John Wells returns for another deadly mission from New York Times best-selling author Alex Berenson...
In an Istanbul hotel, a deep source warns a CIA agent that Iran intends to kill a CIA station chief. Quickly, John Wells is called in to investigate, but before he can get far, the tip comes true. Which means that the next warning the source gives will be taken very seriously indeed. And it’s a big one.
A radioactive one.
As the threat level jumps and the government mobilizes, Wells must figure out what’s really going on. From a drug lord’s mansion in Guatemala to a secret plastic surgery center in Thailand to the slums of Istanbul, Wells uses every skill he has - including his ability to go undercover in the Arab world - to chase down leads. But the enemy he faces is equally determined. And soon he may be too late to pull the United States back from the brink of war...

Would you try another book from Alex Berenson and/or George Guidall?
Alex Berenson: YesGeorge Guidall: Yes, and in my opinion he is the best reader in my 200+ audiobook library.
What was most disappointing about Alex Berenson’s story?
This book felt pointless. Nothing really happened except some drama in the personal life and setting up the plot for the next book in the series. This book easily could have been condensed into the first six or seven chapters and left the next forty to fifty chapters for the body, climax and conclusion.What about George Guidall’s performance did you like?
He is an amazing narrator and really makes any book he reads more interesting and enjoyable.Do you think The Counterfeit Agent needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
They may as well have put "To Be Continued..." at the end of the book.Any additional comments?
I would recommend this book only in a year or so when the next book comes out. I mean, for heaven's sake, the last words of the book are, "twelve days." Meaning, that they have twelve days the finish what they had started. They should have just waited another year and combine this book with the next one.Worse cliffhanger than The Hobbit Pt. 2

Where does The Counterfeit Agent rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I chose this book because I love George Guidall. I was very surprised by the great story and listen. I am a big fan of Daniel Silva and Brad Thor. This was just as gripping and involved as those! I can't wait to get into the next one!Surprisingly great listen

The action is less classic John Wells and more the gradual evolution of a middle age spy who prefers to forego the dramatic cinematic action scenes. At the same time, Berenson develops other characters with detailed backstories for additional action. The only ding to the tale is that while Wells does eventually get his man in classic John Wells style, the story ends without full resolution as the major puppetmasters remain at large and largely unidentified, suggesting, hopefully, that book 9 will complete the story arc.
The narration is simply superb. Guidall is a master of voices, tone, and pacing. His slightly gravelly rendition is perfectly suited for hard nosed spy thriller.
Solid Wells thriller except for the ending

Would you listen to The Counterfeit Agent again? Why?
You could write a John Wells novel on toilet paper and I am going to read it. This is my favorite character in the genre. I will likely listen again on my runs.What about George Guidall’s performance did you like?
If you haven't listened to Guidall, do yourself a favor: START NOW! He is hands down the best voice on audible.Any additional comments?
I just love Vinnie Doudo.OK, you got me, John Wells is my alter ego

Who was your favorite character and why?
John Wells of course!He is great at getting out of tough situations and when he has to be ruthless, he is. But not without thought. He doesn't like to kill but knows its necessary when he does. He is all about problem solving and doing the right thing. He does a lot of internal thinking and at times doesn't like what he sees in himself but is pragmatic enough to move on.
I really like the fact that he has a conscience and has a faith. At times he struggles with it, but knows in the end that's all he really has left.
What does George Guidall bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Personality.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
YesAny additional comments?
I really have a deep fondness for this series. I skipped a couple books and regret it. I can only be excited to listen to the next book!Another winner!
