Pretty good

3 stories. The first 2 were terrific. The last was about outer space and that’s just not my “thing”. But it was entertaining.

Night Reader

Ejoyable. Good book to read while relaxing on the weekend or after a long day at work.

Didn't meet expectations

When I see a Patterson book, even with co-authors, I expect an enthralling story that gives me those mixed feelings of anticipating how it ends and dreading it coming to an end. None of the stories in this anthology dis that for me.

pretty good I enjoyed the story. kept me involed

the 2nd story was the best it was fast past and exciting. and characters seemed real.

The stories had great potential, but...

For the first two books, I wondered if people are as foolish as the main characters were. The last book was a bit corny, I am sure it was trying to be inspiring, but seemed implausible. The narration was great though.
