Critic Reviews

“Praise for The Wolves "Masterful... The Wolves”

Praise forΒ The Wolves

β€œExhilarating...when the call of duty summons, Wells rises to the occasion; his emotions may be mixed, but he still puts on a great show for readers.”—Publishers Weekly
Β 
β€œ[An] adrenaline-filled thriller...Fans of the John Wells series won’t be disappointed. They’ll agree with his enemies that if Wells isn’t Superman, he’s super something.”—Kirkus Reviews
Β 
β€œAs always, Berenson brilliantly blends global politics into an adrenaline-pulsing spy novel. But, most of all, there is Wells, a stone-cold killer who nevertheless does what we all wish we could do: stand up to the powerful and make them pay.”—Booklist
Β 
β€œMasterful...The WolvesΒ is driven by a terrific and well-executed plot, but where Berenson truly shines is in his explanation of how certain parts of the world work. These would include spycraft and the dark tradeoffs made by governments at the highest and lowest levels.”—Bookreporter.com
Β 
β€œBerenson’s John Wells series has lost none of its power, novelty, and excitement. Wells is unique in contemporary thriller fiction [and] has become a richer character with each new story.”—Connecticut Post
Β 
β€œBerenson’s style is as seductive as his storytelling, andΒ The WolvesΒ has a bite that doesn’t let go from the first page straight through to the last.”—The Providence Journal
