By Order of the President
Ratings4
Average rating3.8
When a leased Boeing 727 is violently hijacked from Angola and flown to parts unknown, the President turns to an outsider--Major Carlos Guillermo Castillo--for answers. A pilot, West Point graduate, and veteran of Desert Storm, Castillo has a sharp eye for the facts--and the truth behind them. In Africa, he is helped and hindered by unexpected allies and ruthless enemies, and begins to untangle a plot of horrific dimensions--a plot that, unless Castillo acts quickly, will end very, very badly.

this book is very similar to Griffin's other writings. That being said I am a huge Griffin fan especially the Brother hood of War and the Semper Fi series'. This book brings Griffin's style to the modern Global War on Terror. The fictional story is beefed up with factual history and locales along with some great characters that make the book very enjoyable. There are a number of follow on books and each is a pretty good story in its own regard, but they are best read in order. The main character is a rich, playboy soldier with the “heart of gold” and brains to go along with his money. He is given an “Oliver North” type mission and is cut loose to do the President's Bidding. The book is well paced and enjoyable and is more people oriented rather than technology oriented (Tom Clancy).
