        January 3, 2011
        Those who can't get enough post-9/11 novels about a maverick intelligence operative trying to foil yet another Islamic terrorist group bent on cataclysmic mayhem will welcome Berenson's fifth thriller featuring John Wells (after The Midnight House). No longer with the CIA, Wells flies to France to meet a prospective employer, who turns out to be Saudi Arabia's king, Abdullah bin Abdul-Aziz. The king fears that his brother Saaed, the Saudi defense minister, is plotting against him to insure that Saaed's 48-year-old son, Mansour, succeeds to the throne. Saaed's scheming has extended to supporting the gunmen who just shot up a bar in Bahrain popular with Americans. Unable to trust his own people, the monarch asks Wells to find out who's behind the terrorists, a hazardous mission that action-hero Wells readily accepts. The plot unfolds along predictable lines in a story arc that Tom Clancy readers or viewers of TV's 24 will find old hat.

      • content: King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia believes that people are plotting against him, and ex-CIA agent John Wells accepts a mission to uncover the identity of the plotters. George Guidall narrates with experience and style. He provides just enough characterization to make it possible to distinguish the main players in the large cast of characters, which includes people of many nationalities. Guidall's narration is perfectly timed. The long expository passages, which are necessary to give the listener the background to the story, are kept moving by Guidall's delivery. Graphic passages, including descriptions of terrorist attacks, are made all the more horrifying by Guidall's carefully managed narration. K.J.P. (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine
