A review by ncrabb
The Last Refuge by Ben Coes
3.0
I suspect current events have overtaken some of the material in this book, but it’s a decent read just the same.
The Iranians have developed a nuclear weapon, and the country’s leaders plan to detonate it in Tel Aviv. In this book, Kohl Meir is the great-grandson of former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir. He’s in charge of the country’s elite military group, and he is in New York hoping to enlist the help of his friend, Dewey Andreas. (He saved Andreas’s life once.) Iranian operatives kidnap him in Brooklyn and take him to the most evil of Iran’s prisons where they plan to execute him.
But that’s before Dewey gets involved. This is a hair-raising suspense-filled book that places Dewey in a seemingly impossible position: How does he get into Iran? And more specifically, how does he get inside that prison to free his friend?
You can read this without reading the first two books in the series, but it may not be a bad idea to start with them if you like these kinds of books.
