The Whole Truth

De: David Baldacci

Narrado por: Ron McLarty

A powerful defense contractor, a reluctant intelligence agent, and an ambitious journalist race to contain and control an international crisis that could destroy the world in this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller.

"Dick, I need a war."

Nicolas Creel is a man on a mission. He heads the world's largest defense contractor, The Ares Corporation. Dick Pender is the man Creel retains to "perception manage" his company to even more riches by manipulating international conflicts. But Creel may have an even grander plan in mind.

Shaw, a man with no first name and a truly unique past, has a different agenda. Reluctantly doing the bidding of a secret multi-national intelligence agency, he travels the globe to keep it safe and at peace.

Desperate to get back to the top of her profession, Katie James gets the break of a lifetime: the chance to interview the sole survivor of a massacre that has left every nation stunned.

In David Baldacci's first international thriller, these characters face a catastrophic threat that could change the world as we know it.

Great!

this was a great audio book, I found myself sitting in the car after I got home still listening cuz I just couldn't stop listening.

Shaw or Sean, very much the same

Enjoyable story but a little predictable - Boy meets girl... I like most of Baldacci's books, but I ask myself why create a new character, Shaw, who is so much like Sean (a previous character) of "Simple Genius"? And a story that is so obviously designed for ongoing sequels. At least Simple Genius offered a few unforeseen twists and turns which this book (Whole Truth) did not.

Great fast moving story

Terrific story and fast moving. I listen to a lot of audio books and the whole truth has some very gripping moments and a few surprises.

Another great story ! A very

real adventure and so believe able in the world we live in today. It is hard to put down once you are hooked.

Another good read

Government conspiracy, action, romance, This book has it all. Baldacci does another great job of writing a compelling book that’s hard to put down.

Pulp fiction at its tackiest.

Over the top plot, shallow characters, clichés galore; it all just sophomoric bad writing. I rarely write reviews, only bothering to do so for truly exceptionally good books, in this, a first, for an exceptionally bad one, Hope it will help save some discerning readers’ time. My apologies to the author, I’m sure he iwill be crying all the way to the bank.

The whole truth is half a story

I detest abridged stories, and this is no exception. What has been omitted exceeds what has been included, and the reader/listener has been victimized by the creators of half a story
