3.5 good story telling, zero gratuitous anything (which is too easy to include), Jason Bourne-ish

Great Read. Sat down and read it in one setting and I don't do that very often. Good, fun romp.

As a fan of the Gabriel Allon series I was naturally drawn to this series of books, and I'm quite glad that I decided to start the series. David Baldacci has built a very intriguing and complex character in Will Robie, and certainly opens one's eyes to the reality of what a life as an assassin could encompass. Vigilance, precaution, premeditation, efficiency, paranoia - these are all traits Will Robie needs to function well and to survive! That being said, I found this book to be captivating, well paced, and thought-provoking to the end. If you enjoy this Genre, this book is highly recommended.

I love Baldacci's writing and managed to completely ignore the unlikelihood that the US employs professional assassins and that a Saudi prince believed dead can travel the world and spend thousands if not millions of dollars undetected. Will Robie appears in at least three more books and I'm sure I'll be reading them all...

Book 1 in the Will Robie series. Great story. Had me turning pages but I have to say, I was pretty sure of the bad guy fairly early on. Still, it was a fun story and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Can't wait to read the next one.

This is the first book I read from David Baldacci, but it will not be the last. I have purchased four of his books since reading this one. It was action packed and kept my attention.

Started off very slow, almost gave up. Last 100 pages are so were really good.
