Baldacci is one of my favorite authors, This is a very good story from David Baldacci, the third featuring the character John Puller.
The story will make you think. How small the world has become and what that means for all of us if there is ever a contagious bioterrorism attack is a clear theme. Robert is John's older brother, who had worked in the intelligence field and who resided at Fort Leavenworth prison during the previous two books after being convicted of espionage. The escape in the title of the book refers to the escape of Robert from prison. The book is exciting with many twists. So much happens; the action is really non-stop.
His characterization is outstanding, Baldacci has created a character who is noble, loyal, intelligent and daring but who is most importantly incredibly likeable. - I have read many writers and would put his work up against any.
This book will make you think and while it may keep you up all night to finish reading it, it may also keep you up all night when you finish because if it doesn't scare you a bit , you must not be breathing
All in all, I enjoyed The Escape greatly and recommend it.
