If you are looking for action you will find it in this book. The way it is written it could be a movie script. The only thing I found objectionable are the sound effects and back ground music. The Duo of McLarty and Cassidy work well together but that does take a bit of getting used to. For me this was classic Baldacci and held my attention even if some of the dialog betweeen the One Star and John was a big corney at times. An enjoyable read.

This story about AJohn Puller is the best in the series so far. i find the author's story almost impossible to put down. This particular story broken into small chapters have you wishing for the next chapter to start before you are finished listening to the current one.
David Baldacci is a terrific writer but he has outdone himself with this one! only took less than a week to complete this book. thanks for a wonderful story.

No

yes

His female dialogues are very awkward and Cassidy's rendition makes them sound so inane and trite.

Yes, when Mecco won the contest for Lampert's soul & body. Overall, it was his vindication and performance that made the book work for me.

Books like this really suffer when the protagonists are faced with too many crises and harrowing situations. Getting them out alive gets more difficult and un believeable as the book goes on.The transition from having the slaves in the warehouse to having them back on the platform in the Gulf was virtually instantaneous and done in too few hours compared to the pages of description used to get them ashore in small boats in the first place. There were too many shortcuts like this.

I have very much enjoyed a fair number of his books, but this one didn't make it.

No idea, I didn't read the book.

This book was great. I love the John Puller character. Great book with lots of twists and mini climaxes. Definitely recommend, but listen to Zero Day first (another great book).

Everything.

I ended up staying up until 0300 hours because I couldn't put the book down.

Great book and great series.

It's on the better end, solid story, interesting characters and an inventive plot.

The main character was interesting, I would look for more in the series.

The voices were great, characters were differentiated well and none of the accents or dialects were over exaggerated.

The whole book was pretty well paced and interesting.

I would read/listen to more in the series.

The characters were certainly not forgettable

It told that old story that good does win over evil,

They brought the story to life.

both!

Not on purpose

It's popular so I thought it'd be better

He was ok but she sounded like an answering machine recording

Anything with the main character in them

The background music was distracting and the dialog was juvenile. The storyline was very predictable and you didn't care about the characters at all. Listened to the whole book hoping that we would be surprised but we were just happy to be done with it.

very good read

It wasn't predictable

They are easy to listen to. They are two of my favorite readers.

no

Yes, it flows easily.

None

Ron has the right voice to make character sound real. I like having a female voice for the female characters.

Look beneath paradise for what you don't want to know.

The story was fine. The characters come to life, however I do not think all the killing was necessary to make the book interesting. A bit of an overdose on macho.

Intriguing , suspenseful , mystery

None

I like them together in this book

No

John puller is my hero and there should be more books with him , he's smart , tough and would make anyone feel safe
