1600
A wrongly accused enemy of the state, a president changing the balance of power, an administration infected by propaganda - fugitive and former presidential bodyguard Rob Stone may be US democracy’s only hope...
FBI Agent Kat Pine is heading up her first team. She has found a thread that once unraveled will clear Stone’s name, but in doing so will incriminate the most powerful man on the planet. With so much at stake she has enemies everywhere and can trust nobody.
Kathy Newman is fighting for her career and reputation. Her book clearing Stone of his crimes was pulled from the shelves by her publishers at the request of the White House, and she now faces bankruptcy. Working with Stone has come at a cost. Not only is she turned away by newspaper editors, but she is now a target for Stone’s enemies.
CIA officer Mike Rogers is close to retirement and even closer to getting away with millions in illicit funds that will make his retirement a comfortable one. With a list of assets who will kill for money, Rogers orders them to hunt down Stone before he can expose the President to clear his own name.
Former Secret Service agent Stone has been running since he was framed for multiple murders. But now he has gone full circle and is facing the enemy head-on, a man that he was once paid to protect…

One man up against the President, CIA, FBI, Secret Service and every other law enforcement agency.
If you have read the previous books in this series, then you will know Rob has been set up as the fall guy for the death of the Presidents wife and children. Even though he was miles away imprisoned on an Island and hunted as prey.
As those in power work to hide their tracks will he prevail?

Brilliant
Brilliant as always! tense, action-packed, enough romance so as not to spoil the story by getting too smutty, no bad language as it's not necessary. Editing done well, no glaring errors to interrupt the reader. Picks up from the last book in the series smoothly and leaves me anticipating a follow-on in the series l hope?

Ridiculous
I really can't recommend this book.
And Bateman takes his hatred of our administration to low-class insults.
Plus, Stone is more AI than anything else in this book. No human is that good.
Trash!
