I loved the book. It really read like a trip down memory lane from a seasoned professional who knows what's he's talking about. It must have been quite a career working for those guys!

Sample weaves memories from his life and career into this fun to read novel. The anecdotes from travels to Washington, Africa and Central America bring the reader into the scene.

Awesome read into the mind of a U.S. Secret Service Agent
committed to preserve the interests
of America.Especially, enjoyed the details of Agent Careys travels abroad and
measures taken to complete the field assignments.The childhood flashbacks were amusing and would enable the reader to also ponder about their own childhood memories and how we relate them in our own daily experiences.Bravo, Mr Sample! I hope that there will be more books to follow!

This book really does a good job illustrating and conveying the role and importance of the Secret Service. There are many exciting scenarios that keep you on the edge of your reading chair. A great read all around.

Prelude to Danger is an intriguing look inside the difficult and complex world of the U.S. Secret Service. Through his main character, Agent Gene Carey, Mr. Sample shows readers the stress and challenges faces everyday by these silent professionals charged with keeping our Presidency safe from harm. Mr. Sample also weaves tidbits of Presidential history into the story that could never be found in any history books. This story brings an often overlooked Law Enforcement Agency to the forefront and highlights it's commitment to protecting this country. Great Job William!!

Enjoyed this fast pace story of the inner life of the secret service as
told by Agent Carry via the true life experiences of the author. Amazing
behind the scenes snapshot of what the secret service must prepare for in the
protection of presidents and Americans alike. Reccomend highly!!

An exciting novel filled with adventure that holds your attention throughout.
You will completely be absorbed from chapter to chapter.I am looking
forward to another novel written by this powerful author!

Fascinating and thoughtful vignettes that work together as a short novel - a good mix of exciting adventure and nostalgia/memory that illustrate how a gentle past and family connections were instrumental in making the main character a good Secret Service agent capable of handling danger and intrigue in a much more uncertain present. I would give 5 stars but I wish it had been longer and more of the agent/government aspects had been explained in more detail.
