Charlie Castillo is going through a bit of a professional shake-up. His top-secret government unit, the mildly named Office of Organizational Analysis, has been disbanded. Charlie and his team have been expelled from government. And the new president (taking over after the former president dropped dead unexpectedly) is distinctly antagonistic toward Charlie and the work he did for the government (something about all those bodies he left behind). It seems like Charlie is down and out, but when several kilograms of Congo-Xâa very nasty, fatal bioweapon that Charlie supposedly destroyedâshow up in the U.S., Castillo and his former colleagues race to find out who sent the stuff and what they intend to do with the rest of it. Oh, and the Russians are after Charlie; so is the American government but for (mostly) different reasons. Some action-hungry readers might find the book a bit dialogue-heavy, but fans of Griffin's military thrillers will be eager to have a go at his latest.

Charley Castillo is no longer employed by the government, but neither he nor his pals are out of work. The super antiterrorist expert, last seen in Black Ops, has formed his own privately funded unit of experts. This time they have to find a deadly biological weapon they'd all thought had been destroyed. To make matters worse, Charley's enemies and rivals from years and novels past are coming out of the woodwork, thanks, in part, to an inept new president who is furious that secrets had been kept from him. He wants Charley crushed even though this places the country in jeopardy. Verdict As always with the recent thrillers by Griffin and his son, so much is spent on reprising and explaining old characters that much of the action, such as it is, is lost. The authors' fans will find this latest installment of the "Presidential Agent" series comfortable and enjoyable, while potential newer readers are likely to be turned off by the slow-moving, tedious, and complex tale. Outlaws is a thriller without thrills or action. Purchase where there is demand.âRobert Conroy, Warren, MI (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

In Griffin and Butterworth's long and exceedingly detailed sixth presidential agent thriller (after Black Ops), the U.S. president has ordered Lt. Col. Carlos "Charley" Castillo to disband his secret organization, the Office of Organizational Analysis, and to "fall off the face of the earth." When the president dies of a ruptured aorta, Charley elects instead to reorganize his outfit. He soon becomes entangled in intrigue involving several barrels of virulent biological weaponry and a demand from Vladimir Putin to return the two Russian spies who defected in Black Ops. The new U.S. president, who hates Charley's guts, wants to turn him over to Putin along with the two defectors. Charley and his intrepid gang engage in meticulous planning, fill in the backstory, banter among themselves, and fly around in exotic planes. Series fans who love these characters will find the novel fulfilling; newcomers and those expecting a big payoff will be disappointed. (Jan.)
