Bloody Sunday: A Thriller

by Ben Coes Narrated by Ari Fliakos

Overview

Bloody Sunday is the latest in Ben Coes's New York Times and USA Today bestselling Dewey Andreas series.

North Korea, increasingly isolated from most of the rest of the world, is led by an absolute dictator and a madman with a major goal-he's determined to launch a nuclear attack on the United States. While they have built, and continue to successfully test nuclear bombs, North Korea has yet to develop a ballistic missile with the range necessary to attack America. But their missiles are improving, reaching a point where the U.S. absolutely must respond.

What the U.S. doesn't know is that North Korea has made a deal with Iran. In exchange for effective missiles from Iran, they will trade nuclear triggers and fissionable material. An exchange, if it goes through, that will create two new nuclear powers, both with dangerous plans.

Dewey Andreas, still reeling from recent revelations about his own past, is ready to retire from the CIA. But he's the only available agent with the skills to carry out the CIA's plan to stop North Korea. The plan is to inject a singular designer poison into the head of the North Korean military and in exchange for the nuclear plans, provide him with the one existing dose of the antidote. But it goes awry when Dewey manages to inject a small amount of the poison into himself. Now, to survive, Dewey must get into North Korea and access the antidote and, while there, thwart the nuclear ambitions of both North Korea and Iran. And he has less than 24 hours to do so-in the latest audiobook thriller from Ben Coes.

A simple premise drives bestseller Coes’s excellent eighth thriller featuring indomitable CIA agent Dewey Andreas (after 2017’s Trap the Devil): North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un is dying of cancer. With less than a month to live, Jong-un decides to go out in a blaze of nuclear glory and take two American cities with him. All he needs is a couple of long-range missiles, and it so happens that his ally Iran is happy to supply them. Dewey has personal reasons for wanting to quit the spy business, but U.S. president J.P. Dellenbaugh talks him into staying on and dealing with the North Korean threat. CIA newcomer Jenna Hartford, on loan from MI6, has designed a mission to poison Gen. Pak Yong-sik, head of the North Korean armed forces, and force him to divulge Korean secrets in exchange for an antidote for the poison. It’s a complicated mission, and in the end only Dewey has the skills, courage, and sheer badass tenacity to pull it off. A ticking clock ratchets up the tension in the best entry in the series so far. Agent: Nicole James, Chalberg & Sussman. (July)

AUGUST 2018 - AudioFile

Ari Fliakos narrates the eighth book in the Dewey Andreas series. In a tensely plausible thriller, North Korea and Iran negotiate an exchange of technology that will elevate both countries to nuclear powers and allow North Korea to attack the U.S. After the events of previous books, Andreas is attempting to retire but finds himself drawn into a plan to prevent the exchange that goes horribly awry. Fliakos interjects tension and drama, perfectly conveying Andreas's race against the clock to get into North Korea to save the day. Fliakos masterfully voices Andreas with a simmering anger while adding striking accents and thoughtful portrayals of secondary characters. The narration raises an excellent thriller to a must-listen, even for those new to the series. J.M.M. Winner of AudioFile Earphone Award © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
