    About this audiobook

    When terrorists attack Boston, Louis Massina races against time to save the city with a high-tech counteroffensive . . .

    On Easter Sunday morning, the city of Boston is struck by a widespread and coordinated series of terrorist attacks: an explosion in the T, a suicide bomber at Back Bay Police Station, and heavily armed gunmen taking hostages at the Patriot Hotel.

    For robotics innovator Louis Massina, aka the Puppet Master, this is far more personal than a savage act of political terrorism. Boston is his city—and one of his employees, Chelsea Goodman, is among the hostages facing certain death. As Chelsea fights from the inside, Massina leads his team of tech geniuses at Smart Metal to deploy every bot, drone, and cyber weapon at their disposal to defeat the fanatics and save his city and friend.

    That's step one. Step two: Find the twisted mastermind behind the attacks and make him pay.

      Just "Okay"....pretty good story line with a lot of good background 'color; but I think the author had too much going on! There were a bit too many bad-guys! I believe this was written by ghost-writer (?) Michael Gruber. I sensed this same 'over-wrought-plot-line' problem in some of Gruber's other books. #Gruber

      This is a thriller written by a lawyer. Wait! Come back! It's not boring like most lawyerly fiction is!Butch and Marlene, Tanenbaum's married sleuths, are back again and they're in fine fettle. I liked them when I first encountered them in No Lesser Plea quite a long time ago. They're a little Nick-and-Nora-y, but they strike out into new territory because she's got one helluva scary job: She's a protection specialist for abused women in jeopardy.Wait! Come back! It's not like a Lifetime movie, I promise!Butch and Marlene are facing off against the two scariest and cruelest entities on Planet Earth in this book. No, not Simon Cowell and Nina Garcia! The Mafia and the Chinese tongs. They poke their collective nose into what seems like a box-stock hit on a capo after their 12-year-old witnesses part of the war that led to the hit. Now she's a target, and so now it's Close to Home.It's a taut, well-made thriller, and the stakes could NOT be higher. No, you don't need to read the books in order...this one would make a great place to start, for example. Tanenbaum made the leap from book-at-a-time good to series good a while ago. This 11-year-old outing is no exception.
