Beware. This is not a new novel; it's a retread from a poorly written novel from the 1980s. I can excuse the author from recycling his old,poorly written novels to capitalize on his recent fame, but at least do some editing and rewriting to bring the novel up to the current times. The gist of the story is: a group of ex-soldiers blow up Wall Street, run off with a couple of billion of stock certificates, and try to destabilize the US economy. Well, where do we start. First, a company like Citigroup alone is worth over $200 BILLION. I doubt that running off with a couple of billion in stock certificates would destabilize the US economy. And stock certificates? Apparently, the author hasn't realized that we're in the computer and information era. Oh, by the way, the characters are boring and the plot (probably the most critical element in a thriller) is inane. The logical jump the main protagonist takes to make the connection between the attack on Wall Street to these group of ex-soldiers is just ridiculous. I reread the key chapter in which this logical connection between the attack and the ex-soliders is made three times to try to figure out whether I had missed something. Nope. Essentially, the case is broke open by a ridiculous plot device.... I paid good money for this lousy book and I want it back.

This book was a big disappointment. First of all it was written years ago, before Mr Patterson was a good writer. It is an example of greed, trying to pass off an early work as new.
Second, for the life of me I can't figure the supposed "plot" in the novel. Who is actually working for who. Who are the real bad guys? And then there is the discovery of who the terrorist is. It is so unbelievable, it will make you laugh.

All in all, a great disappointment from a fine writer
