Description

The world's greatest assassins are on a high-risk mission for the President--but a powerful mastermind wants them dead in this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller.

The President knows it's a perilous, high-risk assignment. If he gives the order, he has the opportunity to take down a global menace, once and for all. If the mission fails, he would face certain impeachment, and the threats against the nation would multiply. So the president turns to the one team that can pull off the impossible: Will Robie and his partner, Jessica Reel.

Together, Robie and Reel's talents as assassins are unmatched. But there are some in power who don't trust the pair. They doubt their willingness to follow orders. And they will do anything to see that the two assassins succeed, but that they do not survive.

As they prepare for their mission, Reel faces a personal crisis that could well lead old enemies right to her doorstep, resurrecting the ghosts of her earlier life and bringing stark danger to all those close to her. And all the while, Robie and Reel are stalked by a new adversary: an unknown and unlikely assassin, a woman who has trained her entire life to kill, and who has her own list of targets--a list that includes Will Robie and Jessica Reel.

The president, the incompetent director of the CIA have devised a secret plot to kill ann extremely high ranking general in North Korea.What ensues is a magnificent tale of intrigue, deception and non stop action. A stupendous read!! My highest recommendation!!
My least favorite book in this series

Love Will Robbie and Jessica Reel, but pacing and especially the plot in this one left a lot to be desired.
Great Read!

Liked the book didn’t love but it is very well written just followed too many characters. Good change of pace if you read Lee Childs.

As I am finding out Author David Baldacci is an amazing author. I've read three of his Will Robie series and I have a very hard time putting the books down and doing my housework. I am now starting my 4th book.
Good read

Another great book.
Worst of the first 3 books

I enjoyed the first 2 books, but the plot in this one is completely implausible, from some weird neonazi extremist kidnapping and patricide to a bizarre rescue of some characters we absolutely do not care for in a North Korean labor camp to the dumbest assassination attempt on the First Family. Characters are either good, so we must see them as heroes or victims, or evil, so they are completely shallow and must predictably die. No moral dilemmas whatsoever. Ending is very predictable, rushed, and abrupt.

Feel free to skip this one. Not sure if I'll be picking up the 4th entry now.
Disappointing.

Very disappointing. Far-fetched, crazy, unrealistic, predictable. Unlike other Robie reads.

David Baldacci writes some of the best suspenseful stories I've ever read. This is another one in a long list of great books. I must admit I was teary-eyed at the end. I love Jessica Reel and Will Robie together! They work so well together and I love how they always have each other's back....Bravo, Mr. Baldacci!
Very disappointing

Have rated most of his previous books 4 stars. This one is simplistic and unimaginative.
Do NOT buy - possibly not written by Baldacci

Nothing about this book reads like a Baldacci. It’s almost like he got some to “co-author” it for him. Do yourself a favour and get the sample first - you’ll know what I mean. S-L-O-W, dull, “I can’t believe it’s a Baldacci” book. Terribly painful.

Nonstop action from believable characters, set in situations that could or might be possible.
Read this book when you have the time for non stop enjoyment. You can't put it down
Dreadful writing

A real hack job…trading on a name to make a buck.

This book completely misses "The Target." If you like a sequel with characters whose presence is implausible, an uneven story line and a plot that requires a complete suspension of disbelief, then read this thing.
Full of Action

This was without a doubt one of my favorite reads! It was filled with suspense, and the pace was extraordinary.
My two favorite areas were the the break out in Korea, and the deaths of the racists ......
Pretty Good But Not His Best By Any Means

While the story began well enough, it became somewhat formulaic and very predicable long before the conclusion. Still not bad for a "beach read"!

For me I won't be reading any more Robie/Reel adventures. Time to put these two down and bring on more realistic agents.
Excellent read

This was a fast paced multi layered book. I believe the one and two star reviews were rather harsh. the different story lines just added to the characters. This was the third book about Will Robie and I recommend reading the first two prior to reading the Target. There are a lot of references to "The Hit" and "The Innocent" in this third book.

Great deal of action , perhaps to much violence. I was surprised that the North Korean agent was killed off at the end with all she had to suffer during her lifetime . Are there a great number of concentration camps in North Korea ? It makes you wonder if there are any here in the United States!?

One of Baldacci's best ever. If you start this book be prepared to call in sick at work as you will not be able to put it down until the very end. Three seemingly unconnected stories tied up into one. Wow!
Not his best

Disappointing plot. Started out with intriguing yet unlikely premise then worked too hard to pull the pieces together. My least favorite of his books.

The Target really was an exciting read. I was quite literally squirming in my seat on the airplane. The characters were developed so well. I truly empathized with them! I can't wait to read more of Robi and his growing network and assignments.
Another Great One

I love Baldacci and this series but this book left me a little disappointed. I thought the book kept you interested and was very good until very late; the ending seems totally out of character.
