Brief Book Summary:
Alex Cross is back--and so is the Big Bad Wolf.
Terrorists have seized the worlds largest cities. London, Washington, DC, New York, and Frankfurt will be destroyed, unless their demands are met--and their demands are impossible. After a city in the western United States is fire bombed--a practice run--Alex Cross knows that it is only a matter of time before the bombers threats to the other cities are brutally executed.
Heading up the investigation by the FBI, CIA, and Interpol, Alex Cross is stunned when surveillance photos show Geoffrey Shafer, the Weasel, near one of the bombing sites. He senses the presence of the Wolf as well, the most vicious predator he has ever battled. With millions of lives in the balance, Cross has to see if the most powerful law enforcement agencies in the world can stay ahead of these two mens cunning.

London Bridges was ordered, paid for, but never received. So I cannot review a book that I did not received

Well, I can't say I wasn't warned: "Big Bad Wolf" exhibited all of the warning signs of a once-fascinating fiction franchise going down the toilet. I should have stopped after BBW. More importantly, James Patterson should have, too. Instead, he takes the mess that was BBW, adds a stray random villain and some other leavings from previous books, stirs in a partnership between that random villain and the Big Bad Wolf that makes no sense based on what we know of either, throws in an "Alex Cross, This Is Your Life" parade of characters, adds a dash of Al Quaeda (?!), and voila! the crap casserole that is "London Bridge." Patterson can't tie up his current plot threads and he has an annoying tendency to keep re-introducing characters (such as Christine) who once served a narrative purpose but now just add pointless drama and stretch the book another 10 pages. This book is just a mess; I was really disappointed because I'd been hoping for something to redeem BBW. Also, there apparently has never been a book in history that the Publishing house's Weekly reviewers haven't loved, so posting their reviews is a waste of space.

It looks as if the scope of Patterson's Alex Cross books widened considerably when the protagonist made the switch from the Washington PD to the FBI .Cross is now no longer dealing with the national and local psycho but is a player on the global scale .Here the villains are returnees from previous novels -the Wolf (The Big Bad Wolf )and Geoffrey Shafer ,aka the Weasel (Pop Goes the Weasel).Shafer is definitely the junior partner in the alliance however and the overarching intelligence behind the terror plot to destroy London ,Tel Aviv ,Paris and New York is that of the former KCB and Red Mafia man The Wolf .The Wolf wants an enormous sum of money and the release of political prisoners are else -kapow!
The action moves between the major cities involved and the action comes thick and fast .There are false leads galore and lots of chases and shootings to keep action fans briskly turning the pages .It is never remotely plausible but most readers will willingly suspend disbelief as the thrill of the chase makes for an engrossing read.
This is a good thrilller and will be enjoyed by devotees of the genre

This book is very boring and out of focus. I was wondering if this book is written by James Patterson.

ALL of the "Alex Cross" books by James Patterson are exciting reads....I can never seem to put one of his books down! That is the only downfall to reading his books....you better have an entire day once you start one, because you will NOT be able to stop!
