Synopsis

The secretary of state has been kidnapped by Islamic extremists and his only hope for survival is a reconstituted Presidential Agent team in this revival of W. E. B. Griffin's New York Times bestselling series.

Secretary of State Frank Malone has been kidnapped from his Cairo hotel—his security detail wiped out. President Natalie Cohen is left with several unacceptable options. It's time to think outside the box, and that can only mean one thing: the revival of the Presidential Agent program.

Cohen calls for Charley Castillo to come out of retirement to direct a new Presidential Agent, one Captain P. K. "Pick" McCoy, USMC. Charley may be too old to kick down doors and take names, but Killer McCoy is just the man to get the job done.

Together, they will track the kidnapped secretary from Cairo to sub-Saharan Africa. The only problem is that one man can't hope to win against an army of terrorists...good thing there are two of them.

Goodreads review by PamG on October 14, 2021

Brian Andrews and Jeffrey Wilson were asked to carry on W.E.B. Griffin’s Presidential Agent series.

Having never been a fan of WEB Griffin, but being a fan of Andrews and Wilson's Tier One series, I went into this book with an open mind and without caring how well it integrated or continued the previous books in this series, and I was pleasantly surprised. As a well-written, realistic, paramilitar......more

Goodreads review by Mike on March 02, 2022

Very little reference to characters from the early novels -- aside from Natalie Cohen (now president) and Gen. McNabb. No reference to Charlie's "red haired" wife (Svetlana), son, cousin, and the members of his "outlaws" from the first 8 books. A new younger "Presidential Agent" is brought on board,......more

Quotes

“There's red-hot action from the get-go in the ninth novel in the late W.E.B. Griffin's newly revived Presidential Agent series. . . A kick-ass thriller from start to finish.”
—Kirkus Reviews

“Fans of bestseller W.E.B. Griffin [will] welcome the return of Griffin's hero C.G. “Charley” Castillo [in] the capable ninth Presidential Agent novel. . . Andrews and Wilson supply plenty of credible action in the Griffin mold, while the mentoring subplot provides extra interest. Readers will look forward to how the succession angle is handled in the sequel.”
