Blowback: A Thriller by James Patterson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
James Patterson is the best and this is a lots-of-twists thriller with believable characters. An autocratic, rules-don’t-apply-to-me president has decided the enemies of America must be punished so he sets up his own CIA operations, foreign and domestic, without messy approval of congress or cabinet. He’s about to burst into World War III but since we all survive we know somebody, somehow stops this maniac. The details in his operations are amazing. The believability is part of what makes it so scary.
