Coup d'Etat A Dewey Andreas Novel Ben Coes 9780312580766 Books

My younger sister got me started on this series by Ben Coes, i.e. ‘The Dewey Andreas Novels” and I do want to thank her for it. I had not idea she even read this genre, much less liked it...learn something new everyday, huh!

This is the second novel in this series and yes, some of the ‘bad guys’ from the first book, “Power Down” are featured in this one but we have an array of new wretched villains. Many of the good guy characters are present in this one along with some interesting new ones.

A new President has been elected in Pakistan, a religious nut job, who immediately drops an atomic bomb on India in an attempt to ramp up his fight against the infidels. If India responds by obliterating Pakistan, which they are capable of doing, they in turn will be destroyed and China and the United states will be drawn into the fray...to the destruction of all.

It is decided that the only way out of this mess is to ‘remove’ the president of Pakistan, i.e. kill him, and replace him with a more moderate leader. Who is to do this deed; this most dangerous need which must not fail?

Our stone cold killer, former Ranger and DELTA, Dewey Andreas, now working hidden on a ranch in Australia is the only solution...this is one hard guy!

Not only must Dewey deal with the assignation of a well guarded world leader, but he must also avoid being captured and tortured by an Arab billionaire and Jihadist who still holds a major grudge against Dewey for killing his son...yet another wretched dirt bag.

The action in this one is almost non stop. Yes, as with all action thrillers the reader must put their credibility sensors on hold for a bit, but let’s face the fact that this is a fictional work meant to entertain and not a manual of how to take out a world leader without getting killed yourself. It is fiction; a story, a tall tale and it is well written and a lot of fun to read if you like this sort of thing. I found the body count to be pleasingly high.

Coup d'Etat A Dewey Andreas Novel Ben Coes 9780312580766 Books Reviews

Ben Coes continues to turn out Dewey Andreas thrillers that are engaging without significant boring "filler" pages. This series certainly contains passages/portions of plot that require suspension of logical disbelief. Nonetheless I always personally look forward to the next book release. Read them for what they are... escapism thrillers.

After I read Elizabeth Kohler's the Sixth Extinction I suggested it to friends and told them that I thought that it should earn a Pulitzer; in this I was prescient. Brian Greene's The Elegant Universe is also a wonderful book for serious readers out there.

However Ben Coes writes the Andreas series to entertain and to make money; he succeeds on both levels.
The first half of the book wasn't very good. There was so much boring political discussion going on. If they do XXX then this will happen but if they don't do xxx then that will happen. Pages and pages of unnecessary details. I found the briefings totally boring and kept skipping pages same with all the discussions on succession There really was too much waffle. The backgrounds on Iverheart and Miller could easily have been a paragraph but instead we got bogged down with pages of irrelevant information. Who cares if Miller was suspended for a semester. It didn't matter to the story and all this blah blah blah detracted from the story. The second half of the book was action and very enjoyable. I didn't want a lecture on international politics... just a decent story of good guys v bad guys, with lots of unbelievable action. I gave it 4 stars based solely on the second half of the book.
I read book eight in this series (the latest one) and after giving it a five star review, I purchased the other seven books in the series. I finished the first book in this series earlier this week and have now finished reading this novel (the second in the series.)

Ben Coes, as an author, has improved in this novel over the first in the series, although not quite up to the latest book, it is still very enjoyable.

If you are going to read this series of books - do so in order of publication, as the books do build on the prior installments. Although, I must say the author brings the new reader up to speed fairly quickly without a full rehashing of all of the prior story line.

This series centers around the character of Dewey Andreas - a former Ranger/Delta operative, that has tried to avoid that world, but keeps getting dragged back into it. In this installment, he has gone to one of the remote "stations" (ranches) in Australia to get away from the results of the first book in the series - he remains there unmolested for a year - while the father of the key terrorist he killed in the first book hunts for him. Needless to say, they find him (otherwise there would not be much of a story). He is warned by his sometimes girlfriend, and eludes the terrorists, and is then dragged into the India/Pakistan war that has started. Enough of the plot line - if you like complicated plot lines this one is pretty good - a bit more straight forward than the superb plot in the first book, but still decent.

Unlike the first book in the series which had a high number of firearm errors, I really only found one that stood out - the author mentions that one of the terrorist bodyguards is carrying a "Glock 33 .357 Magnum". The Glock 33 is actually chambered for the .357 SIG round. The SIG round was developed in the 1990's to give a semi-auto pistol similar stopping power to that of a revolver firing a .357 Magnum round, but the correct designation is 357 SIG.

At times one must suspend reality and to just go along with the plots in these books, the characters, although they bleed, and scar, it never seems really slow them down.
