This is the ninth book in the Dewey Andreas series。 Like the others this is a fast paced book that is a quick read。 The premise involves terrorists scenarios that are quite possible that interact in masking which one is the actual goal。 The only drawback to these books from my view is the author’s fascination with describing the various weapons in great detail。 Others may find this of interest， but it reads like unnecessary filler to me。I received a free Kindle copy of this book courtesy of Net This is the ninth book in the Dewey Andreas series。 Like the others this is a fast paced book that is a quick read。 The premise involves terrorists scenarios that are quite possible that interact in masking which one is the actual goal。 The only drawback to these books from my view is the author’s fascination with describing the various weapons in great detail。 Others may find this of interest， but it reads like unnecessary filler to me。I received a free Kindle copy of this book courtesy of Net Galley and the publisher with the understanding that I would post a review on Net Galley， Goodreads， Amazon and my nonfiction book review blog。 。。。more

The key feature of any good suspense novel is having suspense。 This book is devoid of any。 The plot is good enough: Hezbollah attacks Manhattan and it’s up to the hero， Dewey Andreas， to save the world。 Here are the problems I had which caused me to struggle through this reading:- it’s very cliche for a suspense novel。 From the characters to the situations， there aren’t a lot of new ideas here （except inside the Fed）- the hero， Dewey， appears in the first 1/3 of the book and sporadically in the The key feature of any good suspense novel is having suspense。 This book is devoid of any。 The plot is good enough: Hezbollah attacks Manhattan and it’s up to the hero， Dewey Andreas， to save the world。 Here are the problems I had which caused me to struggle through this reading:- it’s very cliche for a suspense novel。 From the characters to the situations， there aren’t a lot of new ideas here （except inside the Fed）- the hero， Dewey， appears in the first 1/3 of the book and sporadically in the last 1/3 but not at all in the middle- there are too many characters to keep track of- from about page 10 you can extrapolate everything that’s going to happen and not be wrong。 - the author cares more about details of weapons than I care to knowI wouldn’t exactly consider this a suspense novel since there’s none of that， maybe it’s just a theoretical invasion novel。 The bottom line is that there are a bunch of other authors out there that do better in this genre。 Much better。 I’m glad this book is done。#netgalley #theisland 。。。more

This book is a must read if you like Dewey Andreas just a little bit。 Hezbollah and Iran are set to take the fight to the Great Satan on our own soil with a very sophisticated plan to decapitate the US government。 Only Dewey can save the day。 Dewey is aboard a luxury yacht with his sort of girlfriend and her family and several bombs take out the bridges and tunnels to New York City。 A siege is underway and the US is helpless to stop it。 This story has another big wrinkle I don't want to ruin in This book is a must read if you like Dewey Andreas just a little bit。 Hezbollah and Iran are set to take the fight to the Great Satan on our own soil with a very sophisticated plan to decapitate the US government。 Only Dewey can save the day。 Dewey is aboard a luxury yacht with his sort of girlfriend and her family and several bombs take out the bridges and tunnels to New York City。 A siege is underway and the US is helpless to stop it。 This story has another big wrinkle I don't want to ruin in this review。 Definitely a 5 star book even though we all sort of know how it will end。 I do think this is one of the better Dewey books and hope the author keeps writing。Thank you Netgalley， Ben Coes and St。 Martin's Press for the ARC for my honest review。 。。。more

Dewey Andreas is back and he is hunted。 The Island by Ben Coes is an action thriller masterpiece。 I thought the series was great from the beginning but then it kind of slowed down in the middle of the series。 I am sure glad I kept reading about Dewey because this is one of the best books I have read in a while。 I even laughed out loud at some things in the story， this book has it all。 Politics， military action， terrorism， romance， suspense and humor。 I already am looking forward to the next one Dewey Andreas is back and he is hunted。 The Island by Ben Coes is an action thriller masterpiece。 I thought the series was great from the beginning but then it kind of slowed down in the middle of the series。 I am sure glad I kept reading about Dewey because this is one of the best books I have read in a while。 I even laughed out loud at some things in the story， this book has it all。 Politics， military action， terrorism， romance， suspense and humor。 I already am looking forward to the next one from Ben Coes。 Thank you for writing these books。 I also thank Edelweiss， St。 Martin's Press and Macmillan for letting me have this advance copy。 。。。more

THE ISLAND is one of author Ben Coes most thrilling and tightly created books yet in the Dewey Andreas series。 There isn’t much mystery about how the conflagration with evil doers will begin， but rest assured， Dewey will save the day。 Reading from beginning to end is an exercise in speed， thrills and manic adventure。 I read the book straight through， unable to put it down， breathing a sigh of relief at the end: the world is safe again。 Hopefully， we will meet our hero yet again， in another thril THE ISLAND is one of author Ben Coes most thrilling and tightly created books yet in the Dewey Andreas series。 There isn’t much mystery about how the conflagration with evil doers will begin， but rest assured， Dewey will save the day。 Reading from beginning to end is an exercise in speed， thrills and manic adventure。 I read the book straight through， unable to put it down， breathing a sigh of relief at the end: the world is safe again。 Hopefully， we will meet our hero yet again， in another thrill ride of a book。 I received my copy from the publisher through NetGalley。 。。。more

