The Escape

John Puller, Book 3

De: David Baldacci

Narrado por: Ron McLarty, Orlagh Cassidy

The third title in the John Puller series to follow Zero Day and The Forgotten. Military CID investigator, John Puller, has returned from his latest case in Florida to learn that his brother, Bobby, on death row at Leavenworth Military Prison for national security crimes, has escaped.

Preliminary investigations show that he may have had help in his breakout. Now he's on the run, and in disguise, and he's the military's number-one target. John Puller has a dilemma. Which comes first, loyalty to his country or to his brother? Bobby has state secrets that certain people will literally kill for. But blood is thicker than water, and the brothers are close although even John does not know for sure what Bobby really did for the government, nor if he's even guilty of his crimes. It becomes swiftly apparent, however, that Bobby's role was powerful and far-reaching. With the help of John's long-time friend and colleague, General Julie Carson, both brothers move closer to the truth from their opposing directions. And this case puts John Puller in a place he thought he'd never be, on the other side of the law, where even his skills as an investigator, and his strength as a fighter, might not be enough to save him. And his brother.

Fabulous

Very entertaining. Beautifully narrated. Appealing superbly developed characters. Looking forward to the next in the series.

Ron and Orlagh rocked it 100%

I loved the story and the performance of Ron and Orlagh, I enjoyed the audio book and I recommend to whom ever read this review, give it a shot.. it's aweaome

Exceptional!

Another thrilling struggle between good and evil with Baldacci's hero John Puller saving the day!

Gets better with each book

Not a genre I ever thought I would enjoy American military but his heroes are well written and extremely likeable. Good plots several twists and turns and inevitable red herrings. Can't wait have the next one ready to start.

Excellent book

Excellent story and the best of the Puller series. Well structured story and excellent ending.
A must listen for crime thrillers.

OK Listen

I've read the first two and they were very fast paced from page one. This book however, was very technical and explained a lot about The Security services of the United States of America. It was a bit too detailed and wasn't as interesting as the first two. It started to pick up about half way through the book. David Baldacci is an excellent author and I commend him on his in depth knowledge. I am not disappointed, but can only give the book three stars because it was not exciting until I was truly ready to stop reading it. Turned into a much better novel with a great series of mysteries solved!

Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy were outstanding with the delivery of the story

Trust, Loyalty, Rivalry, and Espionage

The dynamic of the action, pace, and twist of this story keep you on listening.

Way too much American heroism

I found the story not credible, especially because the main characters are all oh so brilliant and incredibly skilled. For me, the amount of American army heroism is way too much in this book. So unless you’re a massive army and superhero fan, I wouldn’t recommend listening to this work full of pathos.
