Catching up…

When this was dropped off as a donation to my Little Free Library Shed, I was reminded that I still hadn’t posted my review of it, even though I had read this a while ago.

So…

I am now bringing my review to Goodreads.

Baldacci isn’t afraid to create characters that we either like or not. What I believe he wants for his readers, is for us to get excited about what we are reading, and continue to turn pages at a fast pace so that we can find out what is going to happen next.

So…

How does it happen with this book?

Baldacci rewards readers with a suspenseful, brisk page-turning, international intrigue thriller.

And…

With this particular story, Baldacci is character-driven. We have at least 3 primary characters that are going to stand-out to readers…

1) Nicolas Creel, a multi-billionaire who runs a defense company, ARES Corporation.
2) Shaw. He works for an unnamed international intelligence agency that sends him on dangerous missions to help rid the world of evil.
3) Katie James. A Pulitzer Prize winning journalist holding a lot of guilt.

The anticipation for readers will be in finding out how these characters connect, and what is going to happen to them, once they do.
