None.  booklover3258 | May 17, 2013 |  It was OK but not great. Other than the main character of Alex Cross, the characters were all new as the majority of the story takes place in Africa. This story just did not grab me the way others have. (  ) dlinglis | Apr 21, 2013 | I am usually an avid reader of Patterson's book, particularly the Alex Cross ones, but this book was a huge disappointment. So much so, I'm not sure I'll be picking up any more Cross books to read. Apart from being unable to get past the ridiculous set up of Cross going to Africa on his own with little information to guide him there were too many situations where I'm surprised he survived and carried on. I spent the whole book desperate to get to the end just so I could finish it and be free of it. This was not true to the Cross character I have grown to love reading about. (  ) Sahara20 | Apr 16, 2013 | This book is about Alex Cross who investigates a murder that takes him all over the world. I think that this is a solid book that has a good beginning fair middle and a happy ending. This audio book was bought from Great Escape (  ) sallyawolf | Feb 25, 2013 | Thin, thin, thin. I gave it two stars because I did, actually, finish it, but I'm not entirely sure why. It seemed more like a passion project about the atrocities in various African nations rather than an actual plot-driven book. And although the descriptions of what is going on in other parts of the world was sobering, it was hard to care enough about the characters to be affected in the way that I should have.
