Publisher Description
From the bestselling author of The President Is Missing, an undercover CIA officer has seven days to save her country—and her family—from the world’s most dangerous double-agent.
Agent Amy Cornwall excels at working from the shadows—until a botched field operation reveals dark dealings between her bosses and an informant. And a hidden plot by a terrorist genius that could kill thousands of Americans. Among them: her husband and daughter.
She has to go dark. The Division wants to erase her. And they know every detail about her identity, her history, and her family.
Agent Cornwall’s countdown has begun.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
The clock is ticking as America faces an unspeakable threat in this exhilarating military thriller from Brendan DuBois and James Patterson. While working for the CIA in Lebanon, Agent Amy Cornwall saves an agent from beheading at the hands of extremists. But after the daring rescue, she’s tipped off to a nefarious plot threatening thousands of New Yorkers—including her own daughter and husband. Patterson and DuBois’ cinematic prose pulled us all the way in to their roller-coaster plot, and veteran narrator Ellen Archer gracefully delivers a variety of worldly accents, pouring herself into the roles of a stiff-upper-lip British MI6 serviceman, sophisticated Middle Eastern jihadists, and the book’s brave American heroine. We couldn’t take our earbuds out until we found out what became of the Big Apple—and Amy’s family.
Customer Reviews
Fast paced!
Good story. Good flow. Kept my interest throughout. Sets up to have reoccurring characters for future.
Couldn’t finish it, it’s that bad
Stupid, incoherent and nonsensical. Someone just phoned this in.
