Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Abibliofob on July 04, 2021

Don't get fooled with the description above. (It's the wrong description on Goodreads) It has nothing to do with this book. Covert Warriors By W.E.B. Griffin is all about a kidnapping / murder of US personnel in Mexico and the problems with the president and his staff. Is the president crazy or are......more

Goodreads review by G on December 28, 2011

This, the newest entry in the presidential agent series, was a decent read, but far from Griffin's best. Charley Castillo and his merry band identify a problem, confront same, and take care of it with their usual dispatch. Long time Griffin fans will feel a bit of a letdown. There were a few loose ends......more

Goodreads review by Faye on July 23, 2016

Too many characters, too much re-hashing of former books in the series (as well as of the current plots), and not enough action. I slumbered through this one, I fear.......more

Goodreads review by Orlando on January 09, 2012

I'd had save money and time if I had read the reviews before buying this book. It's nothing than a summary of the preceding book in this series.......more

Goodreads review by Michael on November 17, 2019

Very little happens, they spend so much time catching you up from the other (better) books. The new president is a moron and it gets even worse in the next book which I am currently listening too. I would have been better off stoping after the fifth book! I kept listening hoping it would get better,......more
