    About this audiobook

    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.

    • 4/5
      An excellent thriller with some thought-provoking themes.
    • 4/5
      I'm on a roll of political thrillers and this is a pretty good one. Kerry Kilcannon is running for President. Today's real politics is so full of astounding plots that fiction along the same lines doesn't even feel like fiction most of the time. Such is the case with this. But, it is a good story.
    • 2/5
      No Safe Place is a political thriller that has no interest in realism or believability. In this convoluted story line, Kerry Kilcannon is a senator whose brother is killed while running for the White House. He decides on his own run, even though he has an affair with a reporter that can bring him down. Also, in his past, he saved a boy from his father who wanted to kill him. Now the same boy wants to kill Kilcannon for his position on abortion. Yes, the plot is as ridiculous as that sounds.This novel is weak and barely readable. Obviously Patterson doesn’t care about whether or not his readers will buy into his plot. There was very little about this novel that I liked. Kilcannon is a weak character and the plot went from bad to worse. This is a novel that you will want to skip.Carl Alves – author of Blood Street

      don’t usually enjoy political campaign stories but No Safe Place by Richard North Patterson was so enriched with back story that I loved it. Knowing that Kerry Kilcannon, Presidential candidate had an abusive father and a brother so handsome that he was jealous makes you understand his actions. Knowing about his loveless marriage and feeling of isolation helps you know why he started an affair with Lara Costello. Kerry Kilcannon despite his poor background reminded me of JFK with all his idealism. That is not a bad thing. I think I would have voted for him. Important political issues are raised, the right to have guns versus gun control and abortion versus the right to life. The arguments for both sides were well handled. Also being in the public eye was subtly worked in.The reader of the tape cassette, Patricia Kalember did an excellent job with the voices of men and women. Anytime that I forget the sex of the reader I count it as a winner. Since this book is so long, I think it is best to relax and listen to than read it this time. This was an abridgement which helps too.
    • 5/5
      Loved it! Read it a while back but remember thinking that it's one of the best books I had ever read.
    • 3/5
      Too long. Character development was extremely superficial for the amount of time devoted to it. The plot was barely there and some scenes were taken out of Private Screening and inserted here which was disconcerting.I would advise that if you are not a Bush Sr fan to skip reading the ackowledgements at the endof the book, especially if you have any intention of reading the sequel.
    • 4/5
      The first book in the "Kerry Killcannon" series. The book delves into the politics of runing for president. Kerry's oponent is using underhanded tricks to try and defeat him. Someone is trying to bring an old afair he had into the debates. Vice president Mason is using all the tricks he can. Also, a killer stalks him and plans to kill Kerry because of his suppoesed view on abortion. The effects of special interest groups and how they distort the politics of an election are presented.
    • 3/5
      Beach book. Elizabeth bought it & I needed another book, so I read it. Turned out to be a soap opera--inspite of a purportedly male author. It was a great read, so I finished it, but the story turned out to be pretty uninteresting.
