    About this audiobook

    A riveting novel by MWA Grand Master Award winner Max Allan Collins.

    In Eastern Europe four CIA agents are dead—geopolitical pawns caught in border dispute cross fire. Why were they there? Who sent them? Not even the President knows.

    Back in Washington, the Secretary of the Interior dies from an apparent allergic shock. As details emerge, so do suspicions that she was murdered.

    Investigating their respective cases, ex–Secret Service agent Joe Reeder and FBI Special Situations Task Force leader Patti Rogers recognize a dangerous conspiracy is in play. When suspects and government contacts are killed off with expert precision, their worst fears are confirmed. As the country edges closer and closer to war, Reeder and Rogers must protect the President—and each other—from an unseen enemy who's somehow always one step ahead.

    The stakes have never been higher, against killers who might be anywhere, and Reeder and Rogers have no one to trust but each other.

      Executive Action is Third in a series of action-packed Washington, D.C. Thrillers starring retired secret service agent Reeder and FBI Special Agent Rogers. What's great about this book is that it is perfectly paced with the action and tension building to a final all-out battle. The blueprint for suspense here is that rogue elements of the government - a deep state if you will - are staging a violent coup and only Reeder and a handful of operatives have clean hands and can protect the President from the coup.

      The stakes - saving the world - are uncommonly high and, as with many such political thrillers, you have to suspend disbelief and accept that a small group of rogue elements with well executed assassinations can change the course of history. The other novels in this series, particularly Supreme Justice, explored these issues. It's quite scary how dependent the world is on preventing assassinations and keeping the line of succession proper.

      This is an easy book to read. The writing draws the reader in very quickly and it's an intense race against time to save the world. All in all, an enjoyable read.

      Action? You want action? This book starts out with four of the top CIA agents in an area between two countries unknown to them that they are about to start a war. They can see tanks and other military vehicles from both countries on either side of them. However they are just sitting there. All of a sudden they start moving towards the agents and then Russian paratroopers start descending from the skies above. The war is starting and the agents are caught in the middle. They are, of course, caught in the middle and killed. No one in America knows that they are there. The head of the CIA does not know they are there. They president has ordered that no one should be there. Why are they there? No one seems to know. What is going on.The Secretary of the Interior is suddenly dead. She has ate a sandwich that has sesame in it. She's allergic to sesame. Is it murder or just a coincidence? This just the start of what's going on in this book. The president calls in Joe Reeder to help figure out what exactly is going on. The action only picks up from here. This is a book you definitely don't want to start reading at bedtime. I had to stop reading the book right in the middle of the best part and I was not happy. I went back and started again just so I could get my heart pumping and into it. Because, believe me, that's exactly what happened when I was reading this book. I read number 2 in the series of this book and just like this book found it outstanding. A great read that I did not want to put down. The pages just by. The action was continuous. I was so into this book. While the ending did tie up everything, I still did not want it to end. The characters of Reeder and Rogers are very likeable. They work well together and their relationship is more like brother and sister. I like that. The author did a great job with all the action that was going on in the book and I thoroughly enjoyed it.Thanks to Thomas & Mercer for approving my request and to Net Galley for providing me with a free e-galley in exchange for an honest unbiased review.
