Reader Reviews:For all Patterson fans (0/0 people found this helpful)I found this book boring to begin with, but glad I continued to read out of sheer desperation, it is a brilliant book, complicated combinding terrorism with Wall Street Absolute garbage (0/0 people found this helpful)I've read a couple of James Patterson's books in the Alex Cross series and thoroughly enjoyed them so I was looking forward to sitting down and reading this book. However, I found the story extremely tedious and boring, so much so I did'nt even bother to finish it. What more can I say. Frightening prophetic (0/0 people found this helpful)This book explores what might happen to the world markets if Wall Street were largely destroyed by terrorist action. It was written well before the events of 9/11 or the recent market implosion where the damage was done from within.
A fantastic pre-Alex Cross/WMC novel from Patterson (4/4 people found this helpful)'Black Market' (also known as Black Friday) is one of the first of James Patterson's many novels, originally published back in 1986. The story begins in the early hours of a cold December day in New York City where several of the biggest banks and investment and financial buildings on Wall Street are blown up by a terrorist organisation called The Green Band, a highly skilled group of Vietnam veterans who have a personal vendetta against the United States and plan to attack in one of the worst ways possible, by causing a complete financial crash where literally billions of dollars will be lost. FBI agent Archer Carroll and Wall Street lawyer Caitlin Dillon are on the case to find out the identities and the motive behind Green Band's terrorist acts.
AMAZING AUTHOR..... (2/9 people found this helpful)I ABSOLUTELY LOVE JAMES PATTERSON BOOKS, THE FIRST I READ WAS 'ALONG CAME A SPIDER' (WHICH I BORROWED FROM A FRIEND) AND I HAVE NEVER LOOKED BACK. I'D LIKE TO WRITE A REVIEW FOR ALL OF HIS BOOKS I HAVE READ BUT THERE ARE TOO MANY SO I WILL WRITE A GENERAL REVIEW. JAMES PATTERSON WRITES IN SUCH A WAY THAT KEEPS THE WRITER GRIPPED FROM START TO FINISH, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT'S COMING NEXT. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ALL HIS BOOKS, MANY OF WHICH I SELL AT A LOW PRICE, CHECK THEM OUT. THANK YOU.
