About this ebook
Colonel Charley Castillo is back in action..
Mexican drug cartels are shooting up the streets of Laredo and El Paso. Somali pirates are holding three U.S. tankers for ransom. Chaos reigns…
back in the fight.
The President has had enough—he needs to get hold of Colonel Charley Castillo and his merry band of fighters and put them on the case. Unfortunately, that might be impossible. Everybody knows that the President hates Castillo’s guts, having had him forcibly retired from the military. And Castillo’s men are scattered far and wide, many of them in hiding. There are also whispers that the President himself is becoming mentally unbalanced.
How will it all play out? No one knows for sure, but for Castillo and company, only one thing is definite: it will be hazardous duty.

I've read every book he's written and this one is...OK, I'll be nice and just say "really bad." It started out OK, but the last 100 pages were like a three stooges farce. I'm tempted to complain that although it's advertised at being over 400 pages in length, it really ends at 234 pages, but as bad as the last part was, that was probably a blessing. Please! Either write good books as you used to do or just stop writing!!

So disappointed! I'm still hooked on Griffin's series, but only because the first books were so good! Since his son has been helping him, my interest level continues to decline. Does anyone else cringe at Svetlana being nicknamed 'Sweaty'?! Not to mention the dominance of her character lately or the overbearing attention given to Max the dog. Can we have the Charley from the original Presidential Agent back please? It may keep me reading the books.

Hazardous Duty is the worst of the Presidential Agent series. Not at all what I was expecting, which I gather was the author's intention. The entire novel was the opposite of a normal W.E.B. Griffin novel. Hazardous Duty was slow and mind numbing to read and did very little to keep my attention. I love the Presidential Agent series but this addition should never have been written. I give it two stars only because it was written by two great authors.
