David Baldacci’s The Target, the third installment in the Will Robie series, involves an assassination with high suspense, endangering the entire nation with Robie and Reel back in action.The president, the director of the CIA and the president's national security adviser meet in secret to hatch a plot to kill the dangerous and unpredictable leader of North Korea. If the mission goes wrong, the president could face impeachment and worse.Evan Tucker, the CIA head, decides to use Robie and Reel, whose last mission ended in the deaths of other agency personnel. They are sent to the Burner Box, a training facility in rural North Carolina, for rigorous training, where they're subjected to everything from near-fatal waterboarding to food and sleep deprivation. When a North Korean operative discovers the mission and blows it out of the water, Robie and Reel are sent to clean up the mess.I have read many of Baldacci’s novels and The Target was my least favorite in this series. The novel started out with a great set up and is action packed, quite compelling; however, the failed strike at North Korea was drawn out and lost my attention. Then it dives into Reel’s neo-Nazi past, her father, as she relives the ghosts of her past, which was further distracting, threatening them both, then the remainder is the Korean storyline.The main action was the unknown and unlikely assassin, a woman who has trained her entire life to kill who has her own list of targets. Covering a great of territory, The Target from Alabama's death row, NC, NYC, Nantucket, Paris, and North Korea, plus more.
