DESCRIPTION:
Curtis E. Renshaw said excellent. fast pace. great story. Loved every minute of this. Perfectly timed ending. Villains who know exactly what they want, but not megalomaniacal take-over-the world types. That's why this is clean police work and not a James Bond story. Grandiose, yes, but entirely plausible. Cross and double cross. Short and fast, it will keep your attention start to finish.. Not his best effort Being a long-time fan of James Patterson and specifically his Bennet character I was really disappointed this time. A major part of the charm of this series is the family background story. Sadly that featured hardly at all in this story.The "baddies" were too vague to be believable and the ending too abrupt. I felt it needed more of a build up and better characterisation to really have ten. "An Electrifying Thriller" according to Vivienne Diane Neal. Again, James Patterson never fails when it comes to writing page-turning, explosive crime stories. The backdrop is New York City, where several attacks, blackouts, and the assassination of an official have left the city in disarray. From start to finish, the reader is taken on a roller coaster ride, weaving historical events with the present, and where nothing is what it appears to be. The
New Yorkers aren't easily intimidated, but someone is doing their best to scare them, badly: why? After two inexplicable high-tech attacks, the city that never sleeps is on edge. Soon he's racing against the clock, and against the most destructive enemy he's faced yet, to save his beloved city--before everyone's worst nightmare becomes a reality. "This is not a test"--every New Yorker's worst nightmare is about to become a reality. In the wake of a shocking assassination, Bennett begins to suspect that these mysterious events are just the prelude to the biggest threat of all. . Detective Michael Bennett, along with his old pal, the FBI's Emily Parker, have to catch the shadowy criminals who claim responsibility--but they're as good at concealing their identities as they are at wreaking havoc
