Synopsis

Another thrilling adventure featuring John Wells, the deep cover CIA operative from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Faithful Spy and The Deceivers.

John Wells barely survived his homecoming when it was thought he’d become too close to the terrorists. Though his wounds have healed, his mind is far from clear. He needs to get back in the fight. And there is a fight waiting for him. 

A power play in China is causing chaos around the globe. And even as Wells does what he does best, a mole within the CIA is preparing to light the final fuse that will propel an unsuspecting world toward open war and annihilation. And this time, there may be nothing John Wells can do to stop it...

Goodreads review by Kieran on May 30, 2020

The Ghost War (Ghost agent in the more civilised parts of the world) is one of those rare thrillers where Chinese characters act in a way that makes sense. Typically in the genre you'd expect cardboard cut out antagonists bent on world domination and with a sideline in executing their own minions. T......more

Goodreads review by Samuel on August 09, 2016
