Conspiracy theorists unite - this is a stupid book about Washington and a rag-tag bunch of conspiracy theorists. Why are all conspiracy theorists portrayed as psychotic, near homeless, idiot savants, and socially inept geeks and they are tossed in with a few former CIA operatives who "disappeared" off the databases and thus have the moxy and know-how to lead the idiot tribe to solving high crimes? It's like the saying that all good men are either married or gay.
Anyhow, another 400 pages that you get so far into that it seems too much to bear to give up and quit at page 380 because you are in the thick of something you know will resolve in the net 20 pages or so and you've already taken this much time to commit and...you don't want to be a quitter...and damn it, if he can save it in these last few pages then you'll think that the book was worth it. However, it sucks at the end as it much as does at page 380.
Well, at least this guy's consistent - this tasted a lot like Absolute Power, but with a dry finish. I am done with David Baldacci, and have given the books to my 15 year old son, who will think they're plausible and cool all at the same time.
