The Faithful Spy is one of the best books I have read in a long time. This is Alex Berenson’s first novel and the first of his works I have read. For it being the author’s first effort it is an amazing accomplishment. His mastery of storytelling concepts is stronger than that many of today’s bestselling authors.
From the opening sequences this novel was a couldn’t put it down rollercoaster ride. The in-depth detail and the breathtaking realism of some of the scenes were so well done I felt like I was actually there. The book is amazingly well researched. Some details are so precise I can’t imagine how the author knew them. I would’ve of thought he made the stuff up if I hadn’t received formal training in some of these subjects. His knowledge of the military and wartime Afghanistan and Iraq is also first class. I was so impressed, that I found myself deeply disappointed when he has some guy in a scene put on a shirt with handcuffs on. (Berenson buddy, come on. Not possible. At all.) Great book though. Buy it, open it, devour it.
