Yeah... it was OK
30 January 2019
Even the great Baldacci suffers from glops of telling rather than showing. But I enjoyed it. I read it in bits; it wasn't as straight through as something like Security by Gina Wohlsdorf. The characters were individuals, the setting I could have care less about and the dialogue was clever. It's a good read but at the end of my read of it, I just picked up the next book.

one "gal" saves the world. first time i've ever felt this author has just gone too far. i had to finish the story of course and i did enjoy carol but maybe atlee's superhuman strength would have been better explained as the latest in robotics. surely she aint human.

I was so looking forward to his latest novel coming out - and then so disappointed when I got in to it. It just seemed to jump from something small in to a world crisis that only one woman could solve. Far from his best. Interesting heroine though so hopefully the next story works better.

It is hard to imagine that, an author can start his career with best selling books like Absolute Power, and drift into writing drivel like this. A ridiculous plot and poorly written. His descriptions of all the various trails in the Grand Canyon left one comatose. This book had a new lead character and I sincerely hope that there will not be a sequel.

It takes a special writer to create a credible character of the opposite sex. Unfortunately Mr Baldacci is not such a writer. The female lead character in this silly story would possibly appeal to adolescent boys but is simply not credible. A superman posing as a woman.

As always with a David Baldacci book, hard to put down and go to bed.Heros don't come much better, waiting for the next adventure.

It took me a few chapters to get into the book. Mainly because this time there is background that needed explaining. Enjoyed the new main place and the characters. I need to read the next book with these characters.

Not his best but also very gripping. Too much descriptive detail about the environment, even though it’s a fascinating part of America.
