The Silent Man
The Silent Man by Alex BerensonMy review
rating: 4 of 5 stars From goodreads....
If you have not yet read one of Alex Berenson's John Wells spy novels, run to your library or a bookstore and grab one. The first one--The Faithful Spy--is impossible to put down; the second one--The Ghost War--will suck you in because each character has a complicated, but quickly conveyed backstory; and this, the third one, has the quickest pace yet, beginning with a bang and ending with a whimper, as our singularly determined character is finally derailed by his strengths. (Yet the ending is also a teaser for the beginning of the next.) The Silent Man includes a chilling description of the building of a homemade thermonuclear bomb. Snatch one up before he finishes the next one; I can't wait to read Wells's next adventure. I hope you grow to love Berenson's insight into current events and his singular creation, Wells, part cowboy, part actor, full-time lover, and full-time American, as much as I do.
