Good read
His books always flow. The narrators are good. The only problem I had. This was on cassettes, and I usually order CDs. This may have been MY fault when ordering and not paying attention; however, the fact that the reverse side of 1 (which would be 2) is so screwed up, I could not listen. Am struggling through the others, as sometimes there is a "bleed" from other side.

One of his best
If you haven't read David Baldacci, and enjoy crime, action, politics, and power, with some romance mixed in --you will enjoy. I like all of David Baldacci's novels and have read most of them - This one I would rate as one of his best, although I haven't read anything by him that I didn't want to continue reading until it was finished.
