Hazardous Duty: Presidential Agent Series, Book 8 Description
The Presidential Agent adventures return, in the most surprising novel yet in the #1 Wall Street Journal - and New York Times-bestselling series.
Mexican drug cartels are shooting up the streets of Laredo and El Paso. Somali pirates are holding three U.S. tankers for ransom. The President of the United States is fed up and, as Commander in Chief, has what he thinks is a pretty bright idea - to get hold of Colonel Charley Castillo and his merry band and get them on the case.
Unfortunately, that will be difficult. Everybody knows that the President hates Castillo's guts, and has just had him forcibly retired from the military, and now Castillo's men are scattered far and wide, many of them in hiding. There are also whispers that the President himself is unstable - the word "nutcake" has been mentioned.
How will it all play out? No one knows for sure, but for Castillo and company, only one thing is definite: This is going to be hazardous duty.

I have been a fan of all of W.E.B Griffins military and spy themed novels but this one falls well short of everything I have read before. Gone are the intrigue, mystery, and action of previous books, this book is confusing and pointless, nothing happens, nothing is resolved and the story lines just end with no real reason. In the end of the book Griffin puts an afterword that he was having a hard time writing this novel so he tried to make it funny like MASH, he failed in my eyes, this book was a waste of time and I wish I had not pre-ordered it.

I received the book on Kindle at midnight, finished it at about 4pm (with a couple of breaks in there for naps.) I love the author's books (and let me clarify here, I've read most of them, starting with Brotherhood of War in the late 80s,) but was extremely let down by this one. And yes, I read the 'afterward' and the author's explanation. I'm sorry, I just can't get behind the reasoning to turn out a shoddy book like this.
Sadly disappointed. I'll be extremely wary of the next book.
