Description

Special Agent Puller's brother is the country's most wanted criminal, but his conviction points to a cover-up--and a dangerous enemy bent on burying the truth in this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller.

It's a prison unlike any other. Military discipline rules. Its security systems are unmatched. None of its prisoners dream of escaping. They know it's impossible...until now.

John Puller's older brother, Robert, was convicted of treason. His inexplicable escape from prison makes him the most wanted criminal in the country. Some in the government believe that John Puller represents their best chance at capturing Robert alive, and so Puller must bring in his brother to face justice.

But Puller quickly discovers that his brother is pursued by others who don't want him to survive. Puller is in turn pushed into an uneasy, fraught partnership with another agent, who may have an agenda of her own.

They dig more deeply into the case together, and Puller finds that not only are her allegiances unclear, but there are troubling details about his brother's conviction...and someone out there doesn't want the truth to ever come to light. As the nationwide manhunt for Robert grows more urgent, Puller's masterful skills as an investigator and strengths as a fighter may not be enough to save his brother--or himself.

    Non stop action, twists, fun. Several story lines; sometimes too lengthy and sometimes convoluted explaining the various commands, branches, etc.

    Still a great series.

    Superb. I hope we don’t have that problem in our country. However, we have evil in high levels of our government. Sad.

    An excellent read with more twist and turns than a rollercoaster!!! Traitors in extremely high positions in the military and in government are plotting the total destruction of America. Ebola in an aerosol form to be released on people. No cure is available. A magnificent read!!! My highest recommendation!!

  • Annoying female lead

    Not as bad as the first book in this series but not as good as the second. Did not like the lead female, so not necessary to the story. Will read the last in the series but not looking forward to the lead lady again. It is like the author cannot write for a female. This book was also to long, boring in spots.

  • The Escape…escape from this read

    I really enjoy D. Baldacci’s books. I have read through almost every series. This book was frustrating. I could not get over my how annoying Knox’s character was throughout the whole book. Puller’s reactions and their back and forth was dumb and boring. And then she’s his person - like really?? Ugh! It makes me not want to read the next book, but I like to tie knots and finish series, so I will…but this was a big disappointment.

  • A well written spy/thriller

    The writing, plot development and it’s unfolding, all make this novel a true page turner.

    Another great six star page turner from this author. Very complex plots and intrigues, but well worth the read if you are patient enough to follow along.
