Summary: Never get enough of W.E.B. Griffin
Review: What a great read! I've become an avid reader of Griffin's books since the summer of 1999. My library now has 26 books - all read and eagerly awaiting another - and another. A friend of mine started me with a few "out of sequence" Brotherhood of War books and that did it! I immediately purchased the remainder through AMAZON.COM. The other series fell quickly into place as well. This man has a great style, one that puts him right "up there" with my other favorites, Tom Clancey and Joseph Wambaugh. Acutally, W.E.B. is "numero uno" as far as I'm concerned. In reading some of the reviews, yes - there are editorial mistakes, along with some factual ones as well (for example: operations plan is correctly abbreviated OPLAN not "Opplan," and the message formats are a bit "off" - however, none of this detracts in any significant way from the story-telling ability of Griffin and the spellbinding effect he has on the reader. In my opinion, having spent 32 years of active duty in the U.S. Coast Guard (enlisted to Chief Petty Officer; Warrant Officer (Comms); and Ensign through Commander (regular commission) - he KNOWS the inside/outside of military life - the pomp & circumstance - the "games" - the whole nine-yards! There is little doubt that anyone who has spent more than a tour of duty in the military has picked up on these nuances. He makes the reader feel as if he has been there. That's what separates him from the "pretenders." Kudos to W.E.B. Griffin.

Summary: Far-fetched, but so absorbing.....
Review: I've read all the fiction written by W.E.B and admit to being a big fan. "In Danger's Path" is just the latest in a long, long line of 2nd World War-related sagas of men in conflict and in and out of love. There are times when I irritatedly flicked through pages, recognising the old Griffin ploys of reintroducing past characters and setting the historical background to now-familiar stories from previous novels, but the old feller kept me entranced most of the time. The Gobi Desert episode certainly stretched my incredulity, but with WEB you always feel that the implausible is just possible....

Summary: Couldn't Set It Down
Review: Another terrific story by my favorite author. The folks in various places where I read this, were wondering about my laughing and chuckling. An excellent adventure with wonderful subtle humor. Griffin continues to have great research for the authenticity of people, places, and events. This is such a relief from the cookie cutter events of certain other best selling adventure authors. I can't wait to find out what happens to Pick and Capt. Weston. Quickly, where is that next book?

Summary: always a good yarn, and has improved weak areas
Review: This book continues the very popular _The Corps_ series, which may well be Griffin's best overall effort in novels about the profession of arms. Exciting yarn, excellent description of the military (in this, case, Naval/USMC) dialogue and character, good mix of people to like and not to like, plenty of amusing stuff. Everything, in short, that we have come to expect from Griffin. The reason he merits the top rating is that the above are so consistently excellent that they always overshadow the usual flaws.Griffin's historical weaknesses are name consistency, proofreading, and repetition of pet plot themes. He has improved in most of these areas but only marginally. I mean, for goddess' sake, he's misspelled Vinegar Joe Stilwell's last name. However, the main predictability is still with us: males behaving erratically, copulating with multiple females at same time, getting in *big* trouble. I do wonder if Griffin's capable of writing a book in which infidelity doesn't play a starring role. Nonetheless, I recommend _In Danger's Path_ enthusiastically.

Summary: WOW, I can't wait for 9, 10, 11, 12, 13.....99
Review: WEB Griffin does it again. This series just gets better and better. To link those thought lost from the first book and tie it up and bring them together again keeps you wanting more and more.

Summary: W.E.B. Griffin STILL dominates this genre
Review: I ordered Griffin's latest along with the new war fiction releases War of the Rats and The Triumph and the Glory, and have been very impressed with all three--the master has some new competition to keep him from coasting! But he is still #1. In Danger's Path, the 8th book of The Corps series is every bit as good as the rest, maybe even more so. I hope he continues to entertain us for many years to come.

Summary: Absolutly great, I can't wait to get the follow on.
Review: Griffin as always writes a book that I don't seem able to put down. I have read every book he has written and I have the complete library. His facts are close enough to make you feel that you are actually there and experiencing the adventure as you read. Why haven't they made a movie of any of these books?

Summary: As usual-EXCELLENT, SPELLBINDING, EXCITING
Review: As an X-Marine, Vietnam Veteran, 20 plus year law enforcement officer and avid reader of all Griffins' books, I feel the write has either done some excellent research or has actually "lived" the experiences he writes about. I look forward to each and every new book/story he puts out. Whether it be about world war II, police or Marine... Sign me: A fan forever
