End Game: David Baldacci (Will Robie series, 5)

Product Information

Formulaic, but lacking adequate character development, especially disappointing with an earlier likable character Will Robie. Our heroes have several clashes with the Neo-Nazi's, always showing their superior skill and intelligence.

It’s Jack Reacher / special ops / navy seals on speed in some instances, backed up by a complex plot and likeable (if slightly dysfunctional) characters.But lying in wait in Grand is an even more insidious and sweeping threat, one that may shake the very foundations of America. Will and Jess are government sanctioned assassins, not investigators, but in this story they will have to become investigators too.

As usual, is Baldacci's writing on top and I love how the book from page one to the last is filled with action. Too much money for eBook that’s extremely repetitive, way too much info on Silo/underground bunkers and there’s very little difference between this and a previous Robb Will book. There are more questions than answers, leaving Robie and Reel to wonder if this mission might be beyond their capabilities. So no let downs here, as Will Robie and Jessica Reel are two of my favourite characters from one of my favourite authors.I have loved the Will Robie series starting with The Innocent, but each book following has gotten a little worse. So there’s that contradiction, which is enjoyable (I mean, cheesy dialog has its moments) but not the norm for these characters. This story allows Baldacci time for the growing relationship between Robie and Reel, a clever, different, well paced, action packed thriller. It holds many secrets including a stagnant economy, understaffed local and state police, multiple militant fringe groups, and an even stronger threat that will hinder their very ability to escape, yet alone find Blue Man. As some of the characters are supposed to make an appearance in his other series on Amos Decker ( Memory Man), I wanted to wrap this one up and not run the risk of missing anything.
