In the finale of Coonts’s last novel The Traitor, the ruthless and brilliant Al Qaeda leader who nearly succeeded in blowing up a meeting of the Group of 7 in Paris slipped the noose and escaped. But Abu Qasim has another trick up his sleeve: he has offered to pay a the Mafia a fortune to help him bring New York to its knees. The CIA learns that something is up and a worried president sends his best—Jake Grafton and his secret weapon, Tommy Carmellini. Tommy is soon in grave danger as he tries to piece the deadly puzzle together. Set amidst ticking bombs and flying bullets, the stakes have never been higher. Will Tommy put it all together in time t stop the disaster? Or will the terrorists set events in motion that will leave America reeling? Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Stephen Coonts "The Assassin" Thrills and ExcitesFinding spare time to read is becoming more difficult these days so I don't want to waste time with something I get nothing out of. One of the points of reading is to be entertained and Stephen Coonts "The Assassin" delivers both excitement and entertainment. I saw him promoting the book on the Colbert Report and from his description I was intrigued. I ordered the book and it totally lived up to my expectations. It involves situations based on real world events to tell a story that is captivating ... Read More Rating:  - Not his best effortSeemed like a novel that was written without much logic or background. Disjointed with many loose ends and "you've got to be kidding me" sequences Rating: - Authors should not insult their reader's intelligenceI've read nearly all of Coonts' novels and would call myself a tepid fan of his work. Coonts can range from absolutely terrific to pretty bad. "The Assassin", however, is the first Coonts novel I've ever set aside without finishing. In fact, I gave it up at page 75. Why? Because there is not a smidgen of credibility in the book. Coonts draws on recent headlines for his plot line and that becomes a part of the problem. Coonts uses the 2006 murder of Alexander Litvinenko ... Read More Rating:  - Peculiar book at bestI'm a fan of Coonts and I've tried to like this book. It gets off to a great start and the overall concept is good, but the writing takes an experimental twist that I can't warm up to. The reader is in the dark for far too much of the narrative. Jake Grafton, whom Coonts's readers have come to know over many novels, is a distant and cold enigma. Tommy Carmellini is presented in the first person while the rest of the book is in the third person. Characters are introduced just long enough ... Read More Rating: - Another great novel from CoontsThe Assassin is a great action thriller. Stephen Coonts is excellent at keeping his readers hooked in to the plot. The second half of the book is absolutely relentless action whereas the first half sets it all up nicely. All the plot points drop into place emphatically. Well recommended if you like political/action/violent thrillers.
