The Shadow Patrol

Exploitation of tragedy. Terrible. Untrue. Disgusting.

I have read all his books as they have been published. This book was just OK, at best. I didn't mind reading it but I never felt compelled or as though I couldn't put it down.i like Wells' character but there was not much plot or character development . It was somewhat interesting being in Afghanastan.

John Wells at his best. Alex you did not let us down with this story. I hated to turn the last page. Have John keep up the good fight. Thank you

Keeps looping the download??? How do you fix this?

this was not as good as previous book I read. This story dragged on too long with little action. Did not keep my interest at all. I like the John Wells character however, this was not worth my time to read . I quit about 2/3 thru the book. I would try another book if he writes one, but this book did not do it for me. Dave.

The plot and action is up to Mr. Berenson's usual excellence. Low cheese factor means that the location descriptions, military lingo, depictions of military procedure and tactics, and technical descriptions are pretty accurate. When they aren't, the substitutes aren't so cheesy that they take away from the story for someone who has been there. The descriptions of BAF, KAF, Kabul, FOBs, Afghanistan in general, and the locations in Pakistan were good enough to remind me of time I spent in some of those places. It brought back memories for me. I definitely recommend this book.

Really good read.

Wells, Schaffer & Duto are great characters, well developed in earlier books, but dismally shallow in this installment. The plot was as deep as a comic strip panel. This last entry in the John Wells saga certainly relied on the character development and successes of previous books. This book on its own would not have gone far without the reputation that Berenson earned from previous entries. It's very disappointing to wait for a new book from a favorite author only to find that he has either missed a beat with this one or is sliding down the slope of lazy authors who just pump out short poor plots as new episodes and rely on past successes for sales. Come on Alex, you can do better and we as your audience deserve better. P.S. It's Wells, Schaffer, Duto and the CIA as well as a much deeper mystery that you need to develop. Wells' attempt to rekindle his father/ son relationship is NOT why your fans buy these books.

Can someone please help?? I pre-ordered this book(and two others), and cannot complete the download. I am in a continuous loop of download hell. It keeps bouncing me when I press "Download" by saying that I " ...have already purchased this book. Go to Purchases and tap Download".......and the loop starts again. This is the third book that this has happened to me when pre-ordering. HELP!!!
