Pretty similar to previous Presidential Agent novels by Griffin. Griffin seems to dedicate a large portion of the story to how the procedure and protocol unfolds within the overall plot. The actual events that occur (assassination attempts, bombing of an African chemical factory) seem to be just mer...

This was better than I thought it would be, basing my opinion on previous Griffin/Butterworth IV efforts in the Badge Of Honor series. I still think these collaborative efforts between the two are mostly written by the son, but he seems to show a knack for picking up this series and continuing it wi...

I think this is the best Presidential Agent book since the first one by WEB Griffin alone. Abrupt ending aside, which I hope will be picked up in the next book, III and IV present a page-turning story of a pariahed agent (Castillo) working behind the scenes and against the wishes of an ever-increasi...

I am really enjoying this series...eagerly looking forward to the next one. The characters introduced in the previous book are more layered and developed here, and it makes the reader more involved as they begin to find themselves more drawn into the war after the events of Pearl Harbor. Griffin has...

This book just missed being one of my five-star classics. I loved the way Griffin took his well-developed characters and put them right in the middle of WWII from Pearl Harbor to Guadalcanal with his usual direct prose and eye for military procedural detail. What's really exciting is that this serie...

Enjoyable, if not quite up to the high standards set by its five predecessors, this one read more like "these are the Days Of Our Corps". I get the feeling that Griffin intended this to be more of a set up novel for the last four, as the reader now knows that Killer McCoy is now going to the Phillip...

A brilliant book. I am continually in awe of how Griffin can take his strong, relatable characters and interweave them with truly historical people such as Roosevelt, Nimitz, MacArthur et al, and provide the WWII theater and events for them to be in. Pickering and McCoy are charged by the president ...

A good, readable book, but definitely not anywhere close to the standards of this series set by big W.E.B. Little W.E.B. obviously is doing the writing now, penning this one as a somewhat intriguing, but rushed story with thinly developed characters. Matt Payne, the main protagonist, just seems to b...

WWII is over and "Killer" McCoy is ostracized for an honest evaluation of the threat of communist North Korea invading South Korea. Once a Marine, always a Marine as McCoy, Pickering, Hart, Zimmerman, and an important cast of others are brought back into the Semper Fi fold to first bring McCoy back ...

A satisfying and fitting ending to the Corps series, if somewhat rushed and clunky near the end. I really enjoyed the sections that dealt with the rescue of Pick Pickering and his recuperation in San Diego, as well as Killer McCoy's exposure of Douglas MacArthur's faulty Korean intelligence where Ch...
