Another fine installment in the Michael Bennett series. This one has solid writing, with very few errors. The plot took a great number of turns which kept up my interest. The methods of terrorism used were very modern and high tech.

Two genius terrorists torture the city of New York with attack after attack. Only Michael Bennett can stop them!

I loved the story, but be aware that whoever made the audiobook thought it would be a good idea to put in sound effects that are louder than the narrator at certain parts.
Annoying as anything!
It was a wonderful story without the sound effects

This was an okay book. Not my favourite in the series but still enjoyable. Patterson and his co-authors do need to re-think their naming of characters. The main character in this book is Michael Bennett and one of the villians was Mr. Beckett. Too similar of names in my opinion.

3.5 stars not one of my favorites in the series. I didn't like the whole terrorist concept with what is currently going on in the world. It stressed me out. :-(

I wish I could give a half star. I would give this 3.5 stars. It was a good story but I kind of felt like at times it dragged. Because it was so much like the previous books. But the ending was very good. It is worth the read.

The next Michael Bennett thriller in which he is after someone terrorizing New York City with bombs, shooting the mayor, and a tsunami.

I'm still enjoying Michael Bennett and his brood of children, grandpa, and the nannies. This book was a bit far-fetched but it was also exciting and a thriller. I'm still not sure about Mike's love life with the Irish nanny, but she only returned from Ireland at the end of the book. I liked the male Irish nanny and how he fit with the kids. The police work was crazy as always, but the end was satisfying. I listened to this one and again I hate the sound effects. HATE THEM
