CIA agent John Wells returns, in a novel that reaches beyond today's headlines to foretell dangers yet to come.

The Ghost War Reviews

"While the mole hunt will be familiar to genre buffs and the characters and the perils they face aren't as nuanced as those in John le Carré or even David Ignatius, the author's plausible scenario distinguishes this from most spy thrillers." - Publishers Weekly.

"Berenson marshals turncoats, the Taliban, and testosterone to produce a tautly paced, credible, and gripping scenario guaranteed to buttress Berenson's niche as one of the stars in the suspense firmament." - Library Journal.

"Terrific and relentless suspense and action in a reasonably credible plot." - Kirkus Reviews.
