Will there be another Shaw book? Soo great!
If we knew why he stopped them then maybe we could answer this?.
My guess is that shaw was too much like Reacher. I thought Shaw was better.
Will there be any more John Puller books. I’ve just finished the last in the series and I neeeeeeeeeed more. They are so good.
Puller joins Atlee Pines in her third book
Purchased Baldacci’s Novel the winner Have since tried to find Books1 the dream And Books 2The killers These preceded by the
novel The Winner where can I locate and buy The Dream & The Killer?
Hi William – are you thinking of another author? David never wrote books with those titles and The Winner is a standalone novel.
Will their be a fourth Atlee Pine book.
Based on the popularity of the series I would say that is very likely.
Isn’t Mercy #4?
Yes. At the time of the question there were only 3 books.
Love your books
Is there a printer friendly list of the Baldacci books in groups
I finally got through “Long Road to Mercy,” and it is the worst book, of David Baldacci, that I have ever read! I have serious doubts that David wrote the book!!
Finally read “Absolute Power” a couple of months ago; first time, I think, that I have ever liked the movie better than the book.🙍♀️
I’ll take the book over the movie anyday. My imagination is so good I can not tell if I read a book or saw a movie.
I am looking forward to reading “Absolute Power. “
Just read and struggled to finish ” Simple Genius”. A King & Maxwell book for which I have read the earlier books but, for me, this is rubbish. I realise it may annoy some of you but I found the plot confusing, mixed up and sections of the book…well, some parts of the plot are just dropped in and the reader is expected to accept and continue reading……not for me and he can do better
The suspense is always intriguing especially Will Robie great characters
JUS FINISHED THE ESCAPE. ONE OF THE BEST AND I HAVE READ MOST OF BOOKS WRITTEN BY DAVID BALDACCI. GOO’D READ NOW MY HUSBAND WHO REALLY ISN’T MUCH OF A READER CAN’T LAY IT DOWN!
What series does the forthcoming Memory Man fit into?
It’s a standalone. I’ll have that added here soon.
Thanks, much appreciated!
I’m sorry I didn’t add this sooner. It’s actually the start of the Amos Decker series.
I enjoyed king and maxwell. Are there going to be any more of them
The Target should be under Will Robie, not standalone.
You’re right. Thank you.
The Winner, Absolute Power and Saving Faith are absolutely phenomenal, but I liked his books better before he got into the whole “series” thing.
I’ve enjoyed the Oliver Stone books so much. Will there be another after Hell’s Corner?
I’m sure there will be. It’s a very popular series – David just has other series of books as well as standalones he tends to like to write as well. Based on his publication schedule, I expect a new one to be out in the Fall, or early 2012.
