Publisher's summary

"Matt, I need a war."

So begins David Baldacci's new book - a thriller unlike any he's written before. "Matt" is Mathew Pender, of Pender Associates - a shadowy organization that specializes in managing seemingly impossible situations for its clients. Sometimes, those services extend to managing - and creating - armed conflict.

When Matt Pender is asked by his client - the largest defense contractor in the world - to manipulate two nations against each other, a shocking and surprising series of events is set in motion that will possibly bring the world to the brink of World War III.

In this epic thriller with a global backdrop, David Baldacci delivers all the twists and turns, compelling characters, and can't-put-it-down pacing that listeners have come to expect from this master storyteller.

amazing and true to the title

it was captivating and has just enough low points to make the next high performance action scene to be just that much more

Great plot.

I really enjoyed the twists and turns of the plot. Unfortunately some of it felt kind of plausible - like this stuff could happen.

I could have done without the underlying music. Glad it wasn't there at the climax.

I liked the narrator but his voice differentiation for characters was minimally there

Balducci keeps coming up with incredible stories!

Another winner from Balducci! This book kept me clinging to the next chapter. I'd sit in my car until I could find a spot in the story to stop at and pull myself away to go into the store.
