Walter Nash began a journey down a dark path of seemingly no return, and now he finds himself questioning everything that got him there in this thrilling sequel to Nash Falls from #1 New York Times bestselling author David Baldacci.

Walter Nash, working under the alias of Dillon Hope, is on the road to revenge after becoming an informant for the FBI against a global criminal operation headed up by Victoria Steers. Steers has ripped everything Nash held dear away from him. He has nothing left to lose and with long, rigorous training under his belt the gentle and sensitive Nash has transformed into something he never thought he’d be: a physically imposing man with lethal skills. And now he has only goal left in life: taking down Victoria Steers.

In order to succeed, he’s going to need to cross enemy lines and work the job from the inside. But Steers is shrewd and only brings those she trusts completely into her inner circle. Nash must rely on every ounce of his hard-earned skills in order to prove himself an ally to Steers if he’s ever going to get close enough to decimate her criminal empire.

Yet, despite hating the woman for destroying his life, Nash finds himself oddly drawn to Steers in ways that he never could’ve imagined. And what he ultimately discovers will turn all he believed upside down, forcing Nash to do something truly unfathomable.

So, will the truth set Nash free?

Or end him?

The reading of the book, is very great.

The story moved along. I could not put it down. It kept me interested. I enjoyed it.

Maybe my least favorite Baldacci boom

I have read, listened to, or some combination of both for every one of his books. After I wrote the title, I realized he had a fantasy book that I actually returned. This one took me longer to get through than any of his other books. With the fantasy book, once I realized what it was, I simply returned it.
This book was good in that it continued the story from before and provided enough reminders to help piece everything together. I read so many books that it’s sometimes hard to remember what happened in the previous installment of a series, but this one did a solid job of refreshing those details.
That said, it was not one of my favorite books by him. I believe there is supposed to be a third one, and I’m not particularly interested in it. I’ll probably give it a shot, but I won’t be getting it or reading it as soon as it’s released.

Well was waiting for

Excellent book from beginning to end
By far, one of David Baldacci best you won’t be disappointed

Lots of twists and turns!

Riveting enough that I listened to books 1 and 2 in 2-1/2 days! Hated to see it end and very can’t wait for book 3. There will be a book 3…right??! Nobody does it better than David Baldacci.

Travel in the East is dangerous

Like the continuation of W Nash’s development of himself (Hope)and of real friends. Unfortunately his wife and daughter were entitled heifers who really didn’t love him but they did care for him. Storyline completely too long. Could be edited and serve as the beginning of the next installment of the series 😉
