  <default_description>Detective Michael Bennett is about to take on the most sinister challenge of his career. The nation has fallen into mourning after the unexpected death of a beloved former first lady, and the most powerful people in the world gather in New York for her funeral. Then the inconceivable occurs. Billionaires, politicians, and superstars of every kind are suddenly trapped within one man's brilliant and ruthless scenario. Bennett--father of ten--is pulled into the fray. As the danger escalates, Michael is hit with devastating news. After fighting for many years, his wife has succumbed to a terrible disease. As New York descends into chaos, he has lost the great love of his life and faces raising his ten devastated children alone--and rescuing 34 hostages. Day after day, Bennett confronts the most ruthless man he has ever dealt with, a man who kills without hesitation and counters everything the NYPD and FBI throw at him with impunity. As the entire world watches and the tension boils to a searing heat, Bennett has to find a way out--or face responsibility for the greatest debacle in history.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[We listened to this audio book on a long trip home.  There were a lot of holes in this story.  Too much time went into the description of two funerals and a great deal of the rest time was devoted to the heroes picture perfect brood of ten children.  His relationship with his children and dying wife...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/44118987">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Patterson and Ledwidge do a great job of showing how team writing can really create a wonderful book. They waste no time jumping right in as the readers join the former president and his wife as they are celebrating their honeymoon with a dinner out on the town. It ends in disaster as she has an all...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/30612329">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a typical Patterson thriller; he catches your interest from the first chapter.  Although these books always read quickly, with 2 or 3 page chapters, you may think you're a &quot;speed&quot; reader!  I DO like his Alex Cross books, but this protagonist has his hands full with 10 adopted kids ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/46247546">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I had to drive to IN (8 hr. trip) so listened to this on tape.  Excellent story and the reader was terrific which can make or break a story.  The ex-First Lady is killed, staged to look like an accident, during the funeral mass at St. Patrick's in NYC, a group of &quot;Monks&quot; seize and secure t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75000728">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[i really like the book but it was really sad. i love to read james patterson and i think that this book contradicts the idea that the United States defense system is strong. The book has it that there are hijackers kidnapping very famous people and slowly killing them. There is a detective Bennett a...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/54997249">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I read this book on an airplane. I must agree with a few others wondering how a cop and a nurse support 10 kids and an au pair. Any way it is a fast easy read. Great for a trip or the beach. I am left wondering what happenes to some of the celebrity hostages. Do they change? Do their careers suffer?...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45365887">more...</a>]]></body>
