Editor's Notes and Comments:
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 very 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 very 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.

This is a very difficult review, The Honor Bound series is possibly my favorite WEB Griffin series, comparable to the very first few Corp books. I enjoyed reading this book, but... Well, the spark has gone, the excitement and dashing characters have dulled and become cardboard. The plot is not tight, it wanders looking for direction, and logic as left the room. Also the vivid detail of locations and atmosphere is completely absent.
Logically, the idea of a junior officer casually being given the great military secret of the war the Manhattan Project, is so ludicrous so wreck the believability in the story. Added to the impossible secret meeting with the president in hotel rooms, being palls with Howard Hughes, getting away with defying the orders of the President and OSS Chief's at will without ramifications, it's just getting silly at that point.
Also this "Life Styles of the Rich and Famous", plot element that Griffin uses in EVERY book is getting tired. Its not so bad as His new Presidential Agent series, which pushes believability off a cliff.
This book is not terrible, its not even just fair, its good, just not GREAT, and great is what I am used to from Mr. Griffin.

This book, which Griffin (William E. Butterworth III's nom de plume) writes with his son, is better than some of their other joint efforts, but still not up to the level we have come to expect in Griffin's older books.
The proof reading has been improved, which had become a problem in some of his more recent novels.
I would probably give five stars to any other author for this book, but I tend to hold Griffin to a higher standard, since we have all seen the top quality he can turn out when he puts his mind to it.
It makes for a fun read, but, unlike some of his other books, you can put this one down and then pick it up again later. You are not pulled into the action with the desire to just read one more page before you set it down for the evening.

W.E.B. Griffin continues his great traditional of military storytelling. This is another fine example of his ability to weave a compelling story around a little know aspect of WWII. His characters and writing style always leaves me waiting for the subsequent novel.
