Publisher's summary

When the home of Alex Cross' oldest friend, Ellie Cox, is turned into the worst murder scene Alex has ever seen, the destruction leads him to believe that he's chasing a horrible new breed of killer. As Alex and his girlfriend, Brianna Stone, become entangled in the deadly Nigerian underworld of Washington DC, what they discover is shocking: a stunningly organized gang of lethal teenagers headed by a powerful, diabolical man - the African warlord known as the Tiger. Just when the detectives think they're closing in on the elusive murderer, the Tiger disappears into thin air. Tracking him to Africa, Alex knows that he must follow. Alone.

Super Alex? Seriously? Waiting for the Starship to land for a quick body make over, or wait, not necessary for super A

A bit unbelievable, I love this series normally and have suffered through readers who did not do justice to the stories, but this story was too much.
I had to make myself finish the book.
I hope this is not the way the series is going . . . I am going to try the next one, but it could be my last

My least favorite of the Cross series

I did not enjoy this book as much as the others in the Alex Cross series. The narration was good as usual, but I dud not enjoy the story as much as the others.

Getting back to Cross

Not up to early Alex but a good return to the Cross character and a story line that makes you want to get back to listening. A good ear read.

Seatbelts needed for this ride

This book takes you on a journey that is unbelievable! So many times I wondered how Alex was going to “get out of this one!” The action and suspense throughout are amazing. I couldn’t wait to get to the end and see how Alex would come out on top. Also I’m glad that Patterson addressed the horrors that were going on in Africa since the stories get very little press in America.

Worth the wait

This was one of the slowest starts to a Cross book, but the ending is worth it. Hang in there!

A lot of graphic violence

I read to escape some of the realities of life. Although I am aware of world events, I do not want to have a story based on the Atrocities occurring.

Too much.

Too much unsettling content for 1 book. Not having enough breaks from the horrible happening left me uncomfortable every time I paused.

Excellent story

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would highly recommend this book, it really makes you sad knowing that the things that happen in this book about Africa and refugee camp really does happen every day all over the world.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Non stop action from beginning to end. You think Alex is going to be killed about every single chapter.
