Chronicle As Books No Safe Place (Kerry Kilcannon #1)

In the high-stakes, high-pressure world of Presidential politics, where predators carry microphones and one misstep can savage a lifetime of achievement, Kerry Kilcannon is the rarest player of all. Kilcannon believes he can make the system work. And he just may die trying. Driven by the violent nightmare of his childhood, fueled by forces that few could understand, and burdened by secrets no one must know, Kilcannon is running for President--and entering the crucial battleground of California with seven days to go. But for Kilcannon, there are hurdles that his courage, charisma, and compassion may not overcome: the network correspondent he still loves; the reporter bent on their exposure; the rival who'll do anything to win; and the fanatic who believes that he must murder Kilcannon to protect the right to life.

Notice Based On Books No Safe Place (Kerry Kilcannon #1)

The main character of this book, Presidential candidate Kerry Kilcannon, is analogous to the high-cheek boned, overly-endowed, wish-fulfillment women one often sees in fantasy novels or risque comics. A JFK by way of Martin Sheen's character in The West Wing, his politics are too incorruptible, honest and unpractical to be believed. It's as if Richard North Patterson threw every idealist trait he could find in him.I'm not necessarily complaining about this, but when one has such an unvarnished

A good read, it's not difficult to see where it's going but it's enjoyable joining the story on its journey to get there

didn't inspire me to read any more Patterson

First of all, I think the book was much too drawn out....a 500 page story that, IMO, could have been captured in about 300 (I found the repetition of his beliefs to be annoying - state them, and move on with the storyline!)Although I found the politics behind the politics interesting enough, the rather liberal bent of the main character (and perhaps the author?) was a bit too much for my particular taste (gun control, affirmative action, social programs....eh.)And, I found it difficult to "get

I usually steer clear of the political thriller genre because more often than not, they're simply thinly veiled propaganda machines for a certain particular agenda. Oh and US politics generally makes me feel nauseous at the best of times. However, this book was chosen by a book club I'm in, and not wanting to be a party pooper, I reluctantly joined in.No Safe Place was actually a fun, fast paced suspense thriller that hooked me in from the first chapter. There is some agenda pushing of course

you can run - but you cannot hide ...... kerry is a us senator and now running an election campaign hoping to be nominated for president he is up against the vice president mason and the gloves r off in this and rules can easily be broken kerry's past rises to haunt him and he has to decide what he should sacrifice - everything or nothing he rose to his current position thru the murder of his brother who was also a senator. but all the people who formed his life - both for the good and the bad -

In the tense final days of his Presidential campaign, a charismatic young senator is closing in on his party's nomination, but a past love affair is catching up with him, and a would-be assassin is moving in to fulfill his own crusade. 3.5 stars - Two suspenseful plot lines and fascinating behind-the-scenes moments of a political campaign made this an enjoyable read but, at just under 500 pages, I thought it was way too long and I could've done without many of the detailed flashbacks.
