    Book Review “The Sixth Man” by David Baldacci

    Genre: Thriller (Sean King and Michelle Maxwell return) Buy it! Edgar Roy is really really smart.  So smart that he was selected to filter the overwhelming information from the E-Program’s “Wall” and, in that role, performed like no one else had before him.  Countless lives were saved as he deftly put random pieces of information…
