Customer Reviews

WEB is the BEST

WEB Griffin is the best in the business. I have read all his books and this one is another winner. WEB if you read this, write faster, I need more! ! !

Does it again!!

Griffin is on target again, SHOOTERS is classic Griffin; a spellbinding fictional tale of intrigue mixed into real world scenarios. As with all of his books it leaves you craving the next installment.

The Shooters

This book is great. I began reading Griffin a number of years ago with the Brotherhood of War series. After that I read all of his books and enjoyed them. Griffin writes in a style that is fast paced with short chapters that move from scene to scene and character to character. I hope he has another series.

A great read

I ended up reading this in the day and finishing the story saying - Wait it can't end here. I am sure it won't and I will preorder the next in the series as soon as it is available. Well Done!

Charley Castillo Rides Again

This is another great book about Charley Castillo and his band of Presidential operators. Read this book immediately, you will love it. I could not put it down, but I did stop to get four hours of sleep. Nobody writes about the military and special operations as well as WEB Griffin, because he knows the people so well, and they constantly feed him with new information about their methods and activities. The book starts in Argentina. A young DEA agent approaches Castillo for help in freeing his kidnapped partner, Timmons, because no one else is interesting in doing anything about it. As events unfold, it becomes obvious that the kidnapping is an indication that a much larger problem exists. Eventually the President is involved by a political ally, and he orders Castillo's agents to free Timmons, over the objection of almost everybody else. The operation is put in motion, becoming a hunt that is as elaborate as the one for Osama bin Laden, involving new good guys and new bad guys, and operating primarily in Paraguay and Argentina. This is another great book about how heroes overcome major obstacles in their efforts to serve their country. It shows the good, the bad, and the ugly about interagency cooperation, modeling true life.
