First Strike (Audible Audio Edition) Ben Coes Jeff Harding Isis Publishing Ltd Books Reviews
A great plot - plenty of twists and surprises. I read the eighth book in this series by Ben Coes first. I was impressed and went back, bought the other seven books and have been reading them in order of publication. That is the order in which these books should be read, as the characters and story line link together as the series progresses.
When one is reading one of the Dewey Andreas series the reader must always remember that Dewey is for all intents and purposes indestructible. He can be shot, stabbed, and thrown from tall buildings, and he will get up and still perform at the highest levels possible for a human. Just accept that, put your brain on hold in that regard, and you will find the books enjoyable.
In this case Dewey takes on ISIS - so, there is plenty of Middle East action, as well as action that ends up in New York City.
As in prior books in this series, the author has Arab terrorists using UZI sub-machine guns. They would never use the UZI, an Israeli weapon. Also, as in prior books, the author needs to learn that a hijab is only worn by women, and that Dewey would not be wearing one as he ran from the firefight. The author does not know weapons, but, in this book he has avoided many of the errors he had in prior books in the series - however, at one point he has Dewey move the fire selector on his weapon to "auto-hail". There is no such setting on any full auto firearm. It may not sound as dramatic, but the normal settings would be "semi", "burst" and "full".
As to grammar, page 90 the author ends a sentence with a preposition, and on page 341, he again shows that he does not understand the difference between the words "bring" and "take" - he seems to most always use the word "bring" when he should be using "take". In another case, page 380, he has Dewey say "What do you got?" - Just bad grammar.
To me these things are annoying as I read, as I am sure they are to other readers. But, not enough to take away from the overall enjoyment of the book.
I must say that I have been a long time fan of this series; the Dewey Andreas series and I must say that after reading this offering my opinion has not changed.
In this story Ben Coes has his hero Dewey going up against the leader and actually the founder of ISIS, a more vicious and evil villain I have run across in a fictional work in a long, long time. I like a good action tale such as this where you can really get into disliking the bad guy(s) and spend page after page hoping for a dreadful ending of them.
As with all the books in this series this one is filled with action and it does have a most satisfactory body count by the last page. It is also filled with nice little twists and turns and surprises. Unlike some of the past novels in this series, Dewey does not have to fight his own people and can concentrate of the main source – a very, very bad man and his almost equally rotten minions. The story is taken, more or less, from the headlines of today...sad to say.
Now some have complained that the author does not release these novels as fast as they would like. I have to tell you that I would like to see more coming out at a quicker pace but fear that if the author started cranking these stories out three and four a year like some “A-List” authors do his work would suffer as to quality and creativity. I am happy (sort of) to wait and not get fed a much of blah, blah, blah...something we seem to be getting a lot of as of late. Hope Coes hangs in their and does not let the good story telling fall by the wayside.
An excellent read and I have no complaints.
Ben Coes' First Strike is the sixth installment in the Dewey Andreas franchise. What beings as a routine mission for Dewey to bring some critical intel out of Syria, builds to a edge of the seat, nonstop thriller. The basic premise is that ISIS is an unfortunate result that has gotten out of hand by a naive Defense official trying to support moderate Middle East elements with the deal to leave the US alone. Naturally, all this has gone south by the time Dewey enters the picture. After initially being a one man wrecking crew in Syria, Dewey must deal with a college dormitory hostage situation that just happens to include Hector's daughter.
Dewey's tradecraft gets a full work out this time out. The action scenes are frequent and well detailed. In addition, Dewey offers several creative responses to extracting himself from tough situations. At the same time, there is also plenty of involvement by supporting players to avoid the one man show syndrome so common with many pseudo-thrillers. Finally, Coes continues to provide Dewey with fresh scenarios that avoid staleness and repetition.
Wow! What a roller coaster ride of a book. Intense with non-stop action. The book is very timely as the creation of ISIS starts the wild ride. Dewey Andreas and his close friends are once again called to save the US from losing its way of life. The first half of the book centers on Dewey getting information on arms sent to ISIS by the US government. Dewey is captured, but because his captors didn't kill him, he escapes.
The second half of the book focuses on hostage rescue with Dewey leading the effort. There are several other surprises which I won't divulge, but they add to the already intense action.
