Synopsis

In "one of the best" political thrillers from two Washington insiders (Nelson DeMille, NYT bestselling author), America's leaders must hunt down a master terrorist in hiding and neutralize the threat of political betrayal.

The greatest nightmare for the free world today would be an extremist in hiding, controlling and coordinating radical Islamic groups at the highest level around the globe.

In Duplicity, two bestselling authors -- former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and Pulitzer Prize finalist Pete Earley -- weave a grim and gripping tale of this worst case scenario. From home front fears to an international crisis, this thriller is terrifyingly plausible, ripped straight from the headlines.

When President Sally Allworth decides to reestablish America's Mogadishu embassy in Somalia weeks before Election Day, her challenger says she is playing politics with American lives. That turns out to be true when the embassy is attacked and hostages are taken. Station chief Gunter Conner and Marine captain Brooke Grant end up the unlikely survivors of this Benghazi-style strike. And suddenly, they are the only hope for saving their captured colleagues.

With his in-depth political knowledge of friends and foes on the political stage, only Newt Gingrich could weave such a spellbinding tale of events and personalities, one that could actually happen . . . if America's leaders aren't wary of a world full of duplicity.

In this one, the first female President of the United States decides to open an embassy in Mogadishu, so that she can say Somalia is safe. Of course, it isn't and bad things......more

Goodreads review by Gitisha on February 10, 2016

The novel started off slow and it was a challenge to keep track of so many characters. However, it picked up after a few chapters and was filled with action and international intrigue. It was interesting to get a glimpse of behind the scenes scheming that goes on in politics. Looking forward to read......more

Quotes

A thrilling tale of America's darkest day.—W.E.B. Griffin on Pearl Harbor

[Gettysburg] is believable and beautifully written...every bit as good as Michael Sharra's The Killer Angels.

Grim, gritty, realistic, accurate, and splendid, this is a soaring epic of triumph over almost unimaginable odds.—Library Journal on To Try Men's Souls

The authors' research is impeccable...the reader is left believing it could really have happened this way.—Booklist on Never Call Retreat

An exciting alternative history of the Civil War. Character depictions are vivid, detailed, and insightful. One of the best novels of the Civil War to appear in recent years.—Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) on Grant Comes East
