Book of the Week: Alex Berenson's "The Ghost War"

I didn't read Alex Berenson's The Faithful Spy, which won the Edgar Award for Best First Novel last year, but I wish I had. The Ghost War, that book's sequel, has just been released and it's one of the best spy thrillers I've read in a long time. CIA agent John Wells is a fine character, and The Ghost War leads him on a series of thrilling adventures, stretching from DC to Afghanistan to Beijing. Readers who like Barry Eisler or David Ignatius, in particular, should pick this one up right away.
