Two armed men board a 727 that has been all but forgotten at an airfield in Angola. Hijacking the jet, they then slit the throat of the lone crew and fly to parts unknown. The consternation is immediate, as the CIA, FBI, and other agencies race to find out what happened, in the process elbowing one another in the sides a little too vigorously. Fed up, the president of the United States turns to an outside investigator to determine the truth.

In the first weeks after World War II, a squeaky-clean new second lieutenant named James D. Cronley Jr. is spotted and recruited for a new enterprise that will eventually be transformed into something called the CIA. One war may have ended, but another one has already begun, against an enemy that is bigger, smarter, and more vicious: The Soviet Union. The Soviets have hit the ground running, and Cronley's job is to help frustrate them, harass them, and spy on them any way he can.

June, 1941. Determined that the United States will be prepared for war, Franklin D. Roosevelt and "Wild Bill" Donovan orchestrate the most complex espionage organization in history, the Office of Strategic Services. Young and daring, the OSS assemble under a thin camouflage of diplomacy and then disperse throughout the world to conduct their operations. And no operation is more critical than the one being conducted by hotshot pilot Richard Canidy and his half-German friend Eric Fulmar: to secure the rare ore that will power a top-secret weapon....

They were the young ones, the bright ones, the ones with the dreams. From the Nazi-prowled wastes of North Africa to the bloody corridors of Europe, they honorably answered the call. War - it was their duty, their job, their life. They marched off as boys and they came back - those who made it - as soldiers and professionals forged in the heat of battle....

Publisher's Summary

The first two novels in W. E. B. Griffin's exciting Presidential Agent series, By Order of the President and The Hostage, immediately raced up the best seller lists. Told in "punchy prose that connects like a right hook" ( Chicago Tribune), they were further proof that "Griffin just keeps on getting better" ( Booklist).

The Hunters picks up right where The Hostage left off. Two brutal murders and millions of missing dollars in the growing UN/Iraq oil-for-food scandal have led Castillo and his team to an estancia in Uruguay, where the man they seek is murdered right before their eyes. Who is responsible? Most likely, the people higher up in the dirty-money chain, those willing to risk anything to keep their secrets from being revealed. They've left just enough of a trail, though, for Castillo to pick up the scent, and, with carte blanche from the president of the United States to follow it wherever it takes him, he ends up...well, not exactly where he expected.

Brimming with rich characters, strong action, and cutting-edge drama, this is Griffin writing at the height of his powers.

Great story even better narrator

OK I like W.E.B. Griffen's work. This is a great story. The characters are well developed. It's a continuation of previous stories. The star of this is the narrator. The characters are from eastern europe, Russia, Argentina and Uraguay. Each character has a distinct accent absolutely brought to life by the narrator. I am really quite amazed at his skill. If you value the "performance" as much as the story you'll love this one.

Dissapointed

Dick Hill, the narrator of the first two books did a better job bringing the characters to life. Jay O. Sanders has a monotone voice, putting me to sleep.

I found the third book much harder to follow than the first two, perhaps because of the narrator or the fact that is it hard to follow the additional characters that are being introduced.

The 2nd book made me look forward to listening to the 3rd, but I am not sure if I'll be able to finish it or if I'll buy the last one.

Very disappointing.

What was that about?!

The reader was one the best I've listened to. Excellent accents for each character. The story however was too complicated for me to follow. I got to the end and still didn't know the point. It will keep me away from CIA plots for a while!

Thumbs up on Jay O Sanders

I too am a W.E.B. Griffen fan having listened to his WWII series prior to this as well as the first in the Presidential series. Sanders, along with Frank Muller are the two best readers out there. I am amazed at his ability to draw pictures in your mind of the characters by his ability to alter accents and voices at will.

The plot takes you on a multicontinent tour with a number of characters developed in previous books, the adventures of Charlie Castio brings out the Walter Mitty in all of us.

Great

I love the Presidential Agent series. It takes you all over the world.

Hope it will continue and not end with this book.

Boooooring

Very very slow and lacking in action. Too many characters. I'll stick to Vince Flynn and Brad Thor.

  • Overall

Great Sequel

"The Hunters" picks up right were "The Hostage" left off. It is a smooth transition with an excellerating plot. It becomes a little tedious at times. It is still an excellent sequel with an exciting, satisfing plot left open for another book in the series.

Great WEB Griffin The Hunters

As usual a great novel with real detail in its script so it makes it real life not fantasy. The reader was one of the best I have ever heard with great control of his voice and characters. Always enjoy W.E.B. Griffin and wish we had more unabridged.
