        November 12, 2007
        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.

        December 1, 2007
        Charlie Castillo, the rough-and-ready Delta Force officer, returns with his troubleshooting team to find a missing DEA agent in the latest Presidential Agent thriller. As usual, thenovel is heavy on action and tough-guy dialogue and light on subtlety?but that's OK because it's what fans of Griffin's many military thrillers have come to expect. They also expect plot twists, and the author doesn?t disappoint here. Griffin is a solid, dependable writer who never reaches beyond his grasp, never strays too far from the formula that's proven successful for him so many times in the past. This one delivers the expected goods in the expected way.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2007, American Library Association.)
