Cross Down: The Sunday Times bestselling thriller

Product Information

If I’m correct, this is the first time Patterson has used a co-author on this series and, IMO, a huge mistake. Cross is rushed into surgery at a nearby hospital, suffering from a collapsed ling and fighting for his life.

Can the three of them save the day and save the President from making a big mistake and trusting the wrong military to save America from utter chaos? This book is different in the sense that it focuses more on John Sampson and his investigation, while Alex Cross is man down. However, along with my previous warning, there is also one important caveat, and that is, this is entertaining as long as you put aside any expectation of realism.As a long-time fan of the Alex Cross series, I was surprised to see a collaboration with this one as it has normally always been a James Patterson standalone series. I always find it interesting to watch the series after reading the book, especially with thrillers as it helps me to see the book in a new perspective. Alex ends up in ICU and fighting for his life, John does what Alex normally would have done and heads to save the day and find out what is happening. It was a great series while it lasted; hoping that maybe, just maybe the next installment (Cross Out in 2024) will be minus a coauthor and we will see the old Alex back.

This leaves John to figure out why these attacks are happening and what the connection is between the attacks. Did not find the many new characters likeable and the more I read the more this became unbelievable and ridiculous.As I mentioned earlier, it shouldn’t be a surprise to readers, as the book cover and description were up front about it. This one with Brenden Dubois is more political-military thriller style which is fine but not a true Alex Cross style. No one gets this big without amazing natural storytelling talent - which is what Jim has, in spades. This one is fast-paced, and really features John Simpson in a rush to save the country from a looming threat.
