About this listen

The Whole Truth by David Baldacci is a terrifying global thriller that delivers all the twists and turns, emotional drama, unforgettable characters and can't-stop-listening pacing that Baldacci fans expect – and still goes beyond anything he’s written before.

I NEED A WAR . . .

A powerful arms dealer

Nicolas Creel is a man on a mission. As the head of a major arms vendor, he is plotting a ruthless plan to supercharge his company’s profits by triggering a new cold war – and he won’t let anyone stand in his way.

An intelligence agent

Meet Shaw, a man with no first name: a shadow operative working for a multinational organization that seeks to keep the world safe from men like Creel.

An ambitious journalist

Desperate to rebuild her disgraced reputation and rise to the top of her profession, Katie James gets the break of a lifetime when she finds herself on the same path as the mysterious Shaw.

Drawn into stopping Creel’s terrifying plans, Shaw and James face a catastrophic threat that could change the world as we know it . . .

Great story, great narration. As a character, Shaw is a cross between Puller and Robie. I can see where Baldacci was going with him. Shame he only appears in a few books.

Very enjoyable altogether, likeable characters, thrilling storyline. Great narration - well worth a listen. Has the making of a great series - shame there are only two books about A. Shaw’s escapades.

Entertaining read

Very realistic for 2025 world situation - quite ironic though as it was published several years earlier. Definitely food for thought. I love the late Ron McLarty's narration. Just got the right tone for Mr Baldacci's gritty heroes. I'm a huge fan of Will Robie so this is right up my street although Robie is still the best but then I'm biased. I love the sound effects as they give drama to the scenes. Entertaining listen. Now Mr Baldacci, please give us more of Robie and Reel....

Terrifyingly apt
