About this ebook

The world's greatest assassins are on a high-risk mission for the President--but a powerful mastermind wants them dead in this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller.

The President knows it's a perilous, high-risk assignment. If he gives the order, he has the opportunity to take down a global menace, once and for all. If the mission fails, he would face certain impeachment, and the threats against the nation would multiply. So the president turns to the one team that can pull off the impossible: Will Robie and his partner, Jessica Reel.

Together, Robie and Reel's talents as assassins are unmatched. But there are some in power who don't trust the pair. They doubt their willingness to follow orders. And they will do anything to see that the two assassins succeed, but that they do not survive.

As they prepare for their mission, Reel faces a personal crisis that could well lead old enemies right to her doorstep, resurrecting the ghosts of her earlier life and bringing stark danger to all those close to her. And all the while, Robie and Reel are stalked by a new adversary: an unknown and unlikely assassin, a woman who has trained her entire life to kill, and who has her own list of targets--a list that includes Will Robie and Jessica Reel.

Ratings and reviews

I am so mad again. Yes it happened to me again. I had about twelve lines typed bragging about "The Target", and my finger brushed the page and it disappered. This was a Great book, even dampened my eyes. Waiting on the next one. God bless you

Missing pages 201 & 202. Now missing page 230 & 231....fun! Wonderful! Now at the end of chapter 57, I am missing pages 282-285. Can it get any better?

Definitely one of the better books I've read that is filled with conspiracy and retribution. In my opinion, The Target, is the best of all three novel's in the Series. I will most certainly have to check out the next upcoming one, if there will be a fourth read.
