Dewey Andreas is back...and the clock is ticking!
Cloud, a high-level Russian hacker, perhaps the best in the world, has acquired a nuclear weapon. It's an older bomb from the USSR's Cold War arsenal with the power to devastate a major city. Fueled by a dark and personal vendetta, Cloud has put it onto an anonymous trawler, piloted by jihadists, headed straight to America.
Dewey Andreas, former Delta working as an agent for the C.I.A., is still drowning in grief after the tragic murder of his fiancée. Dewey has lost his focus, his edge, and the confidence of his superiors.
Learning of the missing loose nuke and picking up chatter about an impending terrorist attack on American shores, the best and most talented C.I.A. agents are now chasing both Cloud and the bomb. Acting on credible intel, two highly trained teams are sent into Russia in a two-pronged mission to grab Cloud. But it's a trap, and now America's last hope of stopping the bomb is an unofficial agent gone rogue-Dewey Andreas.
With only three days left, Dewey Andreas must find the elusive Cloud. To do so, Dewey will risk everything to find the most dangerous and skilled enemy he's yet faced. For if he fails, American will suffer its most deadly terrorist attack on the Fourth of July-Independence Day.

Editorial Reviews
Review
“Explosive from beginning to end and one of those rare titles that is so much fun that you wish it would never end... INDEPENDENCE DAY may well be the best installment of the series to date. I don't think I'll celebrate another Fourth of July without thinking of it. There's enough action, explosions, fatalities and (best of all) intelligence nuggets to fill a summer's equivalent of books... Strongly recommended, from first page to last.” ―Bookreporter
“Coes is in the same league as Brad Thor and Vince Flynn, and this high-octane race against time will have plot-driven thriller readers unable to turn the pages fast enough.” ―Booklist (starred review) on Independence Day
“Compelling characters, a wealth of technical detail, and ticking-clock suspense make [INDEPENDENCE DAY] one of the year's best thrillers... Last-minute twists ratchet up the tension as the book races to the final confrontation.” ―Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Action, international intrigue, romance--it doesn't get any better.” ―San Jose Mercury News on The Last Refuge
“Ben Coes has created a hero who ranks with the protagonists in a Vince Flynn or Brad Thor thriller . . . The Last Refuge is a winner and will keep readers turning the pages.” ―The Associated Press
“My favorite novel in at least a decade. The writing was inherently masculine, brilliantly crafted.” ―Huffington Post on Eye for an Eye

In this novel, a young Russian computer genius has cracked CIA's protection software, and has had free access to all of CIA's data networks. In addition he has acquired an old 1950's era atomic weapon and has plans to take revenge on the USA for the murder of his father and mother. Dewey, is thrust into the middle of this struggle. The plot has enough twists and turns and interesting characters to keep the reader involved.
The books in this series are "fun reading" and not fine literature by any stretch of anybody's imagination. One must suspend all thoughts based in reality as to the amount of punishment the human body can sustain and still function - but, what else would you expect of someone who is just molecule short of being a "Super-hero".
I am now convinced that the author does not know the difference between the words "bring" and "take". There are at least three instances where he uses "bring" when he should have used "take” (pages 5, 274, and 333 in the paperback edition). To explain - "bring” is used when the item being moved is coming to the location of the speaker, "take" is used when the intended final location of the item is elsewhere. This type of error should, in my opinion, be caught in proof reading. This is not a new complaint of mine with this author - see my other reviews of books in this series.
The author has one of the characters in the book use "Channel 16" to place a "Mayday" call, requesting a replacement fuel pump. First off an ocean going vessel such as "Lonely Fisherman" would not be using short range VHF (maximum range 60 miles) for such a transmission, and secondly, the correct transmission would have been "Pan-Pan" not "Mayday for such a call about needing a fuel pump. Since 2007, EPIRBs have been the only legally accepted distress signaling. And the US Coast Guard, along with most of the rest of the world, stopped monitoring anything except EPIRBs on February 1, 2009. This switch away from the old 500 Hz Morse Code channel was part of the changes in the SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) regulations - which also discontinued having a full time radio operator monitoring the distress channel. One can debate the changes, but cost efficiency won out over, in my opinion, safety. But, that is a subject for another conversation - but, as far as this book goes - the author should have done a little more research before making this a key turning point in the plot.
At least in this novel the author has stopped trying to describe many different types of handgun, and getting many of the facts wrong, as in the prior novels in this series.
An enjoyable book - just accept it for what it is - fun escapism.
Dewey has less of the spy elements this time and sticks mostly to action of various types all taking place in Russia.The Russian hacker is pitted against a US good guy, but CIA independent cyber warrior which unfortunately is largely irrelevant to the mission. As a beach read, this is a tasty morsel that also serves to reinstate Dewey solidly back in his true form.
1. A brigadier general can’t be chairman of the joint chiefs
2. The weapons related segments need a good polishing by a knowledgeable armorer.
In general a great read
