"The Target", lstest book by David Baldacci. This is the third book in Will Robie series, is published in 2014 by Pan Macmillan India and has 400 pages.
Will Robie and Jessica Real, both CIA assassins, are now on the same sides, good friends and partner. Director of CIA is still livid at Jessica for killing two CIA employees in last book and makes an elaborate plan to teach them a lesson.
President of America has hatched a plot with General Pak of North Korea to assassinate superme leader and take over the power. But the plot in unearthed by a lady operative of North Korea. General Pak commits suicide. General Pak's family is sent to labor camp. Robie and Real are sent to rescue them. They succeed. North Koreans device a daredevil plan to teach lesson to the Americans, lead by the lady assassin who unearthed General Pak's betrayal.
What is the plan? Will it succeed? Are Robie and Real involved? How well Americans retaliate? Is there a romance? Who is the target?
This book does not have one story. There are three stories in the book with General Pak's betrayal, neo Nazi gang and North Korean attack. As a result the story appears jack of all trades and a bit unorganized. Baldacci's writing style in this book is not as good as pervious book.
Book ends with a hint of Robie and Real getting together. Seeds of next book are sown in the form of stand off between America and North Korea as well as Jessica's personal issues.
Read if you have spare time otherwise give it a miss.
