Power Down
Introducing a major new thriller writer―in the vein of Vince Flynn and Brad Thor―and an electrifying character, Dewey Andreas
A major North American hydroelectric dam is blown up and the largest off-shore oil field in this hemisphere is destroyed in a brutal, coordinated terrorist attack. But there was one factor that the terrorists didn't take into account when they struck the Capitana platform off the coast of Colombia―slaughtering much of the crew and blowing up the platform―and that was the Capitana crew chief Dewey Andreas. Dewey, former Army Ranger and Delta, survives the attack, rescuing as many of his men as possible. But the battle has just begun.
While the intelligence and law enforcement agencies scramble to untangle these events and find the people responsible, the mysterious figure of Alexander Fortuna―an agent embedded into the highest levels of American society and business―sets into play the second stage of these long-planned attacks. The only fly in the ointment is Dewey Andreas―who is using all his long-dormant skills to fight his way off the platform, then out of Colombia and back to the U.S., following the trail of terrorists and operatives sent to stop him. Power Down is a gripping, compelling debut thriller from a powerful new author, an amazing talent certain to join the ranks of the genre's finest writers.

Ben Coes
Ben Coes grew up in West Simsbury, Connecticut, with a curiosity for both the mechanics of power and the pulse of the world beyond his hometown. That curiosity carried him to Columbia College in New York City, where he honed his storytelling, earning the Bennett Cerf Memorial Prize for Fiction. Yet Coes’ path to the page was far from linear. Early roles as a White House intern and a speechwriter for the U.S. Secretary of Energy during the Gulf War offered him an insider’s perspective on political strategy and the shadowed corners of international affairs, experiences that would later shape the tension and authenticity of his novels.
