From Goodreads:
The Deadliest Game weaves a horrifying and unthinkable tale
of a terrorist plot against U.S. consumers using a toy company and the owner as
the key to the plot's success. Blair Mulligan - divorced and still obsessing
about it - is a thirty-five-year-old executive in the toy industry who wants
nothing more than to achieve success with a brand new electronic gaming system
that has the potential to revolutionize his business. However, a sinister force
is at play, a force that threatens to wreak havoc across the United States.
Blair's six-year-old daughter is used as a pawn, and Blair must make the one
decision no father should ever have to make - to save his daughter or the lives
of several thousand other children.
My Review:
The fact that Blair is a toy manufacturer is a small part of
who he is. He is a father, friend, ex-husband,
and an extremely smart man. The people
Blair came in contact with are people that you read about or hear about on the
news. The life he was forced to live
and the things he had to endure were true life happenings to some people. The fact that his daughter got caught in the
crosshairs of these horrible people made the plot all that more
entrancing. I was hoping and praying
that she would come out okay, but deep down knowing that anyone who was living
a life like she was could not come out unscathed.
Hal Ross wrote a book unlike any that I have every read
before. It hit on the scary truth that
this world has become. There are people
out there that are this horrible. It
opened my eyes to the world of the Middle East, but I do realize that not all
people in the Middle East are like those in this book. You hear the stories on the news and read
about them in the paper, it is very scary to truly understand that they are in
the United States and taking advantage of the freedom that we as American’s are
allowed.
Once I started this book I was unable to put it down. This was a book that I thought about even
when I was not reading it and hoping to hurry back to it when I was busy with
other things. While unsure what to
really expect when I started this book, I am very happy to share this with all
my friends, male or female. This is a
murder, mystery book at its best.
