Description

In this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller, when two former Secret Service agents investigate a message from a soldier who was supposedly killed, they're determined to protect his son...even if they pay for it with their lives.

It seems at first like a simple, tragic story. Tyler Wingo, a teenage boy, learns the awful news that his father, a soldier, was killed in action in Afghanistan. Then the extraordinary happens: Tyler receives a communication from his father...after his supposed death.

Tyler hires Sean and Michelle to solve the mystery surrounding his father. But their investigation quickly leads to deeper, more troubling questions. Could Tyler's father really still be alive? What was his true mission? Could Tyler be the next target?

Sean and Michelle soon realize that they've stumbled on to something bigger and more treacherous than anyone could have imagined. And as their hunt for the truth leads them relentlessly to the highest levels of power and to uncovering the most clandestine of secrets, Sean and Michelle are determined to help and protect Tyler--though they may pay for it with their lives.

Edge of my seat reading! In fact, the entire series is excellent. If only there was more…?

The book drags at time and the plot wasn’t as powerful as I was hoping. Not one of his better books

Good twists and turns. Writing is not as smooth as usual — had to put it down to get some stamina.

Reading how King & Maxwell handle their Journey drew me in. Exciting. Identifying with each character made for a good read.

While King and Maxwell has an imaginative story line and slightly rounded characters--about standard for the genre--the run of cliches knocked the writing level down from professional to freshman. While the author had a few over-reaches in the plot, the tale moved well. But a good editor could have worked wonders with a blue pen, or even a red one. A good writer has made money by putting his name on someone else's novel: a tatty sweater woven with inferior yarn, and I feel cheated.

I was saddened when Vince Flynn passed. I truly
enjoyed his body of work!
King & Maxwell however was my favorite read to date. I literally could not put it down.
Looking forward to my next David Baldacci read..

It's a good read but rather lame plot and predictable ending. Needed raunchy sex scenes to make it perfectly ridiculous.
Could have been good

He's slipping. Churning out books instead of creating stories of art and substance. The big problem here is the constant coincidences that solve problems. The whole book keeps having a lucky break a chapter to solve a mystery. Totally predictable. Not crafty like so many of his other books. Disappointing to his fans. Wanted to love it. Just can't.

The best PI pair imaginable. True to form, David Baldacci has written another novel with unforeseen twists that cannot be duplicated. Thanks DB.

I found this book to be exceptionally boring and lacking. The characters are weak and lacking any real personalities. I don,t even want to bother finish reading it.

Worst book I've read in years! Sentence structure and content is a 3rd grade level, full of banal exchanges of "Sean said . . . Michelle said," and completely unbelievable scenarios such as the President asking for their help. This isn't a work of fiction, it's a bunch of mindless sentences thrown together to give the author and publisher a paycheck. I only finished it to see if it would get any better - - it finally did - - I finished it.

I don't know when I've enjoyed a book as much as I did this one. Action-packed and edge-of-the-seat drama. What a great book by a great writer.
Love Baldacci, but …(Audiobook review)

I have read many of his books and with these characters, however….I found this one to be a little drawn out lacking the constant edge of your seat that made me love this author. I can say that I did not "read" this book but listened to the audio version, I found myself saying, "is this ever gonna end" towards the conclusion. I liked this audiobook because it had two people and sound effects, the down side is I found myself getting annoyed when it was very obvious that Michelle was talking and the man voice followed up her dialogue with "Michelle said" or "Michelle replied." All in all it was a decent 'listen to" but I loved The Innocent and The Forgotten much much better.

Just another typical Balducci first-rate thriller which we've all come to expect from him.

Great book, with excitement throughout. The characters are well developed and interesting. You have to wonder if some of them will show up in further writings. The story line is current and I found the book hard to put down, only knowing that I would have problems staying awake the next day, was the reason for stopping for the night.
What is the point of a preorder if it is not recognized! Terribly disappointing!
