COUP DETAT LIB/E Y

In COUP DETAT, Ben Coes second international thriller, worldwide terrorism has escalated out of control. Since his defeat of terror-mastermind Alex Fortuna in POWER DOWN, Dewey Andreas has been cow poking on an isolated ranch near Cooktown, Australia. But after a series of minor border-incidents in Kashmir ignite into the threat of global nuclear war, U.S. President Allaire calls on his master-assassin Andreas to eliminate the war-mongering new president of Pakistan, Omar El-Khayab. While Andreas is amassing forces for this mission, El-Khayab drops a nuclear bomb on India, and all bets are off. With China as ally to Pakistan, and with the U.S. allied to India by longstanding treaty, nuclear Armageddon seems unavoidable. Protected by the best-trained commandoes of Al-Qaeda and Hamas, Omar El-Khayab seems untouchable, yet only the overthrow of this most maniacal leader since Hitler can prevent nuclear holocaust. Jam-packed with crisp and cinematic action, this thriller doesnt quit. Ben Coes once again weaves terrifying and timely issues into the riveting, ongoing story of a man torn between his blood thirst and his conscience.
