Summary: One of the most entertaining books I have read this year.
Review: Griffin's abitlity to keep the reader involved is great!! I have now read all his books and have been left waiting for more. The charcters are fully developed and posses true depth.

Summary: Distinguished action combined with obvious technical perfect
Review: His cast of characters from the colorful evasive Sgt Zimmerman to the bold and daring McCoy keeps the reader on the edge. From every man that has put a pair of boondockers beneath his cot at night to the reader that has never seen action, Griffin brings the description and adventure to focus as in real life. A True military writer of this age

Summary: Another great book from America's most readable author!
Review: I am a tremendous fan of W.E. B. Griffin's work. I have read the Brotherhood of War series, the Corps series, the Badge of Honor series and many of his other books. This book is another in a long line of great action adventure books that you can not put down until you have read the entire book. You find yourself reading and re-reading this book over the passing months. It's just a phenomenal tale.

Summary: Another masterpiece
Review: I can't believe that Mr. Griffin has done it again. This book kept me on the edge from start to finish. I have read his previous books but this by far was the best yet. He has the unigue ability to keep the reader on his toes and glued to the pages. My only critism is: why isn't McCoy getting the promotions as quickly as the others. "Pluto" went for a 1st Lt to major in a page, while with all that Ken is doing he finally gets promoted to Captian. This book and series is a must read for anyone even vaguely interested in WWII or the Corps. ESSAYONS

Summary: I couldn't put the book down until I read every word
Review: I cannot believe that I have survived this long without the next book. Mr. Griffen please finish the Corps series before going on with those much less interesting other books. We must find out what happens to all those unique and very interesting characters. Please get on with it.

Summary: THE MOST GRIPPING AND REALISTIC I'VE EVER READ
Review: I HAVE BEEN A POLICE OFFICER FOR THE PAST 12 YEARS. THIS IS TRULY THE MOST AUTHENTIC READ I'VE EVER SEEN. GROWING UP HEARING THE STORIES OF WWII, THIS BRINGS HOME WHAT AMERICA TRULY STANDS FOR, AND REALISTICLY BLENDS FACT WITH FICTION. I'VE ENJOYED ALL OF THE BOOKS IN EACH SERIES, "THE BROTHERHOOD OF WAR". "THE CORP", AND "BADGE OF HONOR". I'VE READ AND REREAD THESE BOOKS UNTIL THE COVERS ARE ALMOST GONE AND ENJOYED EVERY MOMENT OF IT. I ANXIOUSLY AWAIT EACH NEW BOOK, AND HAVE NEVER BEEN LET DOWN. GRIFFIN CAPTURES THE REAL, HARD TO VERBALIZE FEELINGS AND THOUGHTS THAT RUN THROUGH THE MINDS OF THOSE OF US WHO DO THIS EVERYDAY. PLEASE KEEP ON WRITING.

Summary: It just keeps getting better. Authentic, gripping and real!
Review: I have read (and re-read) all of this author's books at least 5 times, and as a retired Naval Chief Petty Officer, I can attest to their realism, gutwrenching tension, authentic battle scenarios, tear-jerking reunions and farewells, and the absolutely captivating parade of truly believable, unforgettable characters that he has brought to life for my enjoyment. I vicariously relive my days of active duty through his books (all three series). "The Brotherhood of War" series was my companion on a long, lonely voyage around South America (a Warrant Officer--the ship's Bosun of USS Independence-- turned me on to it) in 1988. I raided a book store in Virginia Beach, Va prior to the cruise and had the entire set, except for "The Aviator's" which I managed to have sent to me along the way; it caught up to me before the cruise ended. I devour all his books and eagerly await the next. I celebrate his expertise and marvel at the depth of his research and his grasp of the inner workings (and foul-ups) of the military machine. I specially like reading the message traffic that he recreates. It is all absolutely authentic and a joy to consume. I even identify with the "Badge of Honor" series because I was stationed at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyards and came to know the city quite well. His attention to detail concerning the layout of the city and his practice of using the actual street names makes me feel as if I am riding along with the officers on their beats. It brings back many fond memories of that beautiful and historic city. I wish this author a long, long life and I selfishly hope for many more from his two remaining series of books. I absolutely love his work. When I grow up I want to be just like him!

Summary: W.E.B. Griffin writes it so real, I thought I was there !!!
Review: I have read all of the "Brotherhood of War" and "The Corps"series. This is the best, by far. W.E.B. Griffin blends fact with fiction, from the pompous MacArthur, to "Killer" McCoy. I couldn't put the book down. His depiction of WW II Philippines was excellant. I was stationed there with the Air Force, 1989 - 1991. I felt as if he really knew the filipino people himself. I can't wait for the next book.
