David Baldacci is one of the world's most popular, widely read storytellers. In his blockbuster thrillers Zero Day and The Forgotten, he enthralled readers with John Puller. A combat veteran and special agent with the U.S. Army, Puller is the man they call to investigate the toughest crimes facing the nation. But all his training, all his experience, all his skills will not prepare him for his newest case, one that will force him to hunt down the most formidable and brilliant prey he has ever tracked: his own brother.THE ESCAPEIt's a prison unlike any other. Military discipline rules. Its security systems are unmatched. None of its prisoners dream of escaping. They know it's impossible . . . until now.John Puller's older brother, Robert, was convicted of treason and national security crimes. His inexplicable escape from prison makes him the most wanted criminal in the country. Some in the government believe that John Puller represents their best chance at capturing Robert alive, and so Puller must bring in his brother to face justice.But Puller quickly discovers that his brother is pursued by others who don't want him to survive. Puller is in turn pushed into an uneasy, fraught partnership with another agent, who may have an agenda of her own.They dig more deeply into the case together, and Puller finds that not only are her allegiances unclear, but there are troubling details about his brother's conviction . . . and someone out there doesn't want the truth to ever come to light. As the nationwide manhunt for Robert grows more urgent, Puller's masterful skills as an investigator and strengths as a fighter may not be enough to save his brother-or himself.

Review "Baldacci has crafted another terrific tale with two great protagonists. Just when the story line seems to veer into familiar areas, Baldacci steers it into another shocking direction. This is the best book yet in the series."―Associated Press on King and Maxwell"David Baldacci's latest thriller is not only highly relevant, it is also well timed. And the details seem so real that it's hard not to wonder if the author is an insider; the tone is that authentic. An absolute page-turner, King and Maxwell is Baldacci at the pinnacle of his game."―BookReporter.com"Another fast paced page turner that will keep you glued to the couch...by an author who continues to standout in the increasingly crowded thriller field."―Examiner.com on The Forgotten"Baldacci is a master when it comes to writing about small-town conspiracies and a lone hero who fights against all odds to clean up corruption. The narrative moves slowly, so the reader has a chance to solve the case along with Puller. It might seem straightforward, but the final reveal will surprise even hardcore thriller junkies."―The Washington Post on The Forgotten"Readers expect excitement and intrigue in David Baldacci's books, and Zero Day is no exception...As Baldacci's new hero narrowly escapes countless close calls, the pairing of the author's imagination and knowledge create a wild ride for the reader. Puller is gutsy, brash and likable. Best of all, he survives to reappear in the next book of this new series."―The Free-Lance Star on Zero Day"Zero Day is a nifty, paranoid thriller disguised as a murder mystery, and Baldacci advances it at a speedy clip with a nice mix of intrigue, tantalizing clues and the occasional explosion...Baldacci's books are fast-paced battles between good and evil."―Richmond Times Dispatch on Zero Day

This book will make you think & keep you up at night By KC in Lexington Baldacci is one of my favorite authors, but with this book he may have moved into first place. While my favorite book of his is not a thriller (Wish You Well) this one comes close to first place.The story will make you think. How small the world has become and what that means for all of us if there is ever a contagious bioterrorism attack is a clear theme. For the first time my thinking on Snowdens release of top secret material was put into question by this book. At what point does national security eliminate or reduce constitutional rights? How can you protect your country when the acts of one person could be catastrophic? Does the end justify the means?Yes this book will make you think and while it may keep you up all night to finish reading it, it may also keep you up all night when you finish because if it doesn't scare you abit you must not be breathing.At the book's heart it is a thriller and the best one I have read in years. The plot moves along quickly with unexpected twists and turns. The characters are so well developed that I can literally see and hear them in my mind.The book is also a story about family, loyalty and the often unfortunate dysfunctional relationship between parent and child. The Father of the main characters has Alzheimer's disease. The horrific effects are clear both to the afflicted and to their loved ones.I can't wait for the next Puller novel. The series just gets better with each book. Baldacci has created a character who is noble, loyal, intelligent and daring but who is most importantly incredibly likeable. Puller is the person one would aspire to emulate. He is not without flaws, but those flaws make him human.

