Publisher Description
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 she trusts completely 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?
Or end him?
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
A father hell-bent on revenge faces off against an international crime cartel in this blistering David Baldacci thriller. Walter Nash was just a businessman until the FBI recruited him to help dismantle a money-laundering operation. That cooperation resulted in a personal tragedy that cost him everything. Now, under the guise of being corporate security guard Dillon Hope, Nash infiltrates the syndicate led by ruthless kingpin Victoria Steers with one goal: get revenge or die trying. Baldacci is a master at creating compelling but complicated characters, and Walter Nash is one of his best. The action scenes, from a perilous jailbreak in the jungles of Myanmar to a thwarted assassination attempt in the streets of Hong Kong, are expertly choreographed. The full-cast narration, led by MacLeod Andrews as Nash, is as immersive as a Hollywood blockbuster. With its scorching action, unforgettable characters, and jaw-dropping finale, Hope Rises is as good as crime thrillers get.

Terrible Disappointment
I’d give it zero stars if I could. I like Baldacci, read countless of his books. But this one is a complete dud. Strays so far from the previous story, and is far too unbelievable with most of the scenes. Mostly boring and pointless, my guess is Baldacci didn’t really write this one. Don’t waste your money nor time with this one. Read The Camel Club series instead.
