About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

With the country in chaos and corruption on all sides, there's only one person to turn to.

When a series of military-style attacks erupt across the United States, Detective John Sampson is called in to investigate. The attacks are untraceable, with patterns too random to decipher, leaving Sampson struggling to find a link amongst the carnage.

As Sampson discovers a lead through an ex-military contact, his partner Alex Cross is brutally side-lined, leaving him certain about one thing: he can trust no one.

With soldiers called on secret assignments and others mysteriously disappearing, Sampson must revisit his military past if he's to save his country's future.

"Alex Cross is a legend." (Harlan Coben)
All stars

was a struggle to start with and the lack of the main character did it no favours disappointed

Alex Cross book without Alex Cross.

Was a really good book, I was not expecting the book to be about Sampson though, so it took me a bit off guard. But I was pleasantly surprised on how good it was, and how I was constantly wondering how Alex was.

Not what I was expecting.

Very excited to download this new Alex Cross book but quickly into it, l I realised Alex wouldn’t be in it much. It was his mate Samson’s case this time which makes no sense as these books are supposed to follow Alex Cross and his cases. Not sure he was in it for more than 5 minutes at the start and about the same at the end! Story was just ok, a bit far fetched. Please bring Alex back in the next one!

Disappointing - where is Alex?
