Publisher Description

The first two novels in W. E. B. Griffin’s exciting new Presidential Agent series, By Order of the President and The Hostage, immediately raced up the bestseller lists. Told in “punchy prose that connects like a right hook” (Chicago Tribune), they were further proof that “Griffin just keeps on getting better” (Booklist). The Hunters picks up right where The Hostage left off. Two brutal murders and millions of missing dollars in the growing UN/Iraq oil-for-food scandal have led Castillo and his team to an estancia in Uruguay, where the man they seek is murdered right before their eyes. Who is responsible? Most likely, the people higher up in the dirty-money chain - those willing to risk anything to keep their secrets from being revealed. They’ve left just enough of a trail, though, for Castillo to pick up the scent, and with carte blanche from the President of the United States to follow it wherever it takes him, he ends up…well, not exactly where he expected…

"I just cant get enough of this series. One more and I will be completely done with it. Then I will have to find something else to read. These books read like the Bourne movies play. Fast paced, good guys vs bad guys, with a little nose thumbing at people with attitudes in high places. "

    " The Honor Bound series went downhill rather quickly. Maybe it is because this newish series is much more interesting to Griffin. Or maybe Griffin's son is writing the other series and Griffin is focused on this on. Whatever the reason, the first few books of this series have the level of detail I think I remember from his earlier books. There are a ton of characters to keep track of but the story stays interesting most of the time. It does get a little dry as money is tracked from one offshore account to another but it is these details that also round out the story. Castillo and company are tracking illegally earned money from the Iraqi oil for food scandal. Arrows seem to be pointing to the involvement of Putin and the Russian government and, now, their efforts to hide their involvement by eliminating anyone who has come across evidence linking them to the scandal. What's wrong is Griffin's apparent love of clandestine services. He doesn't seem to realize or at least acknowledge what a poor a poor track record the OSS/CIA have and how many illegal activities they were involved in that were of no benefit to the nation. He also seems to be in love with the idea of one strong leader able to move mountains. "

    " Audio Book. Charlie Castillo is fun to read. He buys his own jet this time to travel around the world in. He kills the bad guys that are hunting people, himself, Eric Kotzien, David Yung. The good guys always seem to get the better end of the deal whe "

    " My review is of the audiobook. 18 discs later & a lot of it could have been cut down. Every time a new person got added to the "team" or the main character, Charley Castillo reported to Washington there was a very long regurgitation of facts to bring each one up to speed. If I had been reading the book I could have skipped past entire sections of the book due to this repetition, but bothersome to try and do while listening in your car and so I put up with it. Not a lot going on except flying back and forth between the states, Europe and South America on the same hunt to find the people behind the murder of a diplomat from Book 2 without much progress in between. Find something else worth your time. "

    " If you are reading the books in this series in sequence and close together this one will go fast. Huge chunks of description and catch-up plot info. has been pasted in from the previous book, so you can skip pages at a time. I'd like to see the bad guys get fully identified, captured, and done away with, but doubt that will happen. Each book throws out a piece of the puzzle, but never concludes the chase. Charley & his team can fly around some more. Language and treatment of females is getting really annoying, but wanted to work through all of the titles in the series that I picked up. "
