About this listen

From the bestselling author of The President Is Missing, an undercover CIA officer has seven days to save her country—and her family—from the world’s most dangerous double-agent.

Agent Amy Cornwall excels at working from the shadows—until a botched field operation reveals dark dealings between her bosses and an informant. And a hidden plot by a terrorist genius that could kill thousands of Americans. Among them: her husband and daughter.

She has to go dark. The Division wants to erase her. And they know every detail about her identity, her history, and her family.

Agent Cornwall's countdown has begun.©2023 James Patterson and Brendan DuBois (P)2023 Little, Brown & Company

I never leave reviews on books, but the way this book concluded I felt it is my civic duty to save someone the time of reading it. The ending was so unsatisfying, and it could’ve been handled in a variety of ways that would’ve made it much more entertaining. The plot and characters relied heavily on worn out tropes that you can read in any modern spy novel. Nothing new to see here. Disappointing. That said, Ellen Archer did an excellent job with narration as usual.

Completely Unsatisfying

I am always looking for and rarely finding stories about tough soldier women. This was great fun and well done by the writers and the narrator. I hope there's a sequel, we need more of these strong women characters.

Intense

Horrible ending. Not at all what I expected from this author.
Will not recommend this

Bad ending

Best James Patterson story in awhile. Very suspenseful and engaging. I hope that they make a series of the CIA operative.

Great story

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

The writing was uneven. The storyline was choppy. The entire story plot was dubious.
Female narrators often become a bit screechy trying to read exciting parts.
The main character is a woman. That's about all that was accomplished in this book.

Not the author's best work.

Thrilling

Ididnot the pushing for women’s equality into sp specialized combat duty , or it takes great string and stamina

This makes our CIA look really bad and incompetent. I hope that’s not the case.

I believe this was one of his best!
A solid plot, fast action, good narrator and the book held my attention for all the above reasons.

One of his best!

When the book 1st started, I was uncertain if it was going to be a good one. But in typical James Patterson style, it grabbed me pretty quickly and held me all the way through. Fun, story and lots of intrigue. Easy to stay engaged. Another good one.

At first I wasn’t sure
