Books The Shooters
Books and Publications Average Rating:

Rating: - Plot, what plot?
WEB Griffin has been my favorite author for the last twenty years, his Honor Bond and Corps series are fantastic, as is most of the Brotherhood of War. I'm not as fond of the new Presidential Agent series, they tend to have slow plot development that never quiet deliver the excitement you might expect.

This is the "least good" so far of this series, its fair at best. The plot in this book really doesn't make since, I wont spoil it for those who will read the book, but the US Government just doesn't work this way, the "Super Special Rich Guy President's Pet Spy Agency Club", just come on, really, are you serious.

The "Life Styles of the Rich and Famous" plot element that Griffin uses in EVERY book is getting tired, but the taking your pet dog everywhere you go during secret missions on your luxury jet planes, and no one having a problem with it because your so rich and dashing, is a bit much. Oh, and what's with the repeated dog going to the bathroom stuff, why is this fascinating?

I think there is a plot, besides rich guy and is peeing dog, a sub plot I guess about a kidnapped DEA Agent, but that's secondary to the main story about...

And as average as this book is, it is still better than most of the stuff out there, Griffin writes in an enjoyable style that is eminently pleasing, it's simply fun reading, well if you don't pay attention to the plot.

Rating: - !'m about done
I'm about done with this author. I've read everything he has written in all of his series. The earlier works were great. Lately, (I have read that his son is doing most of the writing), the books are not nearly as well written as the earlier ones.
Ditto all the previous reviewers have said about re-hashing all the previous books in this series. It's almost as if each book had to stand alone for readers who have not read any of the earlier ones in the series.
The minor thing that has irked me the most is Griffin's absolutely amazing over use of the phrase vis-a-vis. I want to throw the book across the room every time he uses it - it seems like about every other page.

Rating: - Best in Class
This novel is fourth in the Presidental Agent novels and like the three before delivers from page one and leaves you wanting more as the last page is turned. Charley Castillo is a modern day cowboy sent out at a moments notice to get the bad guys. Thank you Mr. Griffin for these wonderful books.

Like all of Mr. Griffin's books, I could not put it down. I cannot wait for the next installment.
