Alex Berenson is a great writer and I love the John Wells Character.
Very glad to see that when he needed a cover he chose a Rhodesian. Well done.
do we have to read the books in order or can I read them randomly?
You COULD read them randomly no problem – but it’s recommended you read in order. Things in certain books will relate to previous books, character growth and relationships etc.
Absolutely read them in order. There are so many things that are a part of who John Wells was, is and will become. This is one of the very best series “spy” novels I have read. I read roughly 3 books per week and while they are mostly brain fodder, reading has given me a place to escape to. I have gained a healthy knowledge of the hard work it takes to write a great novel compared to just putting in the time. Wherever possible read all series in order even though some may not matter. This author is a gifted writer. Thanks, Alex Berenson!
Agreed – absolutely incredible series. What I liked when I read them back to back was that Berenson was great with catching the reader up. With writers like Vince Flynn I found he’d introduce a recurring character and basically copy/paste what he’d written the previous book about them. Berenson did it in a way that it’d catch up any new reader but wrote it new for us who were reading in order etc.
