"Very interesting book on the author's life experiences as a Secret Service Agent. It goes through his experiences with different positions, who he protected, and his journey along he way. This truly is a unique career choice with the utmost importance. Absolutely fascinating!"
"The author painted a real human side of the secret service and the work they do. He lets you see their dedication to their sublects and the toll it takes on their personal life. We are lucky to have such people. The book was a pleasure to read."
"It was so interesting to see the "inside" of the Secret Service. I was so saddened by his personal story, but the career was so great! It lacks a lot of political skewing, but still lets you into the Reagan oval office. Loved it."
"It's a terrific book; an inside look at protecting, from Ronald Reagan to Dan Quayle, to the pope. Petro gives us a look at the Secret Service, but this is mainly a story-driven memoir, which worked well. Definitely worth the read."
