Editorial Review:
"Dick, I need a war."
Nicolas Creel is a man on a mission. He heads up the world's largest defense contractor, The Ares Corporation. Dick Pender is the man Creel retains to "perception manage" his company to even more riches by manipulating international conflicts. But Creel may have an even grander plan in mind.
Shaw, a man with no first name and a truly unique past, has a different agenda. Reluctantly doing the bidding of a secret multi-national intelligence agency, he travels the globe to keep it safe and at peace.
Willing to do anything to get back to the top of her profession, Katie James is a journalist who has just gotten the break of a lifetime: the chance to interview the sole survivor of a massacre that has left every nation stunned.
In this terrifying, global thriller, these characters' lives will collide head-on as a series of events is set in motion that could change the world as we know it. An utterly spellbinding story that feels all too real, THE WHOLE TRUTH delivers all the twists and turns, emotional drama, unforgettable characters, and can't-put-it-down pacing that readers expect from David Baldacci-and still goes beyond anything he's written before.
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Improbable Characters
I like this author. His new book held me to the end, but I couldn't relate to the "super-sized" hero and the improbable story line. Some of his other books are much more entertaining. The plot in this book is weak.
Rating:  - Definitely a five star read
I really enjoyed this book tremendously, intelligent writing, interesting and intricate plot, excellent character development, and most of all, quite believable!
I highly recommend this one especially if you are an adventure-thriller fan. The way the various geographical events are tied in make for a fascinating reading.
Rating: - A Wild, Wonderful Book Ride
This is what a thriller should be!
Enjoyment plus education--"The Whole Truth" brings you into the military arms world and the interesting new field of perception management (making "truth" for a wealthy client by manipulating the media, especially via the Internet).
In his recent bestseller (TWT), Baldacci serves a literary feast of:
1) fast-paced action around the Globe;
2) sharp, clever sentences like "Those experiences gave him armor for skin.";
3) ... Read More
Rating: - Baldacci can do better
I enjoyed The Whole Truth less than any book David Baldacci has written, and I have read most of his previous efforts. The story is is stretch in terms of believability and it is very slow to develop. If this is an effort to develop a Mitch Rapp(Vince Flynn) type character, it was a failure.
Rating: - Really good read!!
I always love his books and this one is no exception. I sent the last two to my husband in Iraq and told him to pass it on when he was done with it to whoever wanted it, and it made it all over the base. This one is going there too, in the next box. This is a book that I did not want to put down and was sad when it was over. Even if you have not read the last two, this is a prequel and stands alone without the others.
