There's an uneasy and unholy alliance building across the Caribbean. Few in the U.S. government want to believe that a Third World country and its chest-thumping leader could pose a credible threat-but then why are the Chinese helping to train its special forces? Why are the Russians helping to build a nuclear power plant? Charley Castillo and his men go in to investigate, but they have no idea what they have just gotten themselves into. By the time they finish connecting the dots, they will be on the hit lists of the Kremlin, the Cubans, the Venezuelans, and the drug cartels-and totally out on their own. Whatever happens next, they'll have to do it by themselves.

"Another presidential agent novel (#7) as Charlie Castillo and fellow retired agents battle unknown powers that kidnap a federal agent in Mexico. It is well crafted and on the borderline of improbable like the previous books. It's a really good read in audio." — Judith (4 out of 5 stars)

" This series is getting a little "long in the tooth" but it's still a passable read "
" Another awesome book. The characters are great and being a veteran, I love the military realism. "
" A bit of a stumble. They left too many things in the air and the resolution of the plot felt a bit rushed. "
" A short story expanded by restating previous books in series. "
" Good story, Griffin is one of my fav authors, but this story is getting old. Time to start a new series. "
" It was hard to connect characters and then I realized this is like the 7th in a line of books...guess I need to go back and pick up some others. I do enjoy the writing of these authors so I am sure that won't be too much of a chore for me...LOL! "
" Standard Griffin fare. A plow to get through reiteration of series' backstory to get to new material. Still, better than most TV for passing time before sleeping. "
" A good one in the series. Ending is a little abrupt. "
" A thoroughly enjoyable story (as are all of Griffin's) about his latest set of characters (Charley Castillo et al) dealing with Russian mobsters, Mexican drug cartels and American political corruption. Another story that one hates to see come to an end. "
" Not as bad as the previous one, but for all the buildup, you think the "snatching people" mission would've taken more than 4 pages... "
" I really enjoyed this book, and wish I had realized it was part of a series before I had started reading it! "
" I have swallowed each in this series like iced tea on a hot day. The characters are believable and lovable, especially the angst of Carlos! I'm a fan of Clancy and Flynn. Best to read this series in order. "
" Standard Griffin. Right in line with the others in this series. "
" This is another "Presidential Agent Novel". It is another story about 'Charlie' and his band of 'warriors'. I've really enjoyed it, as well as the previous ones. I do hope we have a 'Charlie' working in the background for our country! "
" Just fair - I don't know why I keep buying his books? "
" Great series, great book. I was drawn through the book quickly turning pages. My only complaint is the quick ending. Could have used more action at the end. The wrap up in one 7 page chapter was too short. "
" I enjoyed the beginning, but the ending was a bit quick. "
" The son is NOT as good a writer as his father. In this tale of the good-old-boys (and a few gals) against the baddies, the book consists of 98% chat and the odd page of action. It ends in a rush within the last couple of pages. A very unsatisfactory read. "
" To me this one wasn't as good as the rest apparently the plot is getting a little long in the tooth. Castillo has gotten rude and I did not enjoy as much as the previous ones. "
" 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. "
" another good one in the Special Agent series. "
" Better than Tom Clancy's _Locked_On_, but that's not saying much. "
" For me, Griffin's books are a must read. However, they are of different levels of quality. This book is not one of his best. It tries to wrap up all the loose ends in four pages. It left me wanting more details. I guess I'll have to waiy for the next book. "
