April 1940. By terms of the Soviet Nazi Nonaggression pact, the two dictatorships divided the helpless nation of Poland. Now, the Russians are rounding up enemies of the state in their occupation zone, but one essential target slips away. Dr. Sebastian Kapsky had spent years working with Walter Riedel and Werner von Braun in the early days of rocket science, but as a man with a conscience he refused to continue when he saw the perversion of their work by the Nazis. That makes him the most knowledgeable person about German superweapons outside of Germany.

Good Book, but not quite to Mr. Griffins level

Obviously not Griffin
Revisado: 07-05-24
Great book. Change the character names and the title, take Griffin’s name off it and you have one hell of a standalone book. But, they didn’t do that. You expect timelines to match and characters to be consistent and they aren’t. Like I said, great standalone but not up to Griffins standards.

Secretary of State Frank Malone has been kidnapped from his Cairo hotel - his security detail wiped out. President Natalie Cohen is left with several unacceptable options. It's time to think outside the box, and that can only mean one thing: the revival of the Presidential Agent program. Cohen calls for Charley Castillo to come out of retirement to direct a new Presidential Agent, one Captain P. K. "Pick" McCoy, USMC. Charley may be too old to kick down doors and take names, but Killer McCoy is just the man to get the job done.

Where’s Svety?
Revisado: 04-23-24
Overall this is a good continuation of the series. If you are an avid listener to all of W.E.B. Griffin’s series, as I am, the adding of “Killer” McCoy’s (from The Corps series) grandson is a great touch and melding of two amazing series of books. I feel like the new writers did a good job with a few exceptions. Where’s Charlie’s family? There is no real background given on Charlie. No mention of Svety and their child? No mention of Fernando or Alexander Pezner? Can you imagine how he could have added to this story? Very minimal mention of Doná Alicia and she didn’t seem to be “in character” compared to the rest of the series. Same can be said of President Cohen. Her character in this book just doesn’t mesh with her character in the other books. I thought she liked Charlie? This book makes it seem like they’re at odds. The time line between the original series and this book doesn’t seem to match either. Would have liked at least a little bit of filler between the original series and this book. The only mention of “The Merry Outlaws” that I noticed was the mention of Charlie attending several of his friends funerals. I know I seem like I’m beating the book up but I’m not trying too. It’s a good book, I just wish there was more tie in and background to the original series. Can’t wait for the next installment and to see the development of “Killer” into Charlie’s old job, Hopefully with Charlie kind of turning into a General McNabb type roll for him.
