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.

A few chapters in I was about to throw in the towel. I found it a bit hard going, and wondered how this could last for 19 hours, but I persevered, and I'm glad I did. Once the story line got traction, i was hooked. Brilliant storyline full of twists and turns.

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

Great story, average narrator

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.

Excellent read to a fantastic story

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.

Brilliant story with cliffhangers!

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 👍
