Blood and Honor`

As a retiered Marine that has married a beautiful Argentine Woman, I read about Cletus Frade as if I were him. WEB Griffen once again weaves a tale that I cant stop reading. I have just ordered the whole series from [...] and had it sent to my Army Dog Son stationed in Africa. I have visited most of the places he talks about, I was even married in the "Our Lady of Plillar" in Recoletta. I thought Griffen's Marine Corps series was his best work and perhaps it is because of how many books there are in it. I truly believe if he were to spend as much effort on this series as he has the Corps series, that this would be just as good. I am still wondering if there was any any hidden corolation drawn between el coronel Peron and the famed Evita Peron???

Great Adventure

Typical WEB Griffin. A wonderful story teller with a great backround in all things military.

A great summer read

I make a habit of reading a W.E.B. Griffin book almost every summer. I think they make the perfect beach book. They read easily, hold my attention, and are chock full of historical information. I always enjoy a fiction book where I still feel like I am picking up all sorts of historical info.

This is the second book in the series about the exploits of a former Marine Corps Aviator turned OSS operative in World War II Argentina. Griffin always paints the military in a good light, but he really loves the Marine Corps. His extremely detailed knowledge of the German military makes his Nazi characters feel genuine. It was obvious Griffin spent considerable time in Buenos Aires, since the city and its culture are described in such intimate detail. While he is known as an action writer, most of the 600+ page book is extensive dialogue. The German and Argentine characters speak in a very formal and drawn out manner, which while realistic, often slowed the pace of the book down. Most of the action takes place in the final 150 pages of the book. These were all minor points. It was a great summer read and I look forward to the final book in the series.

H e Makes You Care

I get almost annoyed that I get so involved with the characters and plots of Griffin's books.I HATE it when they end,I waited for however long it takes for the sequels.I may not like killing off the good col.Frade,but that's life,and it goes on.I care about the good Germans,like Kurt,fighting their inner battles for their own souls and survival in a world filled with the deadliest of dangers.You can't put a Griffin book down and I guess that is what it was all about.Some I have read more than once.I like the WWII books best.They put me a little in touch with the world that formed my parents lives,as he helped chase the nazis across Europe and my mother worried herself sick at home,while doing her part in the effort.

A good follow up

This is one of the better books I have read about the OSS operations in a theatre that is rarely considered.It lacks the impact of the first book in the series but is also a good book.
