Presidential Shift (Corps Justice Book 4)

A very fast paced and intriguing book. I love reading political thrillers and this book is one of the best I have read. The story starts off with intrigue and continues until the very last page. Washington, DC seems to be a world unto themselves. The players in Washington seem to be surreal to us at times. As I followed the action in this book I found my idea of the person behind the attacks/murders would change regularly. Somewhere within the last 20 minutes of the book I was able to figure out who the perpetrator was and just had to wait for the end to find out why. Very well written and suspenseful. Seems like this story could be ripped from the front pages of any major newspaper.

Enjoyed reading this book, it was fast paced and definitely kept my attention. Didn't see the end coming which is a nice surprise! The president brings in an outside group of ex-military patriots (SSI) to clean up the government - something we would all love to see! However, they don't get far before an unrelated attack kills the vice president, injuries the first lady and kills/injures many civilians. SSI shifts focus and the action never stops. Would recommend this book and I will be reading more by this author. This is the first book I have read in this series and I rated a 4 (would give a 4.5 it possible) because I did not feel the commarderie between the main characters, the author spells it out but could improve a little on the interactions between the men. Of course, it may just be because I did not read the previous books. Would recommend this book and I will be reading more by this author.

I read the 3 book box set first, then Presidential Shift, and I'm loving this series. I'm ready for the next book! Presidential Shift had so many twists and turns in it that I was always surprised about the direction it was taking, and the final twist was in the last few pages and totally unexpected. These books are interesting, fast paced, and have wonderfully developed characters that you begin to really forward to seeing in each novel. It has been a long time since I've read any military type novels, and these are so enjoyable. I barely finish one and am already looking up the next. I get antsy waiting for books to come out in a series, so finding a series that already have a lot of books in them is really a treat. I'm ready to start book 5, and this series already has 13 books in it, so I have a lot to look forward to without waiting, and I think more will be out by the time I get to the last one.

Wow. What an ending,I can't wait to get started on the next one. It's amazing that these stories are so relevant today

I've now read the first four books of the series, time for my review. Book 2 is better than 1, 3 is better than 2, and 4 is better than 3. On a realism scale of 0-10, these books rate a 1. Mostly unrealistic. The story line here was probably developed when Cooper was in the Corps drinking with his fellow grunts. Marines can do anything--save Mom, apple pie, July 4 and the country--if they are simply unleashed. Super man wears a marine uniform. The books are all plot. There is not a stitch of character development. I guess there's no need to, marines and their gung ho attitudes are all interchangeable. And the author doesn't have a clever way with words, but the prose is succinct and efficient. Read Vince Flynn or Mark Gimenez if you want realism, or character development, or pretty prose. Never-the-less, I've read four of these things. They are quick reads and very entertaining. And I'm ready to start #5. That's got to count for something, n'est ces pas?

The story starts with Cal and his bunch of merry men are trying to find out who is trying to kill the First Lady. The person who is responsible will make you wonder who really runs the government. This plot is far fetched. (I hope!)

This was a great adventure. Absolutely great characters in a multitude of intense situations that were handled in very satisfying ways. Get this, read it, enjoy!

At the end of PRIME ASSET, SSI team members had just attended funerals for their men lost in Wyoming and had a couple of drinks in memory of their friends and colleagues... Travis gets a call on his cell phone. Handing the phone to Cal, he says “It’s the President.” ... The president wants help from Cal Stokes and SSI to assist him with his plan to clean up Washington D.C. and get rid of corrupt officials and to find and get rid of a leak in his administration... A fast paced thriller, PRESIDENTIAL SHIFT will demand your attention from the beginning right up until the last page has been read. You cannot help but be drawn into the investigation with Cal and the SSI team. There is more than one guilty party in the book, but the BIG reveal will shock you! As always, the book was filled with twists and turns and there were more than a few surprises in store. I could not believe the grand finale (but it was kind of expected)! I am officially hooked on the Corps Justice series and will definitely read other books by Mr. Cooper — I just like the way he tells a story!
