Book Reviews of The Hunters (A Presidential Agent Novel)
Book Review: rushed to press without editing???
Summary: 2 Stars
I was astonished by the number of mistakes in this book (hardcover version). It was either not edited or edited very poorly.
Some other things continue to bother me about this series: the hero seems to divulge top secret information to almost anyone, civilians, foreign nationals, anyone except the ambassador in Uruguay. The details he discloses often go way beyond what was necessary. While US citizens may be bound by secrecy are we to believe that foreign nationals would be bothered about threats of being charged with a felony for disclosure. Good luck with the extradition.
The hero also likes to drink. In fact most of the characters do. So do I, but I am not on a top secret presidential mission.
The author has all but accused a real life foreign president of being involved in oil-for-food. I guess he is not planning on visiting Russia any time soon.
One of the things that remains unresolved is the stuff in the syringes. At one point we learn that the stuff injected into mrs mastersons buttock would only have numbed her buttock. So the toxicology from her blood cannot explain her state when she was found in the previous book. Is this something that will be followed up in a subsequent book.
Having said all that one of the redeeming features of this series is that it doesn't assume that every other foreign intelligence and police service are idiots. In fact they often seem to be more on the ball than the US equivalent services.
