Publisher Description
The former Presidential Agent’s Office of Organizational Analysis has been disbanded. Charley Castillo and his colleagues have retired, and the sudden death of the President has brought an adversarial Commander-in-Chief into the Oval Office...
But just because Castillo is out of the government doesn’t mean he’s out of business. He still has the skills and the manpower to do what others can’t or won’t do. And his first job is a real killer. A barrel filled with some nightmarishly lethal biohazard material has been shipped to an Army medical lab—material that Castillo and his men were supposed to have destroyed on a mission. Clearly, the message is that more of the deadly material remains.
But who has it? And what do they want? With lives at stake—including his own—Castillo knows that he’s not going to like the answers one damn bit...
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Griffin and Butterworth's long and exceedingly detailed sixth presidential agent thriller (after Black Ops), the U.S. president has ordered Lt. Col. Carlos "Charley" Castillo to disband his secret organization, the Office of Organizational Analysis, and to "fall off the face of the earth." When the president dies of a ruptured aorta, Charley elects instead to reorganize his outfit. He soon becomes entangled in intrigue involving several barrels of virulent biological weaponry and a demand from Vladimir Putin to return the two Russian spies who defected in Black Ops. The new U.S. president, who hates Charley's guts, wants to turn him over to Putin along with the two defectors. Charley and his intrepid gang engage in meticulous planning, fill in the backstory, banter among themselves, and fly around in exotic planes. Series fans who love these characters will find the novel fulfilling; newcomers and those expecting a big payoff will be disappointed.
Customer Reviews
excellent!
Well done, WEB! Enjoyed it a great deal.
Starting to hate co authored books
It's clearly not as good as others in the presidents agent line. But still a better read than some of the other co written books that have come out as of late. It's not W.E.B's usual quality but at least his "co-writer" has W.E.B's style down to a respectable quality. But I'm still unhappy with the cost of these co written books and not getting the big named authors work. And FYI to the publishing companies, your are too greedy! The price for a digital book which you don't have to print or ship has to come down. You need to offer some one buying the hard cover a digital copy download with it. I miss adding the hard cover copy to my library after reading it and your nuts if you think I'm going to pay full price again for the same book.
True to form
As a reader of all books written by W.E.B. Griffin, as the books be for I very much enjoyed this one and look forward to the next.
