Editorial Reviews

For Delta Force officer Charley Castillo, there never seems to be rest. The hero of By Order of the President, The Hostage, and The Hunters is back with another fast-breaking, pulse-raising adventure. While attempting to ease the U.N. oil-for-food scandal to closure, poor Castillo is introduced to new complications in the person of a pleading young American lieutenant. As readers of W.E.B. Griffin's Presidential Agent series have learned again and again, Charley never shrinks from a dangerous assignment.

When DEA Special Agent Byron J. Timmons is kidnapped in Asunción, Paraguay, at the start of bestseller Griffin's rousing fourth presidential agent novel (after The Hunters), Timmons's grandfather asks his friend, the mayor of Chicago, for help. The mayor passes the request on to the U.S. president, who assigns his personal in-house expert, Lt. Col. C.G. Castillo, to rescue agent Timmons. Castillo is familiar with the territory, having sorted out various terrorist and drug dealer threats in South America in earlier books in the series. Castillo spends a lot of time in meetings and flying around the globe in the course of setting up the big shoot-out. After the brief, long-awaited climax, everyone pats each other on the back and gets ready for the next adventure, which is sure to pick up the loose threads left untied from the just-completed mission. In less accomplished hands, this would be a recipe for boredom, but Griffin pulls it off, leaving satisfied thriller readers hankering for more. (Jan.)
