The crackling new novel in the bestselling Honor Bound series, by the master of the military thriller. As with his other enormously popular series, the first two novels in W. E .B. Griffin’s saga of World War II espionage in Germany and Argentina – Honor Bound and Blood and Honor – became immediate bestsellers and were hailed as “immensely entertaining adventures” (Kirkus Reviews). Now, in Secret Honor, Griffin creates his most rousing novel yet. In Wolf’s Lair, a German general works toward the assassination of Adolf Hitler. In Buenos Aires, the general’s son, code-named Galahad, falls under suspicion by the SS after a Nazi operation suddenly goes bad. In the middle of it all is OSS agent Cletus Frade, who knows the identity of father and son and what they will do next…if they can survive that long. For not only are SS and Abwehr officers hot on their trails in both countries, but the OSS has branded Frade a rogue agent and is determined to shake the truth from him, at whatever cost. If Frade can’t figure a way to hold them all off, then the futures of all three men may be very short indeed…. Written with the special flair that Griffin’s readers expect, filled with high drama and real heroes, Secret Honor is further proof, in Tom Clancy’s words, that “Griffin is a storyteller in the grand tradition.”

Behind the Lines is W. E. B. Griffin''s powerful novel of World War II -- and the courage, patriotism, and sacrifice of those who fought it. By 1942, the Japanese have routed the outnumbered American forces and conquered the Philippines. But deep in the island jungles, the combat continues. Refusing to surrender, a renegade Army officer organizes a resistance force and vows to fight to the last man. A Marine leads his team on a mission through the heart of enemy territory. And the nation''s proudest sons fight uncelebrated battles that will win -- or lose -- the war . . .

In The Last Heroes, the first of the Men At War series, it''s June 1941. Franklin D. Roosevelt and "Wild Bill" Donovan orchestrate the most complex espionage organization in history, the Office of Strategic Services. OSS members assemble under a thin camouflage of diplomacy and then disperse throughout the world to conduct operations to alter the outcome of war. No operation is more crucial than that of pilot Richard Canidy and Eric Fulmar: To secure the rare ore that will power a top-secret weapon coveted on both sides of the Atlantic -- the atom bomb. The Last Heroes is pages of action that dash from the closed doors of Washington to battlefront territories.

Dien Bien Phu, Saigon, Hanoi. In 1954, they were only exotic names from a French campaign halfway around the world. But now American fighting men--proven on the bloody beaches of Normandy and in the minefields of Korea--are summoned to help beat back the guerrilla forces of Ho Chi Minh. To some, the "secret" war in indochina was the depth of folly. To others, like the Majors, it pointed to the heights of glory. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.
