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.

Awesome. Another great read. Best author ever!

Tjader26

The Target is top notch and completely immersive. Reading this book you can soon see mr Baldacci researched the camps that exist today in North Korea. The characters reach out of the pages and pull you in, immersing you into the horrible situation that exists in North Korea today. Surrounding those facts in a fast moving adventure that makes you appreciate the value and escape of a good book and makes you want for the main characters to exist out there in our real life.

Not his best. 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.

Oledonky

Good read. Another great book.

Octopus8$&

The Target. The best book he has ever written, the best book I've ever read.

Ecurb513

Human. One of the best books I’ve ever read.

HaloDoc

The Target. 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!

Volunteer Dave

The Target. This is a great read. I love reading David's Books.. Can't wait for the next one.

Ciapp

Disappointed. The first two books in this series were good. Not this one. Slow read. Minimal action.

Clearsky789

The Target. A wonderful book. Most intense and I could not put it down. It's a must read!!!

ADiamond59

Target. Fast read and couldn’t put it the book down

VarunArora

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.

Tnicalek

Full of Action. Very surprising and unexpected ending. Very intense!

(P&P)!

The Target. Amazing; fabulous!!!

T4bre

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"!

Gemshoes

The Target. Couldn't put it down or stop thinking about it! Great suspense.

Grayson's mom

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.

Joey washington 3

The Target. 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!?

Playsia

Third read. Can't wait for more. 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.

McSvJ

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.

Marklueders

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

Boaris57

Boo Hiss. If I had read the words Chung-Cha one more time.....

Kdpailey

Oh well. Far from a page turner. A wandering read to an underwhelming finish line Never felt any degree of edginess.

Dlewisgreen

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.

Donotuse31671

Reader. Great book. Loved the action!

Wet again

The Target. David Baldacci. 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!!

Vbestbf

Another Great One. Love these exciting characters and the journey. Fascinating international plot.

Iuirv49

The Target. Great book......

Twinepoo

Incredible!. 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!

Twilite2000

Great. Would have given 5 stars but lots of typos, otherwise this was a page turner.

Usn

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

Clearwaterdreamer

Predictable but very good. I enjoyed this book even though about half way through it was pretty obvious what would happen. Still a very good read!

Diamond*Girl

Riveting!. Intense and exciting! The plot & characters draw you in, along with the evolution of Robie & Reel's partnership. Baldacci delivered another best seller...can't wait for the next book w/this duo!

Gemaleen

The Target. I look forward to David baldacci's release. He never fails in keeping me glued to his writings

Newley fan

Perfection. Simply couldn’t put it down. Interesting characters, complicated plots that kept crossing each other, original. Don’t miss it.

Lucy B,

The Target. This was a fun read that I just could not put down. Thanks!

Cobra Kainoa

Would read again.. 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.

Gramma Noreen

The Hit. 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.

Mikeowms

Great Read. This was one of the best books I've read in a long time. Multiple story lines, interesting characters, well written.

Lime Lime

Good Read. A real page turner.

Coaster863

Wrote it for the money. 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.

Clintritchie

Great Read!. One of the saddest but most exciting and loving of the series!

Iron Captain

The Target. Long but good; 3 books in 1!

Mike 8403

Very disappointing. Have rated most of his previous books 4 stars. This one is simplistic and unimaginative.

Staynavytom

Dumb. Really dumb plot and story line if there is one.

R atzman

The Target. 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 ......

Annette Acuff

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.

TexTower

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

Iflyifr

The Target. 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

CHARLES BENNETT

The Target. Great book, great ending. Let's put the relationship between Robie and Reel into the next exciting book about these great characters. Charles B '

David Balducci at his best. Another great offering from a great thriller writer. He never disappoints. A much more lethal team than King and Maxwell. If I had one request it would be the returning members of the a Camel Club once again.

Annyminnie

Loved it. One of his best books, filled with suspense and surprising humanity and redemption.

Sommersboy

A Great Story Teller. Mr. Baldacci has a long history of writing really good stories. This is another one . If I have one criticism, it is that I think he surrendered a bit to the "more is better" author syndrome. A little too many issues thrown in. All ultimately related, yes, but really unnecessary and too much. Other than that -- which wasn't really grievous, an excellent book, another feather in the author's cap.

Jmb327

The Target. Great story well done

The Target is top notch and completely immersive. Reading this book you can soon see mr Baldacci researched the camps that exist today in North Korea.

The Target. Outstanding read. Please continue to develop Robie & Reel in future endeavors. They deserve a peaceful closure. Respectfully, David Stephenson

Dodo Granny

Avid Reader. Baldacci is a first class writer. Always. No matter the subject. May he live long and peacefully!

Cecileal0928

Awesome. This was one of Baldacci's best thrillers. From cover to cover!

JC Cincy Kid

The Target-cincy kid 68. Baldacci never fails to deliver a top notch thrill ride. Once again in his latest thriller, The Target,we get a fast paced, twist filled and plot layered read that delivers his own brand of page turning action and extraordinary suspense. I can't recommend this enough and of course greatly look forward to his next creation.

Island pita

His best ever!. I have read all of Baldacci's books and can say that this is the best he has written! So many story lines but the characters just blows you away! You must read this book!

TyraBan

His best book!. Great writing, great book.
