About this audiobook



The greatest nightmare for the free world today would be a master terrorist hiding somewhere, controlling and coordinating radical Islamic groups at the highest level around the globe.

In DUPLICITY, the newest thriller from former Speaker of the House and bestselling author Newt Gingrich, such an invisible hand overseeing havoc worldwide plays a major role. Gingrich has teamed with former Washington Post reporter and bestselling author Pete Earley to create a highly plausible mix of domestic and global action in this ripped-from-the-headlines thriller.

And of course, it's set during an American presidential election.

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. Embassy station chief Gunter Conner and Marine captain Brooke Grant end up the unlikely survivors of this Benghazi-style attack. Suddenly, they are the only hope for saving their captured colleagues.

The firestorm of drama is compelling, set off by the intersection of Washington power and politics, a fragile third-world Islamic country, and Somali Americans here at home.

Only Newt Gingrich's unique in-depth knowledge of the political realities of friend and foe 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.

    Good, not great. I commend the writers for creating "House of Cards"-like political characters; those who are gray; those who are motivated by their needs and desires, but are also working for a better America. At the same time, none of these characters are as compelling as Frank Underwood which hurts the plot as you've no one to really cheer for.In Duplicity, the current president, Sally Allworth, needs to remind voters that Islamic terrorism is still real. This is due to her opponent, Tim Coldridge, who is running on an America First platform. Therefore, Allworth decides to pressure agencies to confirm that Mogadishu, Somalia is safe enough to establish an embassy. But the fledgling embassy is attacked and many hostages are taken, including the US ambassador. Meanwhile, a somewhat rogue CIA agent doesn't pass on important information about the upcoming attack on the embassy because he wants to draw out the lead terrorist, someone only he believes exists.Add to the mix a young Marine, who happens to be the niece of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who's been assigned to Mogadishu against her uncle's wishes, other Marines, SEALs, and a bevy of...well...duplicitous Somalians, and you've got a decent bit of tension built up.One pet peeve: I'm not sure why the writers were somewhat ambiguous about political parties. "House of Cards" did a brilliant job of being political, but not ideological, meaning agendas weren't being pushed from either side. The same could have been done here.I understand there's a sequel. I may look for it but it wouldn't be the end of the world if I don't read it.
