Book Review of By Order of the President (Presidential Agent, Bk 1)

By Order of the President (Presidential Agent, Bk 1)
reviewed on + 6 more book reviews


Another strong start to a new series from an acclaimed military storyteller. The character development was rich and entertaining, including back stories to help the flow of the story. The main character is decorated soldier that due to familiar military history and self motivation achieves respect and authority coming from no one else but the President of the US.

A stolen plane and possible terrorists plot complicated by the lack of cooperation between intellence agencies is a plot that even today is still close to our thoughts.
There is some slow down in the middle of the plot but with some patience is does some together very effective and entertaining to the reader. The ending is wrapped up a little fast as with most of this author's work but hopefully like the rest of his series the next book takes right off and nothing is lost in the abrupt ending to these characters' story.

Overall, 4.5 out of 5 stars
