Great Book and Series. Excellent Narration by Dan John Miller (audible review) This series has been really good. Exciting, mysterious, entertaining and some action thrown in.I really like Reeder and Rogers. I like that they are friends and don't cross that line. The friendship and trust between these two is great. The story line and plot was great. I really enjoy a good conspiracy story. There is a lot of great dialogue throughout the entire book. This was also very well written that it didn't g...

Best Book of the Series!Unlike the first two series books, this one was not only well written, but it had both plot clarity and storyline consistency. A fast, fun, action-packed thriller that was almost believable. With the exceptions of a couple of contrived dialogues, the book will not disappoint. This storyline was the best of the three, while creating some solid and likable characters for some additional sequels. However, this would make an excellent end to the trilogy and retirement for Joe...

Joe Reeder is tasked by the president personally with looking into the deaths for four CIA agents in a border dispute in Eastern Europe that may become the pretext for a war against Russia. Specifically, Reeder is to find out who sent the CIA team into a region about to become a warzone against the president's direct order any why. Meanwhile, FBI agent Patti Rogers is looking into the death of Senator of the Interior Amanda Yellich in what quickly turns out to be a meticulously planned murder. C...

A solid page turner!This novel is part of a series of thrillers involving the heroic duo Joe Reeder and Patti Rogers. Reeder, a former Secret Service agent, became a national hero by taking a bullet for a previous president and now heads ABC Security, a private consulting firm. Rogers is an FBI Special Agent currently leading the Special Situations Task Force. Reeder and Rogers are close friends whose knowledge and skills often find them working together.The story opens with the misadventures of...

The third in this trilogy, a plot against the President, and our two heroes are the last chance. Exciting, fast moving and stretching credulity. Good thriller style

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

Another great installment with the dynamic duo of Reeder and Rogers. I don't think this book was as strong as the second book but still a lot of good action. Another great narration job for the audio book version of the story.Executive Order loosely picks up from where the last book left off by starting off with the death of the Secretary of the Interior. The death is initially written off as an accidental death due to a fatal food allergy. Reeder is a friend of the departed and doesn't buy it a...

Great readI enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it. The suspense begins immediately and keeps you on the edge of your seat until the end.

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, caugh...

Just finished the last book in the series and was not disappointed Each of the stories have a similar theme; Government takeover from within. The 1st story talked to the Supreme Court. The 2nd story related to the Legislative Body. The 3rd story deals with the Executive branch.This story started out with 4 members of the CIA on site in Asbekistan. Their orders are just to observe. While performing their duty, they are killed by Russian Forces invading. The real purpose of their mission was to be...

Disclosure:I won this book in a goodreads giveaway. Goodreads encourages, but does not require, giveaway winners to review the book.Review:Oh, I like this team of Reeder & Rogers. I like them a lot. Of course, I read the first two books before I read this one and I must say, I hope this series doesn't remain a trilogy. I hope there are many more. I'd buy them and read them and (depending on how long it takes to get another book) maybe even reread the first three. I rarely reread a whodunit/suspe...

Shadow government trying to overthrow the real government. I usually enjoy Collins' imagination and work in a novel. This one was too predictable and the author didn't bother following the basic Rules of Presidential Succession. His story leaves out the Speaker of the House and the Senate President Pro Tem. And worse, it doesn't conclude the story. Leaves the bad guys out there.

50% into the book I was sure I am reading a 5 star book, but then the story became quite predictable. Like every other conspiracy story against the presidency. The so called “Twists” in the story were obvious with no surprises for people reading that kind of genre. OK, so it started to look like a 4 star story deteriorating into a 3 stars. But the last 10% of the book couldn’t hold even to the 3 stars and dropped down to a 2 stars kind of ending. Almost a childish ending it was a high school lev...

This book started just how I DON’T like a book to start: you get to know someone and within minutes they’re all dead. UGH! I hate when authors do that. Anyway, this is about those four CIA agents sent to Azbekistan, AFTER the President expressly ordered NO ONE to be sent there because everyone was sure the Russians were about to attack, which they did. And it’s was about Joe Reeder, who owns ABC Security, and Patti Rogers who works for the FBI attempting to figure out if the four CIA agents have...

4 stars for me.This is the third of the Reeder and Rogers trilogy, so it is good to read it in order, but this works as well as a stand alone novel. The plot is well developed and unfolds logically and realistically. Reeder and Rogers must follow the evidence and leads to thwart the efforts of a secretive organization to subvert the government by undermining authority. They must determine whether the "conspiracy" is a theory or an actual threat, then prove to those in authority that there is eno...

Excellent read.This book is for those people that likes politics and government, mean time you'll learn somethings about our past presidents. All three books in this series are covers the three branches of U.S. government. Plot is about shadow government attempting to manipulate world events within. Read all three books, your time or money won't be wasted.

I am hopelessly old school. I thought I had picked out a mystery novel to read, but I think suspense novel might be more accurate. Possibly a suspense thriller? I don’t know, but when did mysteries drift away from being a contest between the reader and the author? I’m talking Sherlock, Miss Marple, Hercule Poirot, et. al., who leave clues for us to pick up—just enough to see if the reader is keen enough to solve the puzzle before the reveal. The recent mysteries I’ve read have cheated. One, for

Four agents find themselves in Azbekistan at the moment of a Russian invasion, race to their car and are killed in crossfire between Russian paratroopers and defending troops.Who ordered them there, when the President had forbidden any American CIA or other forces there?
