Duplicity

A Novel

By: Newt Gingrich, Pete Earley

Narrated by: Robert Fass

In "one of the best" political thrillers from two Washington insiders (Nelson DeMille, NYT bestselling author), America's leaders must hunt down a master terrorist in hiding and neutralize the threat of political betrayal.

The greatest nightmare for the free world today would be an extremist in hiding, controlling and coordinating radical Islamic groups at the highest level around the globe.

In Duplicity, two bestselling authors -- former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and Pulitzer Prize finalist Pete Earley -- weave a grim and gripping tale of this worst case scenario. From home front fears to an international crisis, this thriller is terrifyingly plausible, ripped straight from the headlines.

When President Sally Allworth decides to reestablish America's Mogadishu embassy in Somalia weeks before Election Day, her challenger says she is playing politics with American lives. That turns out to be true when the embassy is attacked and hostages are taken. Station chief Gunter Conner and Marine captain Brooke Grant end up the unlikely survivors of this Benghazi-style strike. And suddenly, they are the only hope for saving their captured colleagues.

With his in-depth political knowledge of friends and foes on the political stage, only Newt Gingrich could weave such a spellbinding tale of events and personalities, one that could actually happen . . . if America's leaders aren't wary of a world full of duplicity.

Critic reviews

A thrilling tale of America's darkest day.—W.E.B. Griffin on Pearl Harbor

[Gettysburg] is believable and beautifully written...every bit as good as Michael Sharra's The Killer Angels. Not only do Gingrich and Forstchen bring the characters to life, and often horrible death, but they do so with memorable observations on the ways of war and vivid, technically accurate descriptions of frightful Civil War combat.—The Courier Journal, on Gettysburg

Grim, gritty, realistic, accurate, and splendid, this is a soaring epic of triumph over almost unimaginable odds.—Library Journal on To Try Men's Souls

The authors' research is impeccable...the reader is left believing it could really have happened this way.—Booklist on Never Call Retreat

An exciting alternative history of the Civil War. Character depictions are vivid, detailed, and insightful. One of the best novels of the Civil War to appear in recent years.—Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) on Grant Comes East

Hard to put down

This book was harder to put down than a Michael Crichton novel. I thought at first that a political novel might be a little sleepy and boring but not this one. There was great action from the first chapter and stayed that way through the entire book. Also this isn't a book that tries to sell Republican ideas but seemed to focus on a more serious problem that our country is facing. This is a must read for every American regardless of your political stance.

A case of bad reader butchering a story.

The feeble reader destroyed the carefully structured characters. It was painful to listen to his failed attempts at vocalising different characters while missing the point.

Wonderful, Realistic, "Fiction" 😋

Loved it!! Thank you, Mr. Speaker, for a look at the bazaar political life inside the beltway.

Good storyline. Interesting read.

Characters were developed and interesting. Storyline flowed and allowed suspense. Narration was clear and easy to listen to.
