For my first baladacci book it wasn't bad. It just took me forever to finish. Only finished it out of stubbornness and boredom at work.
Still might read the sequel because it was over interesting, just flat compared to what I'm used to. (Maybe direct is a better word)

A very good book, very fast paced with a great plot twist (which I figured out ;)). The main character was a bit annoying though he was a bit full of himself.

This was an entertaining read with likeable characters. It also somehow strikes a balance between respecting military service members and questioning the the motives and results of their mobilization.

My thoughts
David Baldacci is a go-to author for me, I know I will like his books. This book was a fast read for me and a good start to 2021.I liked how this came full circle, I felt like everything was explained at the end in a way that answered all my questions. I thought it was really well done, especially with all the storylines going on throughout.
I had a feeling about a certain character in the book that I ended up being right about in a way. I liked Will Robie as a character and I can not wait to read the rest books in this series.
Overall this book was really good, which I have found with all of Baldacci's books and it was a great start for 2021.

This was my first David Baldacci and book club book. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It wasn’t my typical choice of book but I’m glad I decided to join the local library adult book club and give it a chance.
