abibliofob's review against another edition

Charley Castillo is still trying to figure out who is behind the murder of an American diplomat. The Hunters by W.E.B. Griffin picks up where The Hostage left us and the trail for the bad guys gets more complicated. Many years ago I found a book called Blood and Honor in a second hand bookstore and I thought it sounded interesting. I was hooked on Griffin from the start. Sadly the books where not available in Sweden so I had to import them myself and I have loved every book he has written. He has a certain way with his stories and characters that I haven't found anywhere else. His books are among the few I read over and over again and I can't help myself loving them.

An interesting book....clinical even by Griffin standards. The plot was well-constructed, but most of the book was about the "procedure" of dealing with the rare moments of something really happening. It seemed certain characters were further developed in this series at the expense of action, but like I said, it was an interesting book. I read the first two in this series some time ago, so it took a bit to get back into the overall plot of this series.

The third installment of the President Agent series picks up right where The Hostage left off, throwing the reader headfirst into the continuing mystery of the oil-for-food scandal and who was behind the Masterson murder.
Charley Castillo finds himself promoted, given an office in D.C. and allowed to use the money recovered in Uruguay as financing. He's determined to find the people behind the murders as well as the oil-for-food ripoff, but wonders if he is capable of dealing with Montvale and others.
Threads are pulled and begin to weave together into a recognizable pattern. The investigation leads to Russia and Midland, Texas. Enemies become allies and some become friends as Charley's expands.
Another thrill ride of a read, although I have to admit that the identity of one of the villains was a shock. I was also annoyed by Fernando and his attitude toward Charley near the end. And I love Max!
I look forward to the paperback release of The Shooters, the next installment. If you like a good mix of humor, action and great characterization, get involved with Charley Castillo, Presidential Agent. Just read them in order!
