About this listen
Featuring a new preface read by David Baldacci.
Set at the heart of political power in Washington DC, Absolute Power was the book which launched David Baldacci's career as a worldwide bestseller of thrilling fiction. The movie, starring Clint Eastwood, was a major box office success across the world.
In a heavily guarded mansion in the Virginian countryside, professional burglar and break-in artist, Luther Whitney, is trapped behind a one-way mirror. What he witnesses destroys his faith not only in justice, but all he holds dear.
What follows is an unthinkable abuse of power and a criminal conspiracy, as a breathtaking cover-up is set in motion by those appointed to work for one of the most important people in the world – the President of the United States.

Brilliant
I've read many of david Baldacci 's books, and decided to give this a once over. The book is well narrated and paced nicely to keep you coming back for more. Possibly one of the best books I've listened to / read of all time 👍

Exactly what I was expecting!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes it is entertaining, and that's the point of these books/audiobooks after all. You don't need to think too hard about the plot or the characters as they are clearly drawn and, basically, pretty straightforward.
What did you like best about this story?
It goes at a great pace, with the next plot development very far away.
What about Scott Brick’s performance did you like?
He's the master narrator for this sort of stuff - easy to listen to for a long stretch in the car, for example.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Not moved as such, but it is satisfying when the story neatly comes to the final scene, carefully crafted throughout the book.
Any additional comments?
It you like Baldacci, or Scott Brick, then go for this one - they are both on great form.

The best of David Baldacci
Absolute Power is a masterpiece. Such a wonderful thriller full of twists and turns. A nail biter to the end.

Great story, average narrator
Great story, but the acting of the narrator is weak. Worth persisting with though as he seems to improve.

Excellent read to a fantastic story
The best read book I have ever had the pleasure to listen to. Scott Brick is an excellent narrator and he brought the story to life with all its emotions and twists as only David Baldacci could bring to put to pen and paper.

Brilliant story with cliffhangers!
It was an amazing, clever and well crafted story. Just when you thought it was concluding another incident occurred which was either unexpected or really unwanted. There were a few predictable moments - but only a very few.
I must say, although the narrator was ok, he did sound a bit monotonal or monotempoed - if that’s a word! When things got exciting, he didn’t speed up but just sounded wistful or as if it was all just inevitable.
