This is the 2nd book I read of W.E.B. Griffin, I don't recall the first, but I could say that I did like this book because of its change of events. However, like all his books he is too technical where it times you want to scream "COME ON GET ON WITH IT". However this was a good page turner.

When a Boeing 727 is violently hijacked from Angola and flown to parts unknown, the security agencies of the US race to find out what happened, only to descend into power struggles. Fed up, the President turns to an outsider--Major Carlos Guillermo Castillo. A pilot, West Point graduate, and veteran of Desert Storm, Castillo has a sharp eye for the facts--and the reality behind the facts. Undercover in Africa, he is helped and hindered by unexpected allies and ruthless enemies, and begins to untangle a plot of horrific dimensions--a plot that, unless Castillo acts quickly, will end very very badly...

"Cutting edge military material...Those who love Griffin's stories of past wars will take to this new series based on present and future conflicts." Publishers Weekly

"Plenty of action, high-level intrigue, interesting characters, flip dialogue, romance, and a whole lot of drinking and other carrying on." --Library Journal
