Synopsis
CIA agent John Wells returns, in a novel that reaches beyond today's headlines to foretell dangers yet to come.
Alex Berenson's 2006 debut was one of the most acclaimed suspense novels of the year, a "hold-your-breath" (St. Louis Post-Dispatch), "frighteningly plausible" (The Baltimore Sun), "ingenious" (The New York Times), "pulse- pounding, intelligent thriller" (Military.com). The Ghost War proves that he is no longer a brilliant newcomer-but now a new master of the art.
In The Faithful Spy, John Wells became the only American CIA agent ever to penetrate al-Qaeda, but his handlers became dis- trustful of him, and he of them, and he had to stop a devastating terrorist attack nearly alone.
Now Wells is back in Washington. His wounds have healed, but his mind is far from clear. He is restless, careless with his safety, uneasy in his skin. When the CIA finds evidence of a surge in Taliban activity backed by an unknown foreign power, it takes little to convince Wells to return to Afghanistan to investigate. But what he finds there is far from what he expected.
