Publisher's summary

It's 1942. A Marine aviator, an Army paratrooper and demolitions expert, and a non-com radio man are on an impossible mission for the OSS - sabotaging the resupply of German ships and submarines by any means necessary!

First Lieutenant Cletus Frade is fresh from Guadalcanal. He teams up with Second Lieutenant Anthony Pelosi and Sergeant David Ettinger for the most critical OSS operation of the war.

Under the direction of the mysterious Colonel Loman, they venture into a simmering stew of German and Allied agents, collaborators, and government security thugs, of men and women hiding their pasts and plotting their futures - all in supposedly neutral city of Buenos Aires.

Critic reviews

"Griffin's reconstruction of upper-class Argentine society in the 1940s provides an exotic and credible setting for a tautly written story whose twists and turns will keep readers guessing until the last page." ( Publishers Weekly)

Great story horrible narration!

I've read the book before. It truly is Griffin (the elder) at his best. I can't believe Mr. Griffin who lives in Argentina and who has spent a lot of time in Germany would allow such a lousy narrator read his book. Buy the hard copy and boycott the E version.

One of my favorite series by W.E.B. Griffin

Would you consider the audio edition of Honor Bound to be better than the print version?

I like audiobook best I can listen anytime any place. No matter what I'm doing.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

All books by WED Griffin are written in a style I call (I Was There) the reader is part of the story. The characters are friends or those you works with. It is very easies to become part of the story

What about Dick Hill’s performance did you like?

Dick Hill is one of my favorite readers

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I enjoy the whole series. I have it saved on a flash drive. I listen to the whole series once a year. The first book in a new series requires a lot of character development. Which is done well. The book has a few good twists and turns like all Griffins novels do.

Any additional comments?

As a US Veteran I can relate to the writing of WEB Griffin.
The reading of general orders.
The explanation of Chain of Command.
Helps set the time and place for each series.
As always a Big Well Done.

Was web griffin a drunk

This author,’s cure for everything is booze. This leads me to wonder if he had a drinking problem, or if his society was as alcoholic as he apparently was.

Great story! Really engaged you!

The pronunciation of Argentine Spanish was atrocious! Argentines don't speak Spanish like most Latin Americans! I probably would have enjoyed reading it more than listening to it because of the poor pronunciation.
