About this listen

"A fascinating, action-packed thriller from one of the genre's most talented authors. Don Bentley delivers a blistering adventure loaded with excitement and fabulous characters. You will not want it to end!"—Brad Thor, New York Times #1 bestselling author of Dead Fall

A brotherhood born in battle is endangered by a deadly secret in the latest astonishing thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of Tom Clancy Zero Hour and Hostile Intent.

As a team, Matt Drake and his partner, Frodo, have watched each other's backs through some very dark days. But one thing they've never doubted was their commitment to each other...until now.

Frodo has been accused of a war crime ten years after leaving Afghanistan. Matt is determined to prove his friend innocent, but what will he do when he finds that his closest friend has secrets he won't share?

Critic reviews

“Don Bentley does it again and does it well with Forgotten War, his fourth Matt Drake novel that ripsaws between war and peace and everything in between. Bentley, an Afghanistan vet, Apache pilot, and former FBI agent brings all this to the table for a word feast that few writers can match. There’s a lot going on in this fast-paced and well-plotted tale, and the bonus is the sharply drawn characters who you may—or may not—want to meet in a bar or on the battlefield. Forgotten War is an unforgettable read.”—Nelson DeMille, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Maze

Don Bentley rocks–this guy knows his stuff! His military thrillers are among the best in the business. And Forgotten War is as good as it gets. Intense. Explosive. Riveting. Absolutely unforgettable!Joel C. Rosenberg, New York Times bestselling author of The Kremlin Conspiracy and The Libyan Diversion

"Sensationally good—I want more Matt Drake."—#1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Child

Great Book

The emotions that are elicited by the author, tap into things that I don’t even acknowledge sometimes. As a veteran and someone who served overseas during war times, the sacrifices, the pain the tragedies, while I didn’t encounter all of these encountered enough to understand the empathy that I feelcomes out when I hear these stories. Wonderful job done by the author again.

A great chapter in the Drake series

The action is great and does not get overshadowed by technical detail. Also, the author takes the time to honor the courage and dedication of other soldiers. Most of us know the Afghanistan debacle upset and angered so many vets, and this book explains why. 

Page turner that honors our fallen

The Narrator, Scott Brick is outstanding. Everyone of his narrations pull you into the story and keep you engaged.

Loved the story line, one of my new favorite authors

This really helps me understand the mind of an operator, post Afghanistan. I know this is a fiction book, but sometimes that’s the only way to get across the emotion and tension of a failed policy. The lives of these fearless men and women should always be celebrated regardless of the outcome… But given the amount of sacrifice they made on a daily basis, I can understand the loss and grieving. Thank you for writing this book. Scott brick is the best at what he does, and I am glad that you chose him to read this book.

Amazing book, inside the mind of an operator post Afghanistan

One of Don Bentley’s best. The story gives meaningful character history and humanizes the 20 yr Afghan struggles in a deep and personal way.

Excellent work

Ol Drake has a hard time, that’s just a fact. You can feel the ties the author has to this story, and it really shows in the writing. Fantastic story, fantastic performance by Scott Brick. Wonderful.

The best yet by a long shot
