It does bog down somewhat as Mike Ford is figuring out exactly into what kind of mess he has become entangled. The Directive is a piece of paper that comes from the Fed and says they will either keep the economy going strong or will try to slow it down. There is a plot to steal it. Mike's plan is to get married. He wants a nice stable life and is finally ready to settle down to a normal, unexciting suburban life. But Mike also has a history. A criminal history that he has worked hard to over come. His brother drags him back into trouble and gets him involved in a scheme that involves some very powerful people. The character of Mike is a very likeable and the fact that you want his life to work out is the main reason you are compelled to keep reading. Well, that and to find out if and how he pulls it all off. The Directive is a quick read and would make a great summer beach read. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Pertenece a las seriesMike Ford (2)
A pulse-pounding thriller about two brothers, billions of dollars, and the heist of a lifetime by the author of the national bestseller The 500. After escaping the corrupt back rooms of Washington, DC, Mike Ford is again playing a dangerous game -- and this time the stakes are even higher. Mike's brother is in over his head in a powerful conspiracy to steal a secret worth billions from the rarely understood, vitally important trading desk at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Trying to bail his brother out, Mike quickly finds himself playing a dangerous game, trapped into planning the heist himself, forced to call on all the skills of his criminal past in order to escape. In this sharp, fast-paced sequel to The 500, Mike Ford again stars as the cunning and courageous former con man with a big heart, and Matthew Quirk confirms that he is one of the most exciting thriller writers at work today. Matthew Quirk studied history and literature at Harvard College. After graduation, he spent five years at The Atlantic, reporting on a variety of subjects, including crime, private military contractors, the opium trade, terrorism prosecutions, and international gangs. He lives in San Diego. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
