review 1: What can I say more than WOW! David Baldacci does it again with this other great story with King & Maxwell! I use the audio-book version and it was superbly well done with sounds effects and all!! Now I am real anxious and it will be real hard to wait for the next one and I really hope they will go next level in their relationship! The plot and characters were incredibly well think and used and I really like the use of Edgar... Thanks so much to the author for sharing his superb talent with us!
review 2: This is the latest book by Baldacci in the series with the main characters, Sean King and Michelle Maxwell. I love the characters and course, David Baldacci's books. This book starts out strangely. They are driving in a rainstorm and they see a teenage boy r... moreunning across the road with a gun. Michelle gets out of the car and chases him down. Sean meets up with the two of them. They find out that the boy is running away and is upset because the Army has just notified his stepmother and he that his father has been killed in Afghanistan. As a reader, I'm was very perplexed as to why Michelle would not just let this boy go. Even Sean kept reminding her that this was not a case. He asked her to let it go. Michelle doesn't and Sean backs her. It turns out the boy, named Tyler, was emailed with a coded message from his father that he was still alive after the Army had told him he was dead. The father, named Sam, was on a mission in Afghanistan to transport over €1 billion by himself to freedom fighters. When he arrived at the destination, all the freedom fighters were dead and he was met at gunpoint by several American men with CIA credentials. They told him his mission had changed. He held them off, took one of their trucks and was able to flee the scene. However now the government thinks he stole the money and is on the run. Sean and Michelle get in deep while constantly trying to stay away from the FBI, CIA, Pentagon, White House, other intelligence agencies; all the while keeping Tyler safe. The plot, like a lot of these books with Sean King and Michelle Maxwell are totally unrealistic. They are fun to read and entertaining. If that is the readers' goal, this book will live up to it. less

I read the first in this series and saw a recommendation for this, the sixth, so I figured it would make a change. If you're going to be sick and bored (and I have been since the 14th) there's nothing like a Baldacci to take you out of yourself. The action swoops along, accompanied by gunfire, explosions, kidnappings, and heart stopping tension. Well, it would stop your heart if things slowed down long enough. I like the characters but I really wonder about the way Baldacci deals with the military and the intelligence agencies. I don't imagine there are many of us naive enough to imagine that it is pure patriotism alone that motivates the members of those organisations but the way he has them always trampling on the rights of American citizens is perhaps (I hope)somewhat over the top. Someone was actually counting the killed and maimed in this book and we saw the results of some of the action when fire and police had to deal with the destruction.

The characters have excellent development and interaction across a longer time line than just this novel. With both likable and negative traits. You can identify with the lead characters inner worlds, and how they deal with the tension between themselves and the secondary characters in the story world.Humor seriousness and mystery compete for primacy, but the lead characters personalities drives the story.

This was a good read. Also an interesting surprise ending.
