Publisher's summary

Police officers shot

Detective Michael Bennett arrests an infamous Mexican crime lord in a deadly chase that leaves Bennett's lifelong friend, Hughie McDonough, dead. From jail, the prisoner vows to rain epic violence down upon New York City - and to get revenge on Michael Bennett.

Judges murdered

To escape the chaos, Bennett takes his 10 kids and their beautiful nanny, Mary Catherine, on a much-needed vacation to his family's cabin near Newburgh, New York. But instead of the calm and happy town he remembers from growing up, they step into a nightmare worse than they could have ever imagined. Newburgh is an inferno of warring gangs, and there's little the police - or Bennett - can do to keep the children safe.

Target: Michael Bennett

As violence overwhelms the state, Bennett is torn between protecting his hometown and saving New York City. A partner in his investigations, federal prosecutor Tara McLellan brings him new weapons for the battle - and an attraction that endangers his relationship with Mary Catherine.

A no-holds-barred, pedal-to-the-floor, action-packed novel, Michael Bennett is James Patterson at his most personal and most thrilling best.

All these bad reviews are bogus.

Would you listen to I, Michael Bennett again? Why?

I love all of the James Patterson series. Somehow I've ended up listening to these out of order somewhat, but I love all of them. They always keep me interested.

Any additional comments?

People keep commenting that the ending is bad, because it doesn't end. But it is continued in the next book. The movement of the story keeps going and there is just way too much story in this to be contained in one book.

I Michael Bennett

I like a cliffhanger as much as anyone, but this book just stops abruptly.

Bad ending

Would you listen to I, Michael Bennett again? Why?

Narration was much better on this one than on "Burn". The pitch of the voices makes the story. However, the ending left too many unanswered questions.