Puller vs Puller By Suncoast David Baldacci returns again this year with an exciting thriller, the third of his series featuring John Puller, a former war hero who is one of the best military investigators in the US Army's Criminal Investigative Division. This time Puller is faced with one of the most dangerous and controversial cases of his career - to find a maximum security prisoner from the Leavenworth Military Prison who has made a miraculous escape and left an unknown dead body in his cell. The case is controversial because the escapee is Puller's elder brother Bobby who was convicted by a military court of serious national security crimes.The first couple of chapters about how the escape happened set the scene for an absorbing and exciting chase to work out how and why the escape happened and to find and arrest Bobby. What is surprising is that a trio of top military brass ask Puller to find his brother and bring him back for justice especially as Bobby has an almost eidetic memory of important military secrets. Puller soon finds that the whole thing reeks of conspiracy at the highest level with possible overseas influence within the security agencies of the US. Also he is soon not sure if Bobby was actually guilty of the crimes for which he was imprisoned.Puller is normally a loner but he is forced to work with enigmatic (and of course attractive) US intelligence officer, Captain Veronica Knox who he has problems trusting. Of course she has problems trusting Puller, especially about how he will react when they finally hunt down his brother. The plot has many twists and turns and is great reading. As with other recent Baldacci thrillers the plot sometimes verges on the unbelievable but this time it doesn't go over the believability barrier too much.After The Forgotten (John Puller series Book 2) Baldacci has brought John Puller back from looking like a Jack Reacher clone to his military CID roots. Baldacci has the talent to create a number of very different and compelling lead characters and Puller is now towards the top of the list. My main reservation is that Puller is not as charismatic as some of the other ones - especially Oliver Stone and the Camel Club. The finale certainly sets the scene for an interesting return sometime later on.

I really wish Baldacci would take more time between books and get back to the quality of his earlier works By dch822 David Baldacci is a terrific storyteller and obviously a phenomenally successful author. He also happens to be a terrific guy who has used his success to support/establish charities. I had the chance to meet him when he traveled overseas to do book events on U.S. military bases in Europe. I have a lot of respect for him because I saw firsthand how he interacted with our military personnel and dependents.Which is why it’s difficult for me to write a negative review for THE ESCAPE. But I don’t have a choice. This is not an attack on the author – it’s simply not a good book.I like the book’s premise. Puller is a military investigator. His father is a military legend. His brother is a former soldier in a military prison for treason. Now his brother escapes from prison and Puller must track him down. That’s good – and I wish the book had stuck with that premise. But it morphed into a hundred other things, and the result was a convoluted mess.I also thought the dialogue was terrible. It felt like the publishers went to print with an early draft of the book. On one page, Puller is yelling at Knox (the female he’s been teamed up with unwittingly to track his brother) that he can’t trust her because maybe she’s a spy, or maybe she has a secret agenda, or maybe a dozen other things … and then two pages later, Puller is all “Knox I’m on board with you, I trust you one hundred percent” … and then two pages later, “I can’t trust you!” … and two pages after that, “I’ll tell you everything because I trust you.”It’s like a bad soap opera except it doesn’t end. It just goes on and on.Then we go from a prison escape, to investigating why his brother was in prison to begin with, to conspiracy theories with bad guys who aren’t scary, just laughable.The plot twists were ridiculous. The “tension” was contrived, as if arguing over whether or not we can trust each other is supposed to make the book tense and dramatic.I really wish Baldacci would take more time between books and go back to the process he was using for his earlier works. There was a time when a new Baldacci book really meant something – but honestly, if THE ESCAPE is indicative of his future works then he’ll still be a great guy, but he’ll also be an author that I no longer read.
