This is the fourth paperback in the 4400 series. After the show was cancelled I didn't think I'd ever know what happened after Jordan Collier took Seattle, the four books provide an excellent ending, the last two specifically. The exciting action and humour of the series is retained by the author as well as some amazing visual scenes.
The last few chapters are particularly exciting and the ending was amazing. Definitely worth a buy for anyone who watched the show.

4400 Continuing Saga
24 Nov 2009
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Following the events in The 4400: Welcome to Promise City, tension is escalating between the US government and Jordan Collier promicin-positive followers. And the 4400's greatest foe, the Marked, have devised a plan to wipe out the p-positive, but countless innocents will die as well.
David Mack and Pocket Books have finally given fans of the show the resolution we have been waiting for, since its untimely cancellation. The characters have changed and developed, but not beyond reason. And suspenseful as ever, this latest installment has Agents Baldwin and Skouris making the most difficult decisions of their lives. They must choose sides and risk everything. And, ultimately, Kyle's prediction of the fate of the world lying with Tom Baldwin comes to a head.
With all of the characters we've come to know and love, Mack has skillfully rendered each with believability and soul. The story is gripping and fast-paced, with a climatic ending that no 4400 fan should miss. And while there is a satisfying ending to the overall story arc, there is plenty left open for future accounts and other avenues to explore. This was a fantastic conclusion to an incredible series. And I, for one, would love to see it continue on in further novels, particularly if the same authors return.

Not Earth-Shattering, But Not Bad
11 Jan 2011
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I wish I had known before I started that the ending was going to be left open for more books. Silly me, to think it would be anything *but.* I'm already hopelessly behind on Star Trek Vanguard, so why not The 4400?
Still, this wasn't bad. David Mack's in-your-face manner of writing kept it from becoming too dull. Already having a good idea of what the setting and characters "looked" like from the television series, Mack's words were easy to visualize as live action. Mack also included enough backstory to keep us (with weak memories for every single detail) reminded of who was who.
I'd say the outcome was predictable, even with its open end, but it was fun and entertaining getting there! What more could anyone want?
All in all, if you were a fan of the show, you'll like this book. If you were a Big 'ol Fan who wants to see it through to the bitter end, read it to the end. However, if you don't want to get sucked into what they're apparently calling the "Second Saga" of The 4400, I recommend you skip the final chapter (50).
Nice on the Rush T-shirt. Did Maia borrow that from Mack himself? Hee.

Solid ending to a great series.
27 Sep 2010
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
As a huge fan of the series, I was disappointed when it was cancelled. However, the two 4400 books "Welcome to Promise City and this one "Promises Broken" did a good job of giving us a certain amount of closure, while still leaving us something to wonder about.
These are quick, fun reads. I believe that any fan of the show will enjoy both of these! Definitely worth the cost!
