Covert Warriors (Presidential Agent Novels)by W E B Griffin
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Charley Castillo and the former members of Presidential Agent’s Office of Organizational Analysis are officially “retired.” But that doesn’t mean they’re out of action…
At a Mexican roadblock, a US Embassy SUV is stopped at gunpoint, three of its passengers murdered, and a fourth kidnapped. Everything points to the drug cartels, especially when the kidnappers say they will return the hostage if a cartel kingpin is released from US federal prison. But when word gets to Castillo and his group of retired spies and special operators, they have their doubts. They believe that it's a diversion—that the murders and kidnapping were ordered by someone to lure Castillo & Company to their deaths. But even knowing that may not save them. Powerful forces in the US government are arrayed against them as well, and if one side doesn't get them...the other side will. Review:"The leisurely seventh presidential agent thriller starring Lt. Col. Charley Castillo from Griffin and Butterworth (after 2010's The Outlaws) opens with a bang. Mexican federales stop two U.S. Special Forces officers and two DEA agents at a roadblock near Acapulco, order them out of their SUV despite their diplomatic license plates, and shoot three of them dead, taking Lt. Col. James Ferris prisoner. It appears the drug cartels have Ferris, but Charley figures out that his arch enemy, Vladimir Putin — yes, that Vladimir Putin — is behind the attack. Charley's other enemy, U.S. president Zeke Clendennen, decides to rescue Ferris in an operation that's sure to get the man killed. Charley must snatch Ferris before the president can screw everything up. As usual, the authors exhaustively outline what's happened in earlier books, then lay out a plan that's swiftly implemented at the very end. Even loyal series fans may be weary of this formula by now." Publishers Weekly Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
Synopsis:Unabridged, 15 CDs, 19 hours Read by TBA The thrilling new novel in the #1 New York Times-bestselling seris. Synopsis:The thrilling new novel in the #1 New York Times- bestselling series. There's an uneasy and unholy alliance building across the Caribbean. Few in the U.S. government want to believe that a Third World country and its chest-thumping leader could pose a credible threat-but then why are the Chinese helping to train its special forces? Why are the Russians helping to build a nuclear power plant? Charley Castillo and his men go in to investigate, but they have no idea what they have just gotten themselves into. By the time they finish connecting the dots, they will be on the hit lists of the Kremlin, the Cubans, the Venezuelans, and the drug cartels-and totally out on their own. Whatever happens next, they'll have to do it by themselves. About the AuthorWilliam E. Butterworth IV has worked closely with his father, W.E.B.
