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???

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.

As Usual, an Excellent read

I Spent almost 30 Years as a Navy Corpsman. At least half that time with the Corps. Mr. Griffin has been able to catch the true spirit of the Corps. As an amature historian I find this novel not only entertaining, but historically accurate. I can hardly wait for the next book in the series

Griffin does something different

Instead of covering his characters over a period of many years as he usually does with his military characters, Griffin restricts himself to a relatively brief period of a few months. He also uses an original twist: World War Two covert warfare in neutral Argentina. A great read.
