Book Description

From Barnes & Noble
Nicholas Creel needs a war. The head honcho at the world’s largest and
most aggressive defense contractor is hankering for a bloody hoedown
to bolster his company’s coffers. That puts him in the crosshairs of
investigative journalist Katie James and a mysterious covert op known
only as Shaw. David Baldacci’s thriller pulsates with intrigue and excitement.
From the Publisher
"Matt, I need a war."
So begins David Baldacci’s new book–a thriller unlike any he’s written
before. "Matt" is Mathew Pender, of Pender Associates–a shadowy organization
that specializes in managing seemingly impossible situations for its
clients. Sometimes, those services extend to managing–and creating–armed
conflict. When Matt Pender is asked by his client–the largest defense
contractor in the world–to manipulate two nations against each other,
a shocking and surprising series of events are set in motion that will
possibly bring the world to the brink of World War III.*
In this epic thriller with a global backdrop, David Baldacci delivers
all the twists and turns, compelling characters, and can’t-put-it-down
pacing that readers have come to expect from this master storyteller.
Publishers Weekly
If there is such a category as a guys’ audio, The Whole Truth fits the
bill perfectly. Ron McLarty’s gruff voice enhances this fast-moving
thriller as he takes the listener through barrages of deadly assaults
featuring gunfire, knives, bombs and hacksaws. He portrays Shaw, the
unwilling secret agent, as weary yet tough. Nicolas Creel, who needs
a good war to help sagging profits, comes across as appropriately cerebral
and coldhearted. While McLarty gives different accents to Anna and Katie,
otherwise, both sound alike, but he performs a variety of French and
Slavic villains in quick succession. The sound track is comparable to
a terrific cinematic score: darkly foreboding or quietly romantic when
appropriate, raising this audio to an art form and enhancing the already
gripping tale.
Ilka Gordon – Library Journal
In this thriller, Nicolas Creel, the largest arms producer in the world,
needs a war to make his products sell, so he hires Dick Pender’s PR
firm to orchestrate a new "cold war" among Russia, the United States,
and China. Shaw, the reluctant agent of a secret multinational intelligence
group, is hired to thwart Nicolas’s plans. Katie James, a Pulitzer Prizewinning
journalist who is now jobless and an alcoholic, needs a good story to
reclaim her reputation, so she follows Shaw, not knowing he has a rendezvous
with terrorists. Ron McLarty’s excellent reading captures the excitement
and suspense of Baldacci’s story and allows the listener to hear the
unique personalities of each character. The Whole Truth remains on the
New York Times best sellers list, having achieved the number 1 spot
in May.
