Description

The secretary of state has been kidnapped by Islamic extremists and his only hope for survival is a reconstituted Presidential Agent team in this revival of W. E. B. Griffin's New York Times bestselling series.

Secretary of State Frank Malone has been kidnapped from his Cairo hotel—his security detail wiped out. President Natalie Cohen is left with several unacceptable options. It's time to think outside the box, and that can only mean one thing: the revival of the Presidential Agent program.

Cohen calls for Charley Castillo to come out of retirement to direct a new Presidential Agent, one Captain P. K. "Pick" McCoy, USMC. Charley may be too old to kick down doors and take names, but Killer McCoy is just the man to get the job done.

Together, they will track the kidnapped secretary from Cairo to sub-Saharan Africa. The only problem is that one man can't hope to win against an army of terrorists...good thing there are two of them.

    Zero stars. Soooo disappointing! The Griffin franchise should make sure a new author at least reads the books he is trying to base the story on. No relation to either of the previous series. It seems the author wrote a random military action story and then asked for the rights to make it a mckoy/castillo knockoff without knowing anything about those great series. Book is a shame on the memory of WEB Griffin, he never would have put his name on it!

  • A page turner

    A page turner for sure. But: also a well crafted thread of team formation where people come together and have to all quickly assess each other’s skills and form a trusting relation while on a life and death situation.

    Ok read but some very complex detail in places. Book could have been somewhere shorter and still conveyed the same ideas and basic themes.

  • Basically a good read. Little slow at first.

    It was a little slow but it got better. Not a bad read

  • Not W.E.B. GRIFFIN but still hard to put down

    It was nice not to have to read through a quarter of the book rehashing previous stories. The somewhat elliptical references were useful to tie this to past series without bogging down the story line. Indeed, the book was to put down with excellent transitions to the next chapter. I look forward to a continuation of this restart of Presidential Agents. BTW, I read the previous reviews but took a chance (and am glad I did). I wonder about the agenda of those reviewers. OK, so the authors didn’t get all the details from the Corps series (and exactly how many Marines made ace during Vietnam?), but that impacts the present storyline how?

  • Completely not worth it….

    It’s like the new authors didn’t read the “Presidential Agent” series. I wanted to like this and was sorely disappointed. Don’t waste your time.

  • Great Read

    This is a great read. I have finished most of Mr. Griffin’s work. This is the same quality book.
