John Wells has just managed to stop an operation designed to drive the United States and Iran into war, but the instigator disappeared behind an impenetrable war of security. Now itīs time for him to pay, and Wells has made it his personal mission. There are plenty of crosscurrents at work, though. Itīs when Russia and China enter the mix, however, that the whole affair is set to combust.
John Wells has just barely managed to stop an operation designed to drive the United States and Iran into war, but the instigator himself disappeared behind an impenetrable war of security. Now itīs time for him to pay, and Wells has made it his personal mission. There are plenty of crosscurrents at work, though. The White House doesnīt want anybody stirring the pot; his old CIA bosses have their own agendas; other countries are starting to sniff around, sensing something unusual.
Praise for The Wolves
"Exhilarating...when the call of duty summons, Wells rises to the occasion; his emotions may be mixed, but he still puts on a great show for readers."-Publishers Weekly
"[An] adrenaline-filled thriller...Fans of the John Wells series wonīt be disappointed. Theyīll agree with his enemies that if Wells isnīt Superman, heīs super something."-Kirkus Reviews
"As always, Berenson brilliantly blends global politics into an adrenaline-pulsing spy novel. But, most of all, there is Wells, a stone-cold killer who nevertheless does what we all wish we could do: stand up to the powerful and make them pay."-Booklist
"Masterful...The Wolves is driven by a terrific and well-executed plot, but where Berenson truly shines is in his explanation of how certain parts of the world work. These would include spycraft and the dark tradeoffs made by governments at the highest and lowest levels."-Bookreporter.com
"Berensonīs John Wells series has lost none of its power, novelty, and excitement. Wells is unique in contemporary thriller fiction [and] has become a richer character with each new story."-Connecticut Post
"Berensonīs style is as seductive as his storytelling, and The Wolves has a bite that doesnīt let go from the first page straight through to the last."-The Providence Journal
