Product Description: The crackling new novel in the bestselling Honor Bound series by the #1 New York Times– bestselling master of the military thriller.
W.E. B. Griffin’s Honor Bound saga of World War II espionage in Germany and Argentina has long been immensely popular: “Enough derring-do, romance and action to satisfy Griffin’s legion of fans and bring him new ones” (Rocky Mountain News); “Cletus Frade’s services to his countries, his fealty to honor and his courage in the face of danger lift this thriller right off the bookshelf and onto the nightstand” (The Star-Ledger).
The year is 1943, and Argentina is officially neutral, but crawling with every kind of spy, sympathizer, and military official imaginable. The hero is Cletus Frade, a Marine pilot recruited by the OSS, with strong family ties to Argentina, and in Death and Honor—Griffin’s fourth book in the series and the first since 1999—he’s got a lot on his hands.
OSS chief Wild Bill Donovan has asked him to set up his own official-but-really-OSS airline in Argentina, using “loaned” Lockheed Lodestars and Constellations. Of even more concern are two interwoven German operations. The first is a government scheme for Jews outside the Fatherland to purchase the freedom of their relatives in concentration camps, who will then be transported to Argentina and Uruguay. The second has to do with where that money is going: a plan called Operation Phoenix, which will establish safe havens for senior Nazi officials in Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay. Needless to say, the OSS is very interested in both of them, and if Frade can somehow find out a little more . . . without getting killed, that is. Which, as Frade is about to find out, is easier said than done.
Rich with the special flair that Griffin’s fans have long come to expect from him, Death and Honor is another “immensely entertaining adventure” (Kirkus Reviews) from one of our finest storytellers. Customer Reviews: Rating:

Death and Honor (Honor Bound)
W.E.B. Griffin does not know how to write a bad book. All of his series are historically accurate, his characters developed to the max and the action just keeps coming. Buy his books on a Friday only. You will not be able to put it down once you start. You should be able to finish by late Sunday night so you won't be late for work Monday and chap off yje Boss.

Death & Honor
I, like many here, have read every Griffin book there is and most more than once. I would like to know how the son, (herein after referred to as Butt II) fits in. Griffin (herein after referred to as Butt I) has apparently shifted much of the writing to Butt II after he outlines the plot. Butt II tries to use the same devices as Butt I has over the years. Recall the much more believable story of the quartermaster at the beginning of one of The Corps series trying to figure out what to do with calvary sabres, as opposed to Donovon trying to figure out what to do with badges ("badges? we don't need no stinking badges") that were sent to him by someone in the OSS. Spending time on that ridiculous scenario much less Frade waving a badge later on in some General's face that
causes the general to give him a red carpet doesn't make any sense.
The bottom line is that I basically enjoyed the book because it is a Griffin book. However, it is most certainly not up to Butt I's standards.
I think all of us Griffin fans are going to have to come to the conclusion that this father son teaming is not going to be nearly as successful as the Shaara father and son teaming (Gods and Generals). However, if Butt II continues the story lines on his own without Butt II's influence then maybe the young man will find his voice and start telling good stories on his own merit. Butt I has certainly left him enough openings in his story lines to do so.
Good luck Butt II! You're going to need it! |
