The TARGET by David Baldacci *****

This was a good book, had all the ingredients and not an overflow of unnecessary people to memorize. The only complaint is the either all the descriptions of the people were so subtle I missed them or he didn't bother with hair or eye color or much on body type. But I don't really read for that anyway.

Two ongoing stories. One is about a female named Chung Cha-an assassin from a hell hole in North Korea who is eventually sent to the US with a child she pulled out of another hell hole (sort of concentration camps where everyone is beaten and rewarded for ratting each other out. Chung Cha was forced by the camp guards to kill her family lined up, tied and with targets drawn on them. I leave you the details. She's the State assassin.

The second story is about Jessica Reel and Will Robie protecting the good 'ol USA from bad guys. In the end they meet up with Chung Cha and you'll have to read the book for the ending. Not giving it away. Would buy it.
