Nicolas Creel is a man on a mission. He heads up the world's largest defense contractor, The Ares Corporation. Dick Pender is the man Creel retains to "perception manage" his company to even more riches by manipulating international conflicts. But Creel may have an even grander plan in mind. Shaw, a man with no first name and a truly unique past, has a different agenda. Reluctantly doing the bidding of a secret multi-national intelligence agency, he travels the globe to keep it safe and at peace. Willing to do anything to get back to the top of her profession, Katie James is a journalist who has just gotten the break of a lifetime: the chance to interview the sole survivor of a massacre that has left every nation stunned. In this terrifying, global thriller, these characters' lives will collide head-on as a series of events is set in motion that could change the world as we know it. An utterly spellbinding story that feels all too real, THE WHOLE TRUTH delivers all the twists and turns, emotional drama, unforgettable characters, and can't-put-it-down pacing that readers expect from David Baldacci-and still goes beyond anything he's written before. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - OutstandingDavid Baldacci is my favorite author. I have never read a "bad" book. Recommend his books all the time. Rating: - Baldacci does it againI always enjoy reading Baldacci as I find it very hard to put the book down. I say to myself, I will close with the next chapter and then go to bed, but I find myself keeping right on reading until the wee hours of the morning. Rating: - The Best David Baldacci Since Absolute PowerDavid Baldacci's fast plots and intriguing story lines have made him a favorite author of my friends. I've enjoyed his novels - but this one stepped outside the usual "good, quick read" and captured the same sense of innovation and excitement I experienced when reading his first novel, Aboslute Power. The Whole Truth is very relevant to our instant information age, with spin doctors manipulating perception and blogs carrying news to us faster than old fashioned print media. A very topical and frightening ... Read More Rating: - David's finest workThis book gets several five stars ratings though I have to only give it four stars in the international aspect. I never really felt like I was Dublin or London or on the Mediterranean. It gets ten stars for timing, and five stars for importance and entertainment. It is usually hard to be highly entertaining and important at the same time. Clive Cussler is the master of entertainment but he hardly tries to educate or sound alarms. "House of War" and "The Creature from Jekyll Island" are extremely important ...

I could recommend it for the first 3/4 of the book. |
