The Unit #2
Operation Assassination
What if the President is insane, but can’t be removed from office?
The leader of the free world is never more than a few steps away from the military attaché who carries the “nuclear football.” So, when the President shows signs of insanity and legal efforts to remove him from office fail, the fear that he could exercise his power to unilaterally initiate a nuclear strike leads some members of Congress to make a stunning request. The Unit’s Field Team is called upon to conduct a mission that goes against everything they believe in: assassinate the President. For Spud, who was recruited to The Unit from the Secret Service’s Presidential Protective Division, he must make a difficult choice: protect the President, or protect the nation.
In this sequel to Book One of The Unit series, Camp Chaos, how will Spud, his wife Hank, and the other members of this secret, elite law enforcement team use their unusual dynamic and extraordinary talents to determine the truth and avert a crisis within the nation’s highest halls of power?

I'll state my usual bias as the author of the book.
I periodically review my own books to make small changes and corrections, as well as to revise the interior look of the book.
In this book, the second of my The Unit series, my main character, Hank, the unit's female sniper finds herself facing the prospect of having to assassinate the president of the United States who is apparently insane. The mission was given to the unit by members of Congress, alarmed by the president's veritable declaration to use nuclear arms against those he perceived as enemies. With each of the unit's elite team of field operatives being federal law enforcement and sworn to protect the Constitution, the mission puts them at odds with their oath as they weigh the potential for the annihilation of 2/3 of the US population. With all constitutional mechanisms exhausted for removing the president from office, how will they choose? In the end, what is revealed as the truth?
Don't ask me—you'll just have to read the book.

This compelling sequel to the first book of The Unit series takes this covert law enforcement unit into behind-the-scenes maneuvering by those in power who seek yet more power. The effect the unit's mission has on the main characters gives the book the usual insights, twists, and turns characteristic of Anne Fox's writing. Readers will construct their own adventure as they try to determine what the ending will be. If you like law enforcement tales with a twist and a bit of humor, you'll love this book.

This exciting return to the adventures of Hank and her fellow Unit members will make you want to read the entire book in one sitting.
The interactions of the Unit members as they continue to develop technical skills worthy of their pre-eminent status as the last-resort law enforcement agency in the country is irresistible. The drumbeat of the plot line accelerates through twists and turns to a gripping conclusion.

Good
The ongoing story was good about the unit ,their training, the complexities of their lives. It bogged down with reading word for word parts of the constitution. There was lots of talking. I would have liked more boots on the ground action.
