David Baldacci is one of my favourite authors but this book was a bit disappointing. Rambling, messy plot development. But hand in there and you will find Baldacci entertains even when he is not his best.
Synopsis
Walter Nash began a journey down a dark path of seemingly no return, and now he finds himself questioning everything that got him there in this thrilling sequel to Nash Falls from #1 New York Times bestselling author David Baldacci.
Walter Nash, working under the alias of Dillon Hope, is on the road to revenge after becoming an informant for the FBI against a global criminal operation headed up by Victoria Steers. Steers has ripped everything Nash held dear away from him. He has nothing left to lose and with long, rigorous training under his belt the gentle and sensitive Nash has transformed into something he never thought he’d be: a physically imposing man with lethal skills. And now he has only goal left in life: taking down Victoria Steers.
In order to succeed, he’s going to need to cross enemy lines and work the job from the inside. But Steers is shrewd and only brings those with her complete trust into her inner circle. Nash must rely on every ounce of his hard-earned skills in order to prove himself an ally to Steers if he’s ever going to get close enough to decimate her criminal empire.
Yet, despite hating the woman for destroying his life, Nash finds himself oddly drawn to Steers in ways that he never could’ve imagined. And what he ultimately discovers will turn all he believed upside down, forcing Nash to do something truly unfathomable.
So, will the truth set Nash free?
Richard says
I did not enjoy this book as much as I expected. The story development was messy and chaotic making it difficult to follow. I quit the first time I started reading it but took a second grab at it as it was a Baldacci book.
The second attempt was better and as I plowed further into the book, it got better. The story line was very complicated, the plot also so. You really need determination and effort to get into this book but eventually it becomes engaging though not as much as his other books were.
There are many characters to keep track of. There are many scenes to remember, some even go back to a previous book.
In short, reading this book was a test of patience and maybe endurance too.
