The secret terrorist organization that came within a heartbeat of
installing its agent as President of the United States in Executive
Actions is back with a new—and deadlier—plot to destabilize the U.S.
government. It all begins with what appears to be a simple mugging and
murder of a female White House staffer. Secret Service agent Scott
Roarke discovers the truth: that the murder was committed by his secret
nemesis, the mysterious assassin who had managed to always stay one step
ahead of him during the presidential campaign. This time Roarke has
found clues about the assassin’s past that give him the tools he needs
to hunt the hunter, but the clues can only go so far. Roarke needs all
his skill, and a huge amount of luck as well, if he’s going to catch his
quarry.
I think I have said it before but, I have never been a big political thriller reader. I do enjoy John Grisham though. I read Executive Actions by Gary Grossman and after I read that book, I was hooked. I am so glad I was able to read both books because I really don't like (no I don't have the patience and I will admit it!) reading a book in a series and having to wait six months or more for the next book to come out. So I was thrilled that after finishing Executive Actions I was able to jump right into Executive Treason.
Grossman wrote these books so well, at times it seemed a bit wordy and dragged on a bit but it wasn't enough to ruin the book or make it boring.
What's funny about the time frame of me reading these two books was that I was also reading a few other books (I find myself in these predicaments often) so I figured I would read a few chapters at a time and so on with the other book...but I wasn't able to stop reading these books. I stayed up way too late reading Executive Treason...which shouldn't have surprised me since it was the same way while reading Executive Actions.
I felt the book ended well but what I didn't like was that it seemed to start low then gradually speed up. Especially since I was revved up after finishing Executive Actions an was ready to jump back into the political actions.
All in all, I would totally recommend this book. And don't you just love that cover?
