[Dewey Andreas #9] The Island

CIA operative Dewey Andreas is America's last line of defense when terrorists take over Manhattan, targeting the U.N. and the President himself in The Island , the latest in this New York Times bestselling series by Ben Coes.

America is about to face the deadliest terrorist attack on it's soil since 9/11. Iran has been planning a revenge attack for years, with three goals in mind. Bring America to its knees. Assassinate the popular U.S. President J. P. Dellenbaugh. And neutralize their most successful agent, Dewey Andreas.

The first pre-emptive attack against Dewey Andreas fails but it worries the head of the CIA enough that he sends Dewey out of town and off the grid. But as intelligence analysts work as fast as they can to unravel the chatter on terrorist networks, Muhammed el-Shakib, head of Iran's military and intelligence agency, launches a bold strike. When the President arrives in New York to address the U.N., embedded terrorist assets blow up the bridges and tunnels that connect Manhattan to the mainland. Taking control of the island with it's hidden forces, they race to the U.N. in search of Dellenbaugh and to launch an even deadlier attack that will wreak unimaginable destruction on the country itself.

While a shocked country struggles to mount a counter-attack, a hopeless, outmanned and outgunned Dewey Andreas sneaks onto the island of Manhattan to fight a seemingly impossible battle.

"Heart pounding action, high levels of anxiety, a constant sense of imminent danger, and at least someone in the group making smartass remarks. Basically... it is AWESOME. If I could pick one book in 2021 to instantly be made into a Hollywood blockbuster... this is it." - Todd Wilkins, Best Thriller Books

"If you've been around the thriller genre for some time, it should be no surprise to you that this book is phenomenal. If you haven't read the series, there's no better time to start than now. Coes delivers a pulse-pounding, gut-wrenching drag race of a thriller. It's currently one of my favorites in the series, and it's a must-read for this summer." - Stuart Ashenbrenner, Best Thriller Books

"Overflowing with total unadulterated carnage and unyielding hostilities, The Island is one of the bloodiest novels of all time and an instant classic!" - Steve Netter, Best Thriller Books

" The Island is a smart narrative that stands out with gruesome action, brilliant plotting, and lively characters. I'd say it is my favorite Ben Coes book yet!" - Kashif Hussain, Best Thriller Books
