Wow, loved every book in the series but this one fell a little flat in my estimation. The energy built up in the beginning and then, as if a diffuser was used, the energy was syphoned away. Time to take a break from this series. Maybe hard to expect greatness with every book...

Garbage . I’ve pretty much enjoyed this series, as ridiculous as it is . But this book used up any remaining goodwill . I mean the plot has been thin on most of these but not as ridiculous or pointless as this one . I’m tired of Sheila , she has never been a promising character . But in her defense , Jake is a gaslighter , who never owns up to the truth , and tries to play victim which is absolutely bonkers . Even Jess who has been the best character , seems tired and wants out of this mess. Kill the president already and get this series over with…

This time the president decides to visit an African warlord by traveling by land. In the Serengeti all kinds of dangers lurk and Jack Mercer has to be wide awake every minute. Action in Africa.

Another scary book

Had to worry if the President was going to make it out alive. Always exciting what was going to happen these books.
