More About This Book

Overview

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-The Hostage debuting at #1. 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 lead Castillo and his team to an estancia in Uruguay, where, to his shock, the man they are seeking is himself murdered right before their eyes. Who is responsible? Most likely, the people higher up in the 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, to follow it wherever it takes him, he ends up . . . well, not exactly where he expected . . .

Brimming with rich characters, strong action, and cutting-edge drama, this is Griffin writing at the height of his powers.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Bestseller Griffin's ponderous third Presidential Agent novel picks up where the previous entry, The Hostage, left off, following U.S. Army Maj. Carlos "Charley" Castillo, a troubleshooter who takes orders directly from the president, as he fumbles about in South America and Europe. Castillo and his crew of specialists are trying to figure out who ordered the murder of American diplomat Jean-Paul Lorimer, who was shot to death in Uruguay while under suspicion of various international misdeeds, including a shady food-for-oil conspiracy in Iraq. Long stretches of dialogue and description come across more as showcases for Griffin's knowledge than as solid narrative, while Castillo and his cohorts never rise beyond their assigned roles. Fans will miss the more captivating heroes of Griffin's Brotherhood of War or the Corps series. Author tour. (Jan.) Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
Library Journal
This third entry in Griffin's exciting and timely "Presidential Agent" series begins literally minutes after the end of the previous novel, The Hostage, and again features the irreverent but highly capable Charley Castillo and all the other ensemble characters. The plot here focuses on the UN "oil for food" scandal and the murderers who will stop at nothing to protect themselves and their own national interests. Castillo is so busy chasing the bad guys that he almost forgets his girlfriend, who's recuperating in a hospital. Oops. Exhibiting a thorough knowledge of how the government and the military work (or don't work) and a detailed knowledge of multitudes of weapons systems, Griffin offers another novel that is fast-paced, exciting, and great fun to read. Griffin's loyal readers will hope that more will be coming soon. Recommended for all popular fiction collections.

Kirkus Reviews
Griffin returns to chronicle the international adventures of heroic presidential special agent Charley Castillo (The Hostage, 2006). Too modest and too rich to be just another rampaging Ollie North, Major C.G. "Charley," polyglot love child of a German newspaper heiress and an even richer Texas aviator, has been charged by his doting president with the formation of a special-operations group answering only to the White House. The president wants Charley to clear up the mess left behind when he and his ragtag band of straight-shooting marines, honest CIA operatives, brainy Asian F.B.I. agents and their admiring Argentine opposite numbers located and almost snatched the perfidious high-level U.N. bureaucrat who absconded to rural Uruguay with 16 million dollars rightfully belonging to an international ring of oil-for-food swindlers. The snatch of the bureaucrat had been foiled by a black-clad gang of seemingly unidentifiable "Ninjas" armed with untraceable weapons, one of whom took out the bureaucrat even as Charley was reaching for him. The Ninjas were all wiped out, but the oil-for-food thieves want their money back and they want equally to eliminate anyone with clues about their identity, especially elderly Hungarian man-about-town and ace reporter Eric Kocian, a favorite of Charley's. Armed with the disputed 16 million bucks snatched from the late bureaucrat's secret accounts, girded with a promotion to Lt. Colonel and staffed with the best office administrator on the planet, Charley rounds up his troops and swears them into the new unit and off they fly in Charley's Gulfstream, back and forth from Argentina to Germany to Hungary to Texas to Argentina to Uruguay, accompanied on much ofthe trip by Kocian's huge and adorable Flemish sheepdog, until they at last clear up most of the mysteries, leaving just enough unsolved for a sequel. Notable mostly for the digs at a CIA agent remarkably similar to Valerie Plame.

Meet the Author

W. E. B. Griffin
W. E. B. Griffin
W. E. B. Griffin is the author of six bestselling series: The Corps, Brotherhood of War, Badge of Honor, Men at War, Honor Bound, and now Presidential Agent.

Biography

With more than 40 million books in print in more than 10 languages, bestselling novelist W.E.B. Griffin enjoys a well-deserved reputation as a master of the military thriller.

Griffin began his career not as a writer but as a military man like the type he would eventually make millions writing about. After growing up in both New York City and the Philadelphia suburb of Wallingford, Pennsylvania, Griffin took the step in 1946 that -- little did he know at the time -- would set the course for his literary life: He enlisted in the United States Army. After finishing basic training, he went through counterintelligence instruction at Fort Holabird, New Jersey, and was assigned to the Army of Occupation in Germany under Major General I. D. White, commander of the U.S. Constabulary.

