Summary: After the realities of 911 this book will shake you up
Review: While the book was written years before 911, it hits home with this brand of terrorism. The reader on the audio tapes was very good and held my interest throughout. Some of the technology things are dated now, but even so you'll enjoy it.

Summary: Worst book I've read by Patterson!
Review: A great story. A group of Vietnam vets, upset (putting it mildly) over their treatment after returning from 'Nam fulfills a plot to disrupt, if not bankrupt, the US financial system. The plan is executed to military perfection and almost works. Why doesn't it? Someone else is controlling what happens but who? It's still a mystery which is part of the reason the book is so good. It's left me thinking about a number of things weeks after reading it. Why have vets been treated the way they have? How would I "re-adapt" to our society after going through what they've been through? How much do we really know about what controls our economy?
This is an exciting and thought-provoking book. My first Patterson story but certainly not my last.
