When Griffin and his son began the "Presidential Agent" series, it introduced to us some very interesting characters that held a lot of promise. It is unfortunate that the series has bogged down, causing the authors to go fishing for a story line.

The first 45 pages of this book are given over, almost entirely, to background review of characters and their histories from previous books in the series. Once the story finally begins, every time a new character enters the room the "catching up" begins again, and we read the same dialog a half dozen times in slight variations. Toward the end of the book the story finally begins to move along. But this story would have been a few chapters in most novels.

Unless you have already been following this series, do not bother with this book. Instead go back to W.E.B. Griffin's "Brotherhood of War" or "The Corps" series', where the writing style still seemed fresh and the storyline and characters held your attention.
