Great

Read in two days. Kept you on the edge from the first page. Hard to put down. Though a work of fiction, seems to fit todays political intrigue.

Couldn't put it down

I loved the story from the first page. If you want a political thriller that starts on page one and carries through until the end, this is it. Having read other reviews, I believe Mr. Weinberger's past employment may be tainting people's perceptions of the book. People are different in their political stance so they may not like the book based on 'principle' but I truly believe that if you want an exciting read, this will be it. Sadly, it will also be the only as Mr. Weinberger has passed.

A very good book

It's nice having the former Secretary of Defense write a book as you really get the accuracy of inside the government. I really liked this book and couldn't put it down. It's on the order of the Baldacci books.

See storylines above

Weinberger and Schweizer have put together a novel that is definitely fast and highly entertaining, with enough thrills to please most thriller fans. The only slight drawback was that the plot seemed just a little farfetched, though it was fun to read. Recommended for the thrills
