Loved the book and the characters

Loved the story, I saw a comment here on Scott Brick (negative comment), and I respect your opinion, but I must strongly disagree. I thought he did an excellent job, especially at the end. I have always loved his narration. I strongly recommend this book!

Least Favorite!

I love most of the books by David Baldacci, however, this is not one of my favorites. Parts of the novel had me on the edge of my seat, and another part of it, I just wanted him to finish the story! It dragged on and on, at times. I was glad when it was finally over. All this being said, this was his first novel. He definitely improved over time with his other novels. Mr. Baldacci is one of my favorite authors. And Scott Brick, he is one of the best narrators; he performed wonderfully in this novel!

The greed of people who have to answer to ones rules, the weak, who submit to others wills. The innocent dreamers ....

I waited patiently through the first half of the book as the brave but scared actors played and lost, their lives, by the immoral and corrupt ruined their lives, waiting to see who of them would have the backbone to stand up and say enough is enough. And through great satisfaction, I watched them strengthen their resolve to right the many wrongs which had been done to them. Lots of twists and turns in the book .

Still relevant

I very much enjoyed this book. The only thing that dated it was the technology used by the characters, but that could be easily updated.
