About this listen
John Wells barely survived his homecoming when it was thought he’d become too close to the terrorists. Though his wounds have healed, his mind is far from clear. He needs to get back in the fight. And there is a fight waiting for him.
A power play in China is causing chaos around the globe. And even as Wells does what he does best, a mole within the CIA is preparing to light the final fuse that will propel an unsuspecting world toward open war and annihilation. And this time, there may be nothing John Wells can do to stop it...©2008 Alex Berenson; (P)2008 Penguin
Critic reviews
Praise for The Ghost War
“A very sophisticated vision...Geopolitically savvy.”—The New York Times
“A fast-paced story of international intrigue and espionage...Wells is a fine character who will likely propel Berenson’s thrillers to success for some time to come.”—Chicago Sun-Times
“Terrific and relentless suspense and action.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Berenson marshals turncoats, the Taliban, and testosterone to produce a tautly paced, credible, and gripping scenario guaranteed to buttress Berenson's niche as one of the stars in the suspense firmament.”—Library Journal
“The author’s plausible scenario distinguishes this from most spy thrillers.”—Publisher’s Weekly

I don't think it is realistic but it kept me engaged from the start.
It is the second book in the series and it is useful to have read the previous book but not entirely necessary.
Good action story
