Awful, don't waste your money

I was surprised to see so many people claim Baldacci has "leftist" views. To me it sounded like a rehashing of right wing demagoguery but whatever.

Not his best but entertaining

I don't think this is his best work because he did get away from the plot and tended to get preachy. The book started off very slow for me but picked up about a fourth of the way through. He stretched some of the plot twists a little far, but for the most part it kept me entertained.

Justification for terrorists

Baldacci, rather than just tell a good story, has his characters repeat and repeat the left-wing reasons why the terrorists are justified in hating and attacking the United States. Portions of this book must have been writen by George Soros or Alec Baldwin.
