4.0 out of 5 stars
Good follow up, July 28 2008
By N. Brett - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Ghost Agent (Hardcover)
In Berenson's previous novel we met John Wells, a spy so deep that there were concerns he had gone native. In addition to being a very intelligent thriller, it had a hero who was a Muslem and was very clear that there are peaceful Muslems and those who are fanatics. This perspective made for a very absorbing novel.Here we have Wells coping with the stress of his previous experience (and the fact he is now known to the general public for his deeds in Times Square towards the end of the previous novel). This does not stop him getting involved when things escalate with China as a result of a maverick Chinese senior officer.
Well,I think I have seen this plot in more then a few novels, but the author tells it well. Berenson has changed Wells slightly, he is less the man that does not fit into either culture, here he is just an all action spy. And now he is more sarcastic with some good one-liners - I don't recall that from the previous one.
This bordered on the Vince Flynn Rapp novels - no bad thing but it has taken away the originality of the first novel.
So why four stars? Well I almost went three but then I realised that this had kept me turning the pages well into the night, and much as I may have seen this kind of thing before, it still kept my attention. Probably a 3.5 if I am honest. There is a third one in the pipeline and I'll be buying that so this means I must have liked it!

The Ghost Agent/Ghost War??, May 20 2012

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Ghost Agent (Paperback)
Why did Alex Berenson release the SAME novel with two different Titles? The Ghost Agent and Ghost War are the same thing??? How is this possible? Why bother to do such a strange thing?
Listmania!
