Thrilling

I hardly read before reading this book. I read Secret Honor when it first came out, and loved it. The plot is fast paced and constantly keeps the reader guessing until the end. When I finished, I turned the page and expected more. I am still waiting for the next book to come out in the series. After reading this book, I read all the books in Griffin's Corps Series and was equally impressed. The Honor Bound series was written so well, that I was afraid of being disappointed by the Corps Series. I was not, Griffin has an unique talent to portray accurate historical facts with characters, and plot lines that make all of his stories truly thrilling. If you like books about the military, World War II or just a plain good read any of Griffins books will not disappoint you.

3rd in Honor Bound Series

Griffin keeps the Honor Bound series going. Frade with all is problems, the War, is now planinng to get married. We get a close look into the Germany High Command. Griffin keeps your attention and interest each and every minuite. Give your self some time. Each both does stand on it's own feet, but as a series it becomes more.

World War II Intrigue at its finest

The third in the Honor Bound series from W.E.B. Griffin, Secret Honor continues the intrigue and intricate sub-plots set in Nazi Germany and neutral Argentina. This novel is interesting from many angles. First as always with Griffin, the WWII military context is rich, insightful, and authoritative. The inside look at the Nazi war machine, its affect on the German officers corps, and their unfolding awareness of the Nazi atrocities makes the book a worthwhile read by itself. But there is much more. The South American setting, with all the complexities of Argentine neutrality, and the culture and politics of Argentina in the 1940's vis-a-vis the Germans and Americans, is a fascinating and unusual angle on WWII. Finally, the characters - Cletus Frade, his new bride Dorotea, the OSS officers, the young Nazi pilot Wachstein, and the mysterious Coronel Peron - are rich, fully developed, and unforgettable. After reading this book I find myself thinking about the characters, and wondering when the fourth in this series will be forthcoming.This is a great book, and a great historical novel. Read this book and read this series! You will thoroughly enjoy it!

Different, but a good read

Having read all of Griffin's books, I've been accustomed to finding that he occasionally takes a side path. This is one of those side paths. But he carries it off with the same style and intensity that he puts into all his books. Not having served in the military, but having worked with and for senior military people all my life, I find his characterizations to be accurate and true to life. I can relate to the characters and find them worth knowing. I expect his next book will take us down yet another path and I am anxious to learn what it will be.

Another Griffin Winner

Having read all of W.E.B. Griffin's novels, in my personal opinion this is the best. It picks up seamlessly where BLOOD AND HONOR left off and continues an interesting and entertaining plot developed in the previous two books of this series. As for comments this novel is not "historically accurate" and is a "soap opera," novels are not supposed to be historically accurate. If it were the work would be nonfiction instead of fiction. A novel should be entertaining so a "soap opera" format is acceptable.
