This plot was a little different for James Patterson, but the book was the same as usual. A very quick read. Short chapters, simple writing, total brain candy.

An action-packed fast-paced read! But WOW, the audiobook was something else! Full of special effects, this book comes to life in the audio version!
This was a great story that left you on the edge of your seat the whole time!

My first book by James Patterson.
There's nothing new and special about the story, but the execution is great. I like the action and suspense. The flow of the story is smooth. I could finish this in a day if I'm not lazy.
I haven't read the other books in the series, but I still enjoyed this book. I think I would enjoy this more if I read the preceding installments.

I don’t normally mind books by James Patterson, however this is the third I’ve read from this series and I’m not sure I would bother any further. It almost feels like it’s been written for young adults, and I felt that this story line has been done to death. Terrorists bombing a city, threats of tsunamis it’s been in no end of films and so there wasn’t anything new here, and as with other Mike Bennet books the ending felt rushed.

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.

Another typical Patterson. Good but not fantastic. Always good to get back to Bennett and the stuff going on around him, this time NY being terrorized.

Just started and I already feel this will be my least favorite among Patterson & Co series. I have trouble liking Michael Bennett because the way he "talks".
The story is exciting and as other of his books, short chapters, easy and fast to read.
Because the story is based in NYC similar to NYPD RED, I feel I have to compare and I prefer RED to this series.

Excellent read. Surprised Patterson went THERE. Mike Bennett is a great character but this one was just a little overblown. Still can't wait for the next one though.
