I hope you have more magic in store, though I am never sure in which direction you will take things. After the huge opening scenes we settle down a little into an unfolding storyline around Will’s boss, known to them as the Blue Man. (Which is something to do with his revered position in The Agency.)

David Baldacci has been writing since childhood, when his mother gave him a lined notebook in which to write down his stories. (Much later, when David thanked her for being the spark that ignited his writing career, she revealed that she’d given him the notebook to keep him quiet, "because every mom needs a break now and then.”)Our heroes have several clashes with the Neo-Nazi's, always showing their superior skill and intelligence. At the very end they will need all of that skill and intelligence to overcome the forces of evil operating on a grand scale in the town of Grand. Until Will and Jess came into town to find Blueman no one in Grand had any idea what was going on. It begins with Luther Whitney breaking into a home, something he does often and for a living. Baldacci explains that Whitney doesn’t carry a weapon, but rather prefers to rely on his skills to do the job. One night Whitney is witness to an unexpected tryst in the bedroom, trapped in the closet and unable to leave without revealing himself and possibly getting injured. As the lovemaking between the man and woman turns violent, Whitney unintentionally is the sole witness to murder. Shapiro, Ari (27 July 2009).

There are 100s of bad guys and minimal law enforcement officers and it looks like the bad guys are winning! That is until Robie and Reel get involved. So no let downs here, as Will Robie and Jessica Reel are two of my favourite characters from one of my favourite authors. He had been selected for this line of work with the basic requirements already in place: He had a body, he had a mind, and he feared basically nothing. Two of the government's most lethal assassins scour rural Colorado to find their missing handler--and discover an insidious and lethal threat along the way in this New York Times bestselling thriller.

Two of my favorite mystery/suspense writers are Lee Child and David Baldacci. There are very few books by either author that I haven’t enjoyed. This is the case with Baldacci’s new book, “End Game” which is his fourth adventure with Will Robie, a secret weapon of the United States government. Robie, along with his partner, Jessica Reel, are two of the most lethal assassins ever created. They are given the toughest assignments against the world’s deadliest terrorists and those seeking violence against the United States. Once again, David Baldacci gives us another fabulous thriller in End Game, which is something we have all come to expect from him. He is a masterful storyteller, with in depth wonderful characters, and he holds you at the edge of your seat from beginning to end. If you think you know what will happen, trust me, you will never see what is coming, as Baldacci continually pulls surprises and twists. You need to read this series, but then again you should be reading everything by David Baldacci.

Publication Order of The 39 Clues: Cahills vs. Vespers Books

There are 37 David Baldacci books in my Audible library; I'm a huge fan of his writing. I have rated the four prior novels in the Will Robie series as well as the short story Bullseye 5 stars. End Game is an excellent story that stretches credibility too far with its over the top descriptions of Will Robie's and Jessica Reel's heroics. Combined the two kill a very large number of bad guys; I did not count but their combined number of kills must be greater than 50.
