BY ORDER OF THE PRESIDENT

Delta Force Major Carlos Guillermo Castillo, West Point graduate, pilot, and Desert Storm veteran, pursues Somalian terrorists. Their agents have hijacked a Boeing-727 in Angola and are suspected of turning it into a bomb. Their target: the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia. Dennis Boutsikaris seamlessly switches accents, from German to Middle Eastern, then Spanish and southern European, to define characters. Military and navigation systems jargon will delight the military minded. Agency infighting among the CIA, FBI, FAA, and other bureaus post 9/11 keep the friction at a high pitch. This well-done action-adventure begins a new series for Griffin. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 05/ JAN 06]
