Cross Down: The Sunday Times bestselling thriller

Product Information

No one gets this big without amazing natural storytelling talent - which is what Jim has, in spades. Such as, the one character going to extremes to find out who was doing the voice recordings from his boss and found out it was a woman. There may be a clue to discover the plot to unleash a nuclear blast within the United States, devastating the country as a whole. D. has taken out one of the attackers and driven off and possibly wounding one or two of the others.

I know in looking at a lot of online comments that this seemed to upset a lot of fans, but I am not sure why. Thank you Penguin Random House SA for gifting me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Patterson and DuBois, for a decent addition to the series, which keeps getting new life breathed into it.This was a solid thriller recipe, that built on the premise of what would happen if Alex Cross was incapacitated and his partner and best friend, John Sampson had to work on his own without him.

Cross is rushed into surgery at a nearby hospital, suffering from a collapsed ling and fighting for his life. For me, Alex has remained a fierce, intellectual knight of moral character and the proper use of action.It was a great series while it lasted; hoping that maybe, just maybe the next installment (Cross Out in 2024) will be minus a coauthor and we will see the old Alex back.

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. This book veers away from the suspense thriller of serial acts and it’s more focused on the military/ army aspect, following on John Sampsons history. While things heat up, Sampson finds himself working with the most unlikely partner and travels to the far sides of the world. During the investigation, Cross is brutally attacked and ends up in the ICU, keeping him out of the game.Can the three of them save the day and save the President from making a big mistake and trusting the wrong military to save America from utter chaos? As a shadow force advances on the nation’s capital, Sampson alone must protect the Cross family, his own young daughter, and every American, including the president. James Patterson is back with his cornerstone series, bringing Brendan DuBois along for the collaborative ride. Alex Cross and his partner John Sampson are caught in the middle of seemingly random deadly attacks occurring throughout the country threatening the very fabric of our union. I knew from the 1st chapter that it was not James Patterson's writing and I should have stopped reading then, but foolishly continued.

As a long-time fan of the Alex Cross series, I was surprised to see a collaboration with this one as it has normally always been a James Patterson standalone series. In the twenty-seven years following, there have been some good (and excellent) adventures and some less-than-stellar outings along the way, but I generally looked forward to the end of each year when another Alex Cross adventure was published. Even though Alex was absent from the screen about 80% of the time, that was okay, because the story was good. Plot lines develop with ease and propel the narrative forward, keeping the reader engaged and wondering where things are headed. Cross and Sampson find themselves sitting in the same room with representatives from the NSA, FBI, CIA, Homeland Security, and the DC Metro Police.The brilliant crime-solving duo of Washington, DC’s, Metro PD and the FBI has a proven MO: Detective Alex Cross makes his own rules.
