Death and Honor (Honor Bound Series #4)

by W. E. B. Griffin, William E. Butterworth IV

Overview

June 1943. Many Germans—some of them high-ranking officers—believe the tides of war have turned against them.

Increased activity suggests there may be truth to whispers heard by Office of Strategic Services spies: that the Nazis are extorting Jews outside Germany to buy their relatives’ freedom from extermination camps, then smuggling the ransom in Operation Phoenix to fund safe havens in Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay for senior Nazi officials when Germany falls.

With so much money and more at stake, lives are, too, and it’s up to USMC Major Cletus Frade—the top OSS spook in “neutral” Argentina—to find out.

That is, before the ruthless Nazis order his murder...

From the Publisher

The solid fourth Honor Bound thriller from bestseller Griffin and son Butterworth picks up where 2000's Secret Honor left off, with OSS agent Cletus Frade still tangling with high-level Nazis in supposedly neutral Argentina in 1943. Fans of WWII-era military fiction, many of whom will likely know little about the South American theater during this period, will welcome this encyclopedic tome, which leaves no small or large historic fact unturned, including recently discovered information exposing the involvement of future Argentine leader Juan Perón in the Nazi cause. In a story that's more spy-vs.-spy than military action, the authors meticulously recreate place and time. Those seeking an easier entry into Griffin's military novels might be advised to start with one of the better-known series such as Presidential Agents (By Order of the President, etc.) or Men at War (The Last Heroes, etc.).

Publishers Weekly

In the last installment (1999) of Griffin’s Honor Bound series, Cletus Frade, a U.S. Marine fighter pilot turned OSS officer, was sent to Argentina in 1943 to learn what he could about two secret Nazi operations. This time the story picks up just after Frade has survived a German assassination attempt and his Argentinean father is killed. Scott Brick is adept at switching between Latin and German accents and English. His pronunciation of guttural German names and titles is impeccable. One can vividly imagine his characters goose-stepping and saluting. Griffin excels in making simple conversation exciting, and Brick's ironic tone holds one’s attention even though a conversation may last several tracks. Here's hoping we don't have to wait another nine years for the next installment. A.L.H. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
