About this ebook
With time running out to stop the nuclear destruction of Tel Aviv, Dewey Andreas must defeat his most fearsome opponent yet.
Off a quiet street in Brooklyn, New York, Israeli Special Forces commander Kohl Meir is captured by operatives of the Iranian secret service, who smuggle Meir back to Iran, where he is imprisoned, tortured, and prepared for a show trial.
What they don't know is that Meir was in New York to recruit Dewey Andreas for a secret operation. Meir had been tipped off that Iran had finally succeeded in building their first nuclear weapon, one they were planning to use to attack Israel. His source was a high-level Iranian government official and his proof was a photo of the bomb itself.
Dewey Andreas, a former Army Ranger and Delta, owes his life to Meir and his team of Israeli commandos. Now, to repay his debt, Dewey has to attempt the impossible ---to both rescue Meir from one of the world's most secure prisons and to find and eliminate Iran's nuclear bomb before it's deployed---all without the help or sanction of Israel or America (at the near certain risk of detection by Iran).
Unfortunately, Dewey's first moves have caught the attention of Abu Paria, the brutal and brilliant head of VEVAK, the Iranian secret service. Now Dewey has to face off against, outwit, and outfight an opponent with equal cunning, skill, and determination, with the fate of millions hanging in the balance.

Didn't think since I'm an older female that I'd like this book, but it was thrilling from start to finish. I hatred for it to end and was happy to find a couple more Dewey books out there. You won't be disappointed

I became a big Ben Coes fan after reading his first two novels and I was really looking forward to The Last Refuge. The wait was definitely worth it as Mr. Coes delivers again! Dewey is the man! :-)

I started reading the series 4 days ago and thought the book and characters were right up there with Vince Flynn. I was happy to see that the Last Refuge was being released 7/3. Unfortunately, I read the book in 2 days. Now I will need to wait months for the next book.
