Executive Sanction

Executive Sanction By David Compton This novel is a wonderfully exciting adventure that takes you deep into the dangerous world of espionage, sex, and politics. Greer Whitaker is a young and exciting campaign manger who seems to be making all the right moves, that all changed when his work takes him to Europe and he is thrust into a deadly game of cat and mouse. Whitaker, a very dynamic character goes from the simple campaign manager to the all out action adventure hero, who wins you over and saves the United States from disaster. Throughout his travel he is confronted by evil drug lords, international conspirators, and beautifully deceitful women. These combinations of people and the deadly game that Whitaker is playing lead to an all out adventure that leaves one to ponder why this book isn't a movie. This is a great book that stirs the imagination and also the blood. I highly recommend it.

I had been given Executive Sanction for my birthday over a year ago and just now got around to reading it... and loved it! It had come recommeneded and I agree: great twisting plot and wonderful characters. You'll especially like this book if you've done some travelling in Europe. An intelligent book for an intelligent reader.

Too long with an over abundance of plotting. His principals are well developed but become tiresome with time.

As much as I enjoyed this book as the Acolyte. I was rather annoyed when I ordered what I thought was another book by David Compton and instead got a paperback version of the Acolyte! Sure it's my fault for not reading all the way down to the bottom of the reviews, but GEEZ! Why do they do this renaming garbage? "Hmmm, maybe we'll sell more if we give it a snazzier title...I've got it! How about Executive Sanction?!?" Barf.... It's really too bad, because the book can stand on it's own as the Acolyte....
