My old buddy Howard Gordon (of “24″ and “Homeland” fame) and I talk over the business of writing thrillers with CNN’s Security Clearance blog.

My Slate interview about the novels!

Slate’s June Thomas just interviewed me about how I use real on-the-ground reporting to help bring John Wells and his world to life. I thought the questions were excellent — hope you enjoy the conversation!

Great review of The Shadow Patrol

The Newark Star-Ledger gives TSP a short but excellent review in its Sun., Feb. 26, edition: “The Shadow Patrol paints conditions in Afghanistan more vividly than any news report. Dry winds and the grit of the landscape blow through every page…” Thanks!

Great reviews for The Shadow Patrol!

This just in: The Shadow Patrol is four for four in prepublication reviews!

Booklist called the novel “vivid” and “searing,” Publishers Weekly said it was “compelling” and “riveting,” and Kirkus said “the prose is airtight” and the action “phenomenal.” And just last week, Library Journal added its own endorsement:

“This thriller pours on the blood and guts but also traces the enigmas faced by men in a war zone. Berenson’s special gift is to crank up the suspense until the armchair spy hollers for relief—and the next Wells installment.”

Alan Cheuse, NPR’s book review, calls TSS and the entire series “terrific” in this excerpt from All Things Considered. Includes my reading of a short passage from the novel. Thanks Alan!

Great review of TSS in Britain’s Daily Mail

alex — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 14:42:13 +0000

“Written in a spare, taut style and with a real grasp of contemporary geopolitics it’s one of those thrillers that might be true…”
