The Shooters

De: W.E.B. Griffin

Narrado por: Dick Hill

A key DEA agent has been kidnapped by drugrunners. As much as the news angers Presidential Agent Castillo, he thinks there’s no way he could get permission to rescue the man. But Castillo’s wrong—the President himself orders Castillo to do anything it takes to bring back the agent...anything except get caught.©2008 W.E.B. Griffin; (P)2008 Penguin

Good Yarn

Though the author is obviously a civilian and never had any military experience (a Lieutenant in the US Army has two gold bars not silver, a Lt Col has silver oak leaf and a "bird colonel" has silver eagle) the story is a good yarn.

If you overlook the glaring mistakes in the technical details the story is good and keeps the listener interested. If you love Tom Clancey stay away from Griffin as the two do not compare. However, if you have an afternoon and the credits, the story is worth a listen.

For the Author, do some research before beginning a story it could save some embarassment.

Simple things like latitude and LONGITUDE. Rank insignia and Army society could help as well. Also a brief study of the sciences could help with the distance a satellite is from earth.

Very well done once again by W.E.B.Griffin LBROWN

A fast paced tail of the fist order . Much expected of Griffin. I found it hard to put down. This story really developed the characters.
I will read it again during the series.

Shooters

Great story with a lot of interesting information and background . I especially like the narrative by Dick Hill.

well written

loved the reader and pace, Griffin is one of the best writers there is

I am a person who reads (listens) to many books. The books I enjoy most are those where the author creates a series of books and really builds on the characters. I have now sampled all of the WEB series and read, or listened to all of the Presents Man series.

All of the books have their special set of characters and the characters are built betwen each book. Yes, the books are slow reading. You need to really appreciate and "live" the characters lives. However, if you enjoy a great suspense read and really enjoy getting to know a character inside and out this is the author for you.