The Island， the ninth Dewey Andreas book by Ben Coes， was absolutely worth the wait！ It's been two-ish years since the last Andreas book and Coes gives fans of this series everything they wanted and more。 Coes has surrounded Andreas with fantastic characters including Rob Tacoma， who may be a bigger badass than Andreas。 The plot and "villains" in The Island are topnotch and the pacing is lightning fast。 After the past few years， the last thing I want authors to do is push their politics on the r The Island， the ninth Dewey Andreas book by Ben Coes， was absolutely worth the wait！ It's been two-ish years since the last Andreas book and Coes gives fans of this series everything they wanted and more。 Coes has surrounded Andreas with fantastic characters including Rob Tacoma， who may be a bigger badass than Andreas。 The plot and "villains" in The Island are topnotch and the pacing is lightning fast。 After the past few years， the last thing I want authors to do is push their politics on the reader， so I appreciate Coes leaving most of the politics out。 If you have never read a Dewey Andreas book before you can read this as a stand-alone。 Coes uses an ingenious way to get the reader caught up on the previous exploits of Andreas。 I can't stress enough how much of a fun read The Island was。 Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the privilege of reviewing The Island 。。。more

A great read！ The Island is a riveting， action-packed thriller。 I was immersed immediately into the tense plot。 Dewey Andreas is relentless and shows no mercy to the bad guys， as it should be。 And not just Dewey， but a cast of characters ready to do what must be done to eradicate terrorists and save America。 Highly recommend The Island to fans craving intense， adrenaline fueled political thrillers。 Special thanks to NetGalley， Ben Coes and St。 Martin’s Press for the advanced copy of The Island。

First and foremost， my thanks to Netgalley， St。 Martin’s Press， and Ben Coes for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review。 My review will focus on my thoughts about The Island; the book’s promo describes the topic: Iran’s three prong terrorist attack on NYC， much more extensive and deadly than 9/11。THE explosive thriller for the summer！ ⭐️ ⭐️🤩 😳 🤩 🌟 🌟 WOWIE！！MULTI-DIMENSIONAL CHARACTERS~ Ben Coes has created a likable character in Dewey Andreas。 His over-the-top superhuman veneer is jux First and foremost， my thanks to Netgalley， St。 Martin’s Press， and Ben Coes for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review。 My review will focus on my thoughts about The Island; the book’s promo describes the topic: Iran’s three prong terrorist attack on NYC， much more extensive and deadly than 9/11。THE explosive thriller for the summer！ ⭐️ ⭐️🤩 😳 🤩 🌟 🌟 WOWIE！！MULTI-DIMENSIONAL CHARACTERS~ Ben Coes has created a likable character in Dewey Andreas。 His over-the-top superhuman veneer is juxtaposed to his emotional vulnerability （due to tragic personal relationships）。 Balancing these two sides develops a round， three dimensional character。 An interesting technique the writer uses to expose Dewey’s personal conflicts is self talk; the reader is privy to emotional hurts and soul searching thoughts， endearing him to readers。 Secondary characters are also well developed with authentic voices。 While most books in this genre are plot driven， it is delightful to have the depth of characters to enjoy as well！ DEATH DEFYING ACTION~Mr。 Coes never fails to enthrall readers with exciting storylines。 The Island is fast paced and （non-stop） action packed！ ELECTRIFYING action fuels the plot from the opening page。 It is the quintessential edge-of-your-seat， heart pounding espionage thriller。 This high-octane action is a page turner （ and a stay- up-all- night read）！ DYNAMIC PLOT~As usual per this genre， one must suspend disbelief。 In The Island， suspension of disbelief is necessary to the 10th power！ The Iranians dispatch a team to ambush Dewey at his favorite restaurant hasn’t he learned to not have predictable schedules/ habits？）。 The three prong attack on the USA happens concurrently: create panic with mass executions of American citizens in NYC， prohibiting their escape by bombing all four tunnels out of NYC， killing the USA President at the United Nations as he is makes a speech， and infiltrating the Federal Reserve and obliterating the financial infrastructure of the USA。 Admittedly， over the top， but SO RIVETING！ It pushes the envelope even further as it has fantastically futuristic SCI-FY scenarios （iodine sheets/ force fields guarding the Federal Reserve）。 There are other over-the-top scenes that are not credible （and irksome if one is seeking authenticity）。 However， the overall FUN and ADRENALINE RUSH of reading The Island overrides these issues！ Just enjoy the high-octane ride！ Warning: carve out a day to immerse yourself in The Island。 It is truly unput-down-able！ 。。。more
