Publisher's summary

A crime lord has declared war on America. Only Detective Michael Bennett knows why.

Manuel Perrine doesn't fear anyone or anything. A charismatic and ruthless leader, Perrine slaughters rivals as effortlessly as he wears his trademark white linen suit. Detective Michael Bennett once managed to put Perrine behind bars, the only official in the US ever to accomplish that. But now Perrine is out, and he has sworn to find and kill Bennett and everyone dear to him.

Detective Bennett, along with his 10 adopted children, their nanny, and his grandfather, are hidden safely on a rural California farm, with guards courtesy of the FBI's witness protection program. Perrine begins to embark on an escalating series of assassinations across the country, killings whose brazenness and audacity bring into question the possibility of safety and law in the U.S. The FBI has no choice but to ask Detective Bennett to risk it all in Perrine's war on America.

With explosive action and fierce villainy that rivals James Bond movies at their best, Gone is the next astounding novel by James Patterson.

Always great

Not a fan of the background music but the book is too good for it to matter too much.

FANTASTIC!

Would you consider the audio edition of Gone to be better than the print version?

James Patterson didn't disappoint!

What other book might you compare Gone to and why?

This entire series is GREAT!

What about Danny Mastrogiorgio and Henry Leyva ’s performance did you like?

Danny Mastrogiorgio and Henry Leyva's performances were FANTASTIC however I missed Bobby Cannavale. His voice is synonymous with Michael Bennett to me.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I wanted to listen to the entire thing in one sitting!

special effects?

really like the tone of the voices, but could not for the life of me figure out why I was listening to special effects on audio. not necessary, not a movie.

Did not Disappoint

Any additional comments?

The last book left us hanging and I was a little concerned that Michael Bennett was truly gone. But here he is finishing up the saga of Perrine. More gore than I like - can people be this barbaric? Some tense moments, but Michael keeps his charm. Enjoyed and glad we were not left hanging until the next book is published.

Ugh...My Pet Peeve!

What would have made Gone better?

Changing narrators on the 5th book of a series is the worst! Changes the whole dynamic of the book and characters. I'm sure Danny Mastrogiogio is a great narrator, but he's not Michael Bennett.

Would you ever listen to anything by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge again?

Not sure...

How could the performance have been better?

Yes!
