It is a sequel to his first hit novel, THE FAITHFUL SPY, winner of the 2007 Edgar Award.<br /><br />CIA agent, John Wells, returns in THE GHOST WAR. The action is exciting and fast paced from D.C. to Afghanistan, to Korea, to China and finally back to the D. C. metro area. Wells and lady friend, Exley, both work for the CIA, and are a "team" once again in THE GHOST WAR.<br /><br />Action begins in the Yellow Sea and moves to Afghanistan. Chinese General Li Ping's (Chief of the PLA) negotiations with Iran results in near war between China and the U.S. Wells is sent to China to find out what is up and all hell breaks loose.<br /><br />At home a "side bar" story of a mole inside the CIA complicates things and this outstanding adventure comes to a very satisfying conclusion, setting the stage for #3 in the John Wells saga.<br /><br />Ernie AielloDenville Public Libraryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06831813283081513823noreply@blogger.com