In 1951, while attending Philips University, in Marburg an der Lahn, in Germany, Griffin was recalled to active duty during the Korean War. He again served under General White, both at Fort Knox, Kentucky, and in Korea, where he earned the Expert Combat Infantry Badge and served as a combat correspondent and as acting X Corps (Group) information officer. Upon his release from active duty in 1953, Griffin was appointed chief of the Publications Division of the Army Signal Aviation Test & Support Activity at the Army Aviation Center, Fort Rucker, Alabama.

Although he first wrote under various pen names, Griffin didn't begin writing his bestselling string of military novels until he was well into his 50s. His first Brotherhood of War novel, The Lieutenants, was published in 1982 and touched off Griffin's well-known reputation for writing with historical accuracy and fascinating detail. Publishers Weekly noted that this first novel "captures the rhythms of WW II army life... in an absorbing account of life among military men." Griffin would go on to pen additional books in the Brotherhood of War sequence and to launch other bestselling series -- including The Corps, Badge of Honor, Honor Bound, and Men at War, among others.

While Griffin's public persona is a bit of an enigma -- he's not one to make the talk show rounds -- it's clear that he both knows and appreciates his readers, especially his fellow military men. On his official web site, Griffin reflects, "Nothing honors me more than a serviceman, veteran, or cop telling me how much he enjoys reading my books."

Good To Know

Griffin was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Philosophy in Military Fiction from Norwich University.

He was vested in the Order of St. George by the U.S. Armor Association.

Griffin addressed the Corps of Cadets for the United States Military Academy.

    Griffin at his best

    The plot is fabulous and for a reader that has visited most locations in the book it's extremely accurate. C G Castillo is an excellent protagonist and 3 or 4 Castillos would help make the world a safer place.

    What's going on?

    As I had not read any previous books in this series, it took quite a while to catch up to what was going on. When I did, the story was entertaining if a bit convenient where it came to everything working out for the main characters.

    GRIFFIN SCORES AGAIN!!

    I have read and listended to previous GRIFFIN works and enjoy his style of writing and topics he chooses to write about. This one so tweaked my interest that I found that I just had to have the other three in the Presidential Agent series. Also I found myself wanting to sit down and listen to this until I was finished with the story. I am listening to a second one now and it as absorbing and enjoyable as this one. Being ex-milirary I love his use of the 24 hour clock and the day, date, location headings. I only wish I had found these books in order. I came into this with this one and it was like coming into the middle of great movie. Keep up the good work GRIFFIN I love military stories with a great plot.

    Lumping the Presential series together, it is a worthwile read.

    I have read the entire series the only problem I found is tht the cast of charters remains almost the same and only the situations change. Reading the entire set is really a labor of love.

    W.E.B. Griffin does it again. Fast paced and a real page turner!

    I hadn't read Hostage (the previous book in the series) in about 2 years, but within 5 minutes I was able to remember everything from HOSTAGE. WEB Griffin has created characters that have a authenticity to them so that you can remember them. This store starts where the previous book ended. Could Lt Col Castillo be the next Oliver North?

    Well worth the time to read this series.

    The Hunters is another thrilling chapter in the long line of successes by Mr. Griffin.

    I have enjoyed every W.E.B. Griffin book I have read, which includes every series except the police series, which is next on my list. The Hunters is a fast-paced thriller that will not allow you to put the book down until you finish. The Hunters is one more exciting chapter in a long line of successes by Mr. Griffin. If you like military stories and current events, you will love this series and in particular The Hunters.

    Good Read

    This was a great book. It made me stay up in the late hours of the night. I almost missed my stop on the train while reading this terrific book. I can't wait for the next one. This is my second book by Mr. Griffin and it keeps getting better and better. He's old yes, but has not lost his ability to keep his audience in a trance with his awesome story-telling.

