Audacious, tenacious, dramatic and tense, Dempsey has everything readers could ever want in a military/spy thriller. Andrews & Wilson demonstrate once again why they are the best tandem writing team in the business, crafting a timely, action-packed and anxiety-inducing novel that tests the hero in incredible ways.
John Dempsey is performing a deep cover operation in the heart of Russia that will take him from a notorious prison to the Bolshoi theatre and require him to collaborate with his most hated enemy to pull off a brazen mission. Meanwhile his Ember teammates believe Dempsey is dead and are mourning the loss of their leader while still being tasked with critical operations. The latest of which is to hunt down a suspected Zeta member, which turns into much more than initially expected. Both Dempsey and his Ember team are unaware of what the other is up to, but their interests will eventually converge and culminate in either a world changing action or the beginning of World War III.
This novel shows Dempsey in a way that we’ve never seen before and severely tests the old adage “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” Dempsey commits to going through hell to properly set up this mission that only the US Vice President knows about, meaning he’s without a safety net and must rely on his wits and training to pull this off in enemy territory. And then when he’s got all the proper individuals lined up to support this ridiculous and potentially suicidal operation, he then must trust and rely on the head of the Zetas organization – his sworn enemy who’s killed fellow Ember operators – to be his ally and co-conspirator. All of which tests Dempsey’s limits for suffering, operating, and willingness to do everything and anything necessary to prevail in his assignment. As a result, Dempsey puts everything on the line for the greater good with less support than he’s ever had and no guarantees of a positive result. He will either triumph or perish based on his abilities alone. But if he is successful, he will become larger than life and secure a more peaceful world for those who inhabit it.
Andrews & Wilson keep churning out winner after winner and Dempsey is no exception. It’s a fantastic edition to their Tier One universe and one that ties up a major storyline while setting up the series for a bright future.
