Product Description:
On American soil, a terrorist bomb explodes at a Georgetown restaurant, killing CIA operative Kirk MGarvey's girlfriend and wounding his daughter. Now Mcgarvey seeks vengeance while at the same time struggling with the growing crisis in the Far East where a mysterious underground nuclear explosion has destroyed a power station off the coast of North Korea.
From the corridors of power in Washington to the Japanese space launch center at Tanegashima, White House tells a gripping story of suspense about one man's race to sabotage a cunning terrorist operation before it eliminates the White House-- and everyone he loves.

White House (McGarvey)
Fast, suspenseful read. One where you keep wanting to turn to the subsequent page to see what is going to happen. I'll definitely be reading more of this author.

Having read all except two of Hagberg novels I was a little bit off on this one. I guess I did enjoy it but the N.Korea/Japan/China bit kind of put me back a touch. Also you don't really blow a subs prop off of anyones and get away with it. All and all I did enjoy the book and will not make a big deal out of it not being quite as fine as most of his other work. Of course no one can be perfect all the time. Read it and see how you feel.

A friend of mine gave me this book and I picked it up since I needed a faster-paced read in the midst of moving. This book is definitely a fast-paced thriller ~~ you can't put it down.
With events beginning with a bombing in a Georgetown restaurant, Kirk Macgrevor begins the hunt for the killers and finds a conspiracy between the Japanese and unidentified sources in the White House ~~ and with the countdown of a space ship in Japan looming, Macgrevor races against time to find the killers. He writes to keep you on your toes ~~ and I thoroughly enjoyed it even though the book has left me with more questions than answers ~~ as if the last few chapters were written in a haste and no answers to be found. That is why I rate this book a 3 star ~~ something was missing.
Other than that, it is an enjoyable read. It's a great summer read ~~ it's a thriller unlike others.

I have read all of Hagberg's books and unfortunately this one is not as good as the others. It goes into the realm of too unrealistic for a thriller. This story is definitely not on par with Ludlum and Cussler.

This is my very first experience with David Hagberg. The book was good though I found it a little slow through the middle. The incident at the beginning was well written and had my hopes up for a continuing excitement level. This however tapered off somewhat through the middle of the book and then picked up with the last 1/3 when the story starts moving fairly fast.
Overall good book - I'd recommend it to others and would read other Hagberg titles.
Also: My copy (paperback) of the book fell apart. The cover came off and pages broke out of the binding.
