The world's greatest assassins are on a high-risk mission for the President--but a powerful mastermind wants them dead in this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller. The President knows it's a perilous, high-risk assignment. If he gives the order, he has the opportunity to take down a global menace, once and for all. If the mission fails, he would face certain impeachment, and the threats against the nation would multiply. So the president turns to the one team that can pull off the impossible: Will Robie and his partner, Jessica Reel. Together, Robie and Reel's talents as assassins are unmatched. But there are some in power who don't trust the pair. They doubt their willingness to follow orders. And they will do anything to see that the two assassins succeed, but that they do not survive. As they prepare for their mission, Reel faces a personal crisis that could well lead old enemies right to her doorstep, resurrecting the ghosts of her earlier life and bringing stark danger to all those close to her. And all the while, Robie and Reel are stalked by a new adversary: an unknown and unlikely assassin, a woman who has trained her entire life to kill, and who has her own list of targets--a list that includes Will Robie and Jessica Reel.
Regarding the review accusing Balldacci of including a lot of "filler'
Published by John A. , 8 months ago
What might seem to be "filler" to some readers is, to other readers, background and explanation that enhances the story and the reading experience. Personally, I have not noticed Baldacci using "filler."
Inside North Korea & Other Scary Places
Published by Randy Bowden , 5 years ago
A great look behind-the-scenes of what life is probably like in No. Korea. Very chilling. Mr. Baldacci's writing style is consistent with other books of his & definitely holds your attention. The first few chapters seem to be "all over the place" but you will soon discover how they are all woven together to make this a very good read.
