Publisher's summary

In broad desert daylight, a mysterious platoon of soldiers evacuates the entire population of Sunrise Valley, Nevada. Minutes later, a huge bomb detonates a hundred feet above the ground and lays waste to homes, cars, and playgrounds: a town annihilated in an instant.

Alex Cross is on vacation in San Francisco with his girlfriend, Jamilla Hughes, when he gets the call. The Russian supercriminal known as the Wolf claims responsibility for the blast.

Major cities around the globe are threatened with total destruction. The Wolf has proven he can do it; the only question is, can anyone stop him in time? Surveillance film of the blast reveals the presence of another of Alex Cross' most dangerous enemies, the ruthless assassin known as the Weasel.

World leaders have just four days to prevent an unimaginable cataclysm. Joining forces with Scotland Yard and Interpol, Alex fights his way through a torrent of false leads, impersonators, and foreign agents before he gets close to the heart of the crimes. Racing down the hairpin turns of the Riviera in the most unforgettable finale James Patterson has ever written, Alex Cross confronts the truth of the Wolf's identity, a revelation that even Cross himself may be unable to survive.

Annoying sound effects

The sound effects between every single chapter are annoying, useless and ridiculous. Such time wasters.

Not an intimate supenseful story

I enjoyed a lot of this book. I liked the narrators but not the sound effects which intruded on the tension of the story rather than heighten it. Most of all I just didn’t enjoy the large topic, a threat on world peace taking place across continents involving numerous law enforcement agencies and multiple characters. Just give me a local murder and a case being unraveled and solved.

Great book!

What a thriller! Start to finish. Easy to follow although lots of names to remember! Even if you don’t, Mr Patterson does a good job for you by way of thinking through Alex’s thought process with him. Highly recommend!

Entertaining good continuation from last book.

Excellent continuation from last book. The author is able continue the investigation for the criminal in one of last book, without missing the opportunity to introduce the reader to the detective and his world.

Another Great Listen

Although Andre Blake is my favorite narrator for Alex, Peter Fernandez does a great job as well. Another great story line full of suspense and drama. I also love the way the series weaves in Alex’s personal life. The drama with Christine, L’le Alex, Jam, Dr. Kayla, NannaMomma, Jani, Damon, and Sampson is so very interesting. I find myself looking forward to those stories as well. It’s such a pleasant, just in time, break from all the chaos! I actually like the music, it helps with the suspense. Almost like watching a show on TV. In fact, reading the series consecutively is like watching a TV series. I love it. I took breaks the first time I read the series and read several other kinds of books between the Alex Cross series. Now I’m reading straight through and I’m enjoying it tremendously!

I love the book & narrator but hate the weird echoey voice before each chapter

The book is intense and captures your imagination & attention…NEVER disappoints!! The weird voice and ticking sounds before each chapter is annoying to say the least. It breaks up the intensity of the drama and is distracting. If it is like this in the other books, I won’t be listening.

What a ride!!!

Alex Cross is in fine form with his worldwide search for Wolf. It is a fun and suspenseful cat and mouse chase. The sound effects on the CD are awesome. I love the readers and accents. I do however miss his interaction with his partner from before he became a FBI agent. A very good listen overall - you should listen to Big Bad Wolf however before listening to this one.
