About this ebook

The former Presidential Agent’s Office of Organizational Analysis has been disbanded. Charley Castillo and his colleagues have retired, and the sudden death of the President has brought an adversarial Commander-in-Chief into the Oval Office...
 
But just because Castillo is out of the government doesn’t mean he’s out of business. He still has the skills and the manpower to do what others can’t or won’t do. And his first job is a real killer. A barrel filled with some nightmarishly lethal biohazard material has been shipped to an Army medical lab—material that Castillo and his men were supposed to have destroyed on a mission. Clearly, the message is that more of the deadly material remains.
 
But who has it? And what do they want? With lives at stake—including his own—Castillo knows that he’s not going to like the answers one damn bit...

Ratings and reviews

Skip this one. While many authors that pen a series are able to weave the history of previous stories into the current storyline, this author recaps the prior events and character development ad nauseum. All this book does is provide the reader with a painfully detailed recap of the previous books (95% of content). The plot, if there is one, is difficult to track due to all the pages and pages of backstory being regurgitated.

At first, I thought that the "Presidential Agent" series would be a waste of time. I was very much wrong. The books just keep getting better, and better.

Brings back some fond memories from my career, especially TU 934a.
