"A plot that moves at breakneck speed...Spy is a great beach read [that] will not disappoint." - Richmond Times-Dispatch"Think Tom Clancy and Robert Ludlum meet Stephen King...Spy is THE BOOK of the summer!" - Glenn Beck, CNN Headline Prime"Outstanding." - Lou Dobbs, CNNAbout the AuthorTed Bell is the former Vice-Chairman of the board and World-Wide Creative Director of Young Rubicam, one of the world's largest advertising agencies. He is the New York Times bestselling author of Hawke, Assassin, and Pirate.From AudioFileHere's an espionage novel that not only lends itself to audio, but also is topically current. In this fourth Alex Hawke thriller, reader John Shea turns in an energetic performance that befits the fast-paced action called for by the story. From country to southern Texas, Hawke, an MI6 officer on special assignment, with Ambrose Congreve, a brilliant Scotland Yard inspector, and Stokely Jones, Hawke's friend, confronts possible attacks by Al Qaeda AND a plausible scenario that pits Mexico against the U.S. in an immigration conflict. Shea's characters, whether Texan, Latino, or Brit, are highly credible and give this thriller a real international flavor. A.L.H.

The story lines are realistic and plausible. The author is a good writer, however, at times loses sight of the reason the reader is reading the book. We read about Hawke to enjoy the adventure and action, but at times, Mr. Bell spends way to much time describing the flora and fauna. Find myself just skipping several pages of the scenery to get back to the story. Will most likely read the rest of the series, but realizing that these books could probably be 100 pages shorter if all the extraneous descriptive scenery were discarded.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. I enjoyed this book and think it has very real possibilities ...By SaraI enjoyed this book and think it has very real possibilities of turning out to be close to prophetic. If Ted Bell can think of it, so can ISIS or Al Qaeda or any of the other radical terrorist groups. Kinda scary but I still couldn't put it down.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Solid bookBy Dropkick HugginsI gave this book four stars. I am a big fan of Ted Bell's Alexander Hawke novels. This book is another wonderful story. I enjoyed the plot, even if it seems a little bit far fetched. I however, did not mind this, as it is a fiction novel. I think this novel showed growth in the manner of developing characters beyond the core group that has appeared in this and past novels. I enjoyed the book and I think other fans of this genre will as well.
