I've read and enjoyed a great many of Griffin's books, including ALL of the Presidential Agent series. Normally they are GREAT! But this one just doesn't measure up to his normal quality level,which is why I rate it a 3 out of 5. All the others in the series I rated at 4.5 or 5 out of 5. This one is giant summary rehash of the previous books with a very jumpy plot. The paperback version is ~800 pages, that I see as 600 pgs of 'fluff & filler', and 200 pages of mediocre content. I'm hoping his next in this series greatly improves.
