About this deal

Many of the main characters are ultimately irrelevant, the villains are too cookie-cutter and lack depth, and the setting isn't particularly exciting. However, in some scenes Robie and Reel, fully knowing this information, gun down members of this group in defense or offense and shrug it off commenting that one-less supremacist makes the world better off.

Murders, quite a few execution-style, result in bodies piling up faster than pitchfork-flung hay in a mow (some of them deservedly so, others not).Their boss, Blue Moon is missing since a few days and they are given the assignment to find him, hopefully - alive.

All things considered, if you're looking for serious kick-assction (I made that one up to avoid getting censored, so hopefully you get my drift), it would be tough to beat this book.If you’ve been reading the Will Robie series, I’d definitely recommend reading End Game and seeing it through. With over 130 million copies in print, his books are published in over 80 territories and 45 languages, and have been adapted for both feature-film and television.

David Baldacci can settle these two together without losing reader interest if he makes most of the conflict arise from the plot, with maybe a little bit of relationship settling in to spice things up. With little time to ponder what the future holds, Robie and Reel must act now and sort out their past connection later. From a writing standpoint, the execution rather quickly dives into - and stays in - the realm of "you've got to be kidding. Y aunque el autor podría seguir escribiendo sobre estos personajes está bien que deje de estirar el chicle, hay que saber cuándo parar. As they delve deeper into the mystery behind Blue Man’s disappearance, they find themselves facing an adversary who has a home and firepower advantage.

It’s wildly melodramatic, the romantic interests act like, and have similar dialogue to, high schoolers. It was like they were a super-villain but not nearly smart, cool, and interesting enough to carry it off. After the huge opening scenes we settle down a little into an unfolding storyline around Will’s boss, known to them as the Blue Man.

I'm hooked on this series, but this installment wasn't as gripping or fast paced as the previous stories.I enjoy Baldacci and his series, but can only hope that if he is losing his passion for these two, that he will tie things off and turn his gaze onto his well-developed newer series, which also packs a punch. The climactic reveal was not much interesting as well, a bit so so, at least compared to the previous books, especially coming right after the jawdropping chilling final reveal and overall mystery of the A-plus greatness that was The Guilty. I plan to go back and read the third and fourth books in the series, The Target and The Guilty but am not necessarily in a hurry. This is the case with Baldacci’s new book, “End Game” which is his fourth adventure with Will Robie, a secret weapon of the United States government.
