  <default_description>Sean King and Michelle Maxwell are back, and struggling in the emotional aftermath of the events that brought them to the brink in Hour Game. Dogged by personal demons, Maxwell is seeking solace in a psychiatric institution, after barely surviving a violent barroom brawl. And King, having failed to right their troubled partnership, watches bewildered and mortified by his partner's rapid decline. Relieved to have some distraction, he hastily accepts an offer to investigate a murder at a retreat called Babbage Town, a secret enclave of scientific geniuses working to surpass the capabilities of the most sophisticated microprocessor in the world. But to what end? And more immediate, why do so many of the key players in the menacing project have ties to the institution where Maxwell's staying? Suddenly, the pair find themselves in a race against time to expose a plot that could unhinge the entire global power structure...and destroy what's left of their lives.</default_description>

I'm a big fan of suspense and this one really dragged through the middle.  I loved the characters so I pressed on, but the ending was sloppy and unsatisfying.

I'm not sure where Mr. Baldacci is going with these two characters. I'm enjoying the series arc of exploring Maxwell's psyche but not sure where he's going with it.

With a distinct flair for weaving a bit of truth into his fictional creations, Baldacci captures the reader’s imagination, while presenting a believable story.

    <body><![CDATA[If there is one thing annoying about reading Baldacci is his obsession with how TALL his characters are.  In every book that I have read so far the main antagonist/hero is amazingly tall.  And in this book, the female is also tall.  This has become a little annoying albeit humorous in an odd way.

    <body><![CDATA[I picked up this book at a retreat at Joe Wheeler State Park with some friends of mine a couple of weeks ago.  One of the ladies brought a bunch of books and was giving them away.  As I read it, I recalled the main characters from another book I read a long time ago, but can't remember what it is.  ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/49596436">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I did enjoy this book.  Good characters in a complex plot make for a good read in the genre.  There may be a few instances of dialogue that make you wince, but that can be said of most books, and there may be instances of poetic license taken that make you cringe (the exposure of a &quot;Turing mach...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/46215601">more...</a>]]></body>
