"Skip it unless ...."
Unless you're a Baldacci fan, skip this one. The story is predictable, the characters right off the shelf of action stories. Not much original. Read a David Baldacci that I liked a long time ago. Tried him again and swore off. Then I made the mistake of looking at the four star rating while looking for a page turner. Very disappointed. Looking for action? Try Lee Child's stuff.
Turned me off from David Baldacci.
McLarty was good. The story had to rely on sound effects to enhance it. Didn't help, though.
Disappointment.
"Satisfying till the end"
This was a real page-turner; it never let up. The hero is believable within the genre of action thrillers and the plot stays on the credible side of reality. Really liked this one. Will look at others by Vince Flynn. Top-notch narration, too.