    Disappointing long book by one of my favorite authors

    I have always been a fan of W.E.B. Griffin¿s books. I think I have read every book he has written beginning with his marvelous stories of WWII. His characters are unforgettable as are the actions of the individuals, the units, and their leaders. However, this book set me back a bit with its huge length and stretched out storyline. I realize the author has to bring readers up-to-date with his characters if they have not read his previous books, but The Hunters drags this process out far too long. The story itself has its good areas and suspense of actions by agents assigned by and for the President of The United States that allows them to go any direction they wish to go and/or control. Presidential assigned Charley Castillo reports only to the President. He has far-ranging power in his actions, his selection of those that he wishes to assist him, where he wants to go in the entire world, and who he does and doesn¿t wish to associate with no matter who they are. This assignment however places Charley too close to being controlled by other government agencies and this he does all he can to circumvent any of these that would have themselves boss Charley around. This is not Charlie¿s way of doing anything in his work. As I said, there were many action parts of this book if you can read through to get to them. You will tour the world several times, meet all kind of official government leaders, foreign and domestic, secret agencies and their leaders, hired killers and those that would hire them to kill anyone, anywhere, and those loyal to Charley that would place themselves in front of a bullet for him. The main issue in the book is the scandal regarding the murders and missing money in a growing United Nations/Iraq oil for food problem that is growing continually. Charley and the many working for him and with him, again foreign and domestic, have to travel the world digging into all the ¿dirt¿ they can find as they attempt to recover the missing money and those that have killed many to cover up all the facts. Charley and all his cohorts are not immune to the attempts and/or actual killing or wounding by these desperate killers. Money seems to be no problem for Charley. He can get ¿blood out of a turnip¿ legally or illegally. Charley has so many working with him that have important knowledge that can use their brain to its fullest. Charley is also rich and very intelligent despite his young age and those working with him know they dare not cross him. There is a huge lack of any love in this book. The love connection that Castillo had was in a hospital since she had been wounded in a previous book. They did connect but for a short period of time in this book but not near enough in my estimation. If you like action books and have not read very many of W.E.B. Griffin¿s books, you will probably enjoy this book. If it were half its size the reader would be better served, again in my mind. I know Mr. Griffin didn¿t ask me my advice. I will probably read his future books but I am hoping he learns to reduce the monstrous size of his books and thinks of the readers.

    Fast Paced and Entertaining

    I haven't read any military type books and happened upon this release in paperback. I first thought that with plus 800 pages and small print I'd be asleep in no time but boy was I wrong! It turns out that I love the way Griffin writes, the characters he weaves, the trulife details... even the fact that only a couple of people got killed didn't bother me as it was a believable entertaining read. Now I'll have to go back and read #1 & 2.

    W.E.B. Griffin keeps getting better. ¿The Hunters,¿ the third book in the Presidential Agent series keeps the action going. Charley Castillo and his band romp across the globe chasing the bad guys involved in the UN oil for food rip-off. Castillo gets a new ride, and Alek Pevsner, the bad guy you have to like, is back. The Ambassador of Intelligence, Charles W. Montvale has a supporting role-- thank God he is now back where he belongs. Cartridge cases, pancake flower, maple syrup and Max add humor to the story. I hope Max, Two-Gun Yung, and the kid turn up in the next book. The story left hanging in ¿The Hostage¿ is wrapped up. Griffin again proves himself the master of describing turf battles and bureaucratic infighting. Having seen some, he kept me laughing with his descriptions. Oh yes, did I fail to mention ¿suitcase nukes,¿ AALs, iron mines, and mosques? Well, you have to read the book. It will keep you up past your bedtime.

    Another breathtaking novel by WEB Griffin. Suggest that those criticising the book should first read the other novels. One thing that I really have to praise is the camaraderie among the enlisted men and officers. Something that is unfortunately looked upon as old fashioned in many countries. Also suggest that those handicapped in world geography keep an atlas nearby so they are not lost and complain about it. Look forward for the third book of these series due to be released in a months time and many more.

    A reviewer

    Author does a good job of bringing a new reader of this series up to speed with appropriate dialog between the characters what happened in the two prior books. My question is LtCol Castillo going to always be so concerned with travel arrangement of all his associates as they take down the bad guys. The plot development was much more interesting when the lead character was dealing with the Washington power structure who didn't want him to succeed.

    Another great one!

    A great follow up to the first book of this series. Could stand on its own but it would easier to follow if you have read the beginning book 'By Order of the President'. Look forward to the next one.

    Wow! Fun with Guns,

    I have been a fan for many years and this tale did it again! You feel like you are there, in the action! Well written, easy to follow the only problem is that you can't put it down!

    All over the place -- but easy and fun to follow

    This is the third novel in what is an intriguing series with some well-developed and interesting characters. There really are soldiers like Charley Castillo and the general officers he associates with. The Hunters makes the CIA look bad and the FBI look worse, so much so that the President locks on to Castillo to solve some of his more pressing problems. What this book is not is the now tiresome story about mid-east terrorists. It is a whole new twist on countering terrorism.

    Redundancy to a New Level

    Labored through the Audio Book version on a novel that was all over the place. You would have to be as scatterbrained as the author to track, with any semblance of order,as to where he was going, and going at a snails pace, with his story. The repitition is annoying and unending. It's my first Griffin novel and my last. That is not 'presidential, top secret' as the author likes to state over and over again, but on an 'unsecure line' for all to read. There are better books out there--Save your time and money and skip this one.
