama, or is it?????? "
— Jason, 3/20/2011 -
" If you haven't discovered Ted Bell yet, you'd better rectify that situation. Any "Alex Hawke" book is a great read. "
— Jake, 3/13/2011 -
" So far so good - thriller/spy novel. I really like the way the author worked in Princess Diana's death into the terrorist plot. It's keeping my interest although it's taking me a while to get through it! "
— Terri, 2/25/2011 -
" Nothing more, nothing less than a solid adventure thriller in the James Bond tradition. Fast paced plots, varied interesting characters both in the good guys and bad guys categories, some romance. Quite simplistic and lacking substance but not insultingly so. An entertaining read. "
— Evyn, 2/1/2011 -
" Great story and liked the twist at the end... "
— Rich, 1/25/2011 -
" Such an entertaining series; can't wait for the next book "
— Jennifer, 12/31/2010 -
" I read this book hoping that it would pick up where the last one left off, and it did! Another crisis for Hawke to help fix only this time it's the call of duty and honor. I can't wait for the next installment! "
— Lbd, 12/20/2010 -
" I have read all of Ted Bell's Alex Hawke novels and have really enjoyed them. Some of the language is a little raw, but the story's Bell writes are outstanding. Recommend the entire series to those who love a good international conflict/novel. "
