If you are a fan of governmental conspiracy theories, you will be captivated by this one....You are left wondering if it could possibly be????

"Black Friday" revolves around a mass terrorist plot concocted by bitter Vietnam War veterans who want vengeance against the United States government and society in general. The way to hit them where it really hurts was by attempting to strike a severe blow towards the U.S. Stock Market, and therefore, causing a crash that would severely hurt the U.S. economy. An interesting Pre 9/11 terrorist plot...Definitely not as good as previous books by Patterson.

The breathtaking suspence of Kiss the Girls and the authenticity of N.Y.P.D. Blue: Welcome to James Patterson's classic superthriller, Black Friday. A courageous federal agent, a powerful and resourceful woman lawyer-only they can possibly stop the unspeakable from happening. New York City is under seige by a secret milita group- and that's just the beginning of the relentless terror of BLACK FRIDAY.

New York city is under seige by a secret militia group, and that's just the beginning of the relentess terror of BLACK FRIDAY.
Very Good

From Publishers Weekly: "While Patterson's thriller is slightly out-of-date with its Cold War setting, it remains dramatically contemporary in its vision of a stock market thrown into chaos when a group of saboteurs blows up several Wall Street institutions. Actor Fernandez's mellow reading allows the story to unfold unhurriedly, though too slowly for the first half. Arch Carroll, head of the CIA's antiterrorist division, and Caitlin Dylan, director of enforcement for the SEC, team up professionally, and later romantically, to locate the Wall Street terrorists before they strike again. Arch travels to Paris and back (unfortunately, Fernandez, who capably reproduces other accents, has a poor grasp of French pronunciation), as he finds himself on the trail of former colonel David Hudson and his ragtag band of vengeance-seeking Vietnam veterans."

Pretty good once you get into it

This is similiar to events that have happened in our time. A very realistic book.

Another great book by Patterson involving an elite militia force attempting to take Wall Street to it's knees. Fast-paced and exciting all throughout the book.

A courageous federal agent, a powerful and resourceful woman lawyer - only they can possibly stop the unspeakable from happening. New Yourk City is under siege by a secret militia group - and that's just the beginning of the relentless terror of Black Friday.

A good read.

I thought this book was slow in the beginning. It isn't one of the best books James Patterson has written.

Good Read

If you like government conspiracy theories this book is for you. It definately makes you think about the possibilities.

Good book, but not one of James Patterson's best. Would still recommend it.

A nonstop thrill ride!

One of Patterson's better thrillers.

Lots of action and suspense.
