"Dick, I need a war."

Shaw, a man with no first name and a truly unique past, has a different agenda. Reluctantly doing the bidding of a secret multi-national intelligence agency, he travels the globe to keep it safe and at peace.
Desperate to get back to the top of her profession, Katie James gets the break of a lifetime: the chance to interview the sole survivor of a massacre that has left every nation stunned.
In David Baldacci's first international thriller, these characters face a catastrophic threat that could change the world as we know it.
Reviews
Lack of knowledge in certain areas
4By mitch7340David has good story lines. However should do more research on fire arms. It’s obvious there is a lack of knowledge on how things work. For example. Hollow point bullets are not supposed to tumble. They open up like a parachute to minimize over penetration. This is common knowledge.. Terrible off my get-

5By CajunNewsGirlAll his spy books are the best reads!!!!!! I have not read one I did not like of DB.. I have read all of them now and can't wait for the new one in 2013!!!! This book was awesome!!! David Baldacchi is an incredible spy thriller writer.. . Lots of research done and not a lot of fill in with over-descriptions, like so many other writers.... You can't put it down!!! It grabs you right from the start...Plot not bad, but a bit cliched
3By EngkzlThe concept of the book is interesting, and the plot moves pretty well, but it and the characters are like something out of a made for tv movie: overly-predictable and a bit stilted. Not nearly as unique and good as his camel club novels.Great book!
