April 5th, 2015 – Book: ‘Coup D’Etat’ by Ben Coes
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Apr.05, 2015, under Books
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The second in the Dewey Andreas series is more the standard of the Super Soldier genre. A big difference is the immense amount of detail covered throughout the book. Obviously Coes or others are checking everything from the outback of Australia to the out back of India. Don’t know about the accuracy, but it sounds good.
The story is vast and covers a lot of territory. As with so many contemporary over sized novels I’ve read, this book could have been three…or even four books.
Though the book is long and could use some editing, the writing is far tighter in Coes book, as I recall it to be in the first in series, ‘Power Down’.
The characters are extremely well developed. Good guys, bad guys and others.
Bottom line: I recommend this book. 8 out of 10 points.
