About this listen

Dick Canidy and the agents of the OSS scour war torn Poland looking for a rocket scientist who holds the secrets to the Nazis most dangerous weapon in this entry in W.E.B. Griffin's New York Times bestselling Men at War series.

April 1940. By terms of the Soviet Nazi Nonaggression pact, the two dictatorships divided the helpless nation of Poland. Now, the Russians are rounding up enemies of the state in their occupation zone, but one essential target slips away. Dr. Sebastian Kapsky had spent years working with Walter Riedel and Werner von Braun in the early days of rocket science, but as a man with a conscience he refused to continue when he saw the perversion of their work by the Nazis. That makes him the most knowledgeable person about German superweapons outside of Germany.

The Germans want him. The Soviets are desperate to grab him, but Wild Bill Donovan knows there's only one man who can find him in the middle of a war zone and get him out—Dick Canidy.

Not WEB Griffin

I do not know what this story has to do with any of WEB Griffin books but they need to find another author to fill in for him

Great Read

Enjoyed the build up and action throughout the story without repeating too much history from other books.

Just NOT the same as previous books.

Since WEB Griffin passed away, others have been writing his books like many others have done. The person that wrote this one, obviously failed to read the other books in the series. The character facts are all wrong & he doesn't follow the timeline. It feels forced & just doesn't fit.

Hash work

The writer really should have read the earlier series. This was written as if all the preceding books did not exist. Not the slightest consistency in character background or history. Not anywhere close to WEB’s talent.

Good Book, but not quite to Mr. Griffins level

I did enjoy this book, but it is obvious this was written by someone other than Mr. Butterworth(yes I know he has passed away) but some of the difference is perfectly fine, and other parts that glare out to me are, timeline issues in general and then timeline issues with the rest of the series, specifically timeline issues with Dick Canidy and Eric Fulmar.

Now I know there are from time to time inconsistencies with book to book in series, and I understand this, but there is some serious flaws of the timeline.

Granted this review is a few weeks after reading it so I may not be dead on, but I recall the timeline for Canidy being back in the US for a mission for Col. Donovan is too soon for his having served with the AVG in China, as they really were not active until after Dec. 7 and involving Eric Fulmar as soon as they did in the timeline in this book is flatly wrong from the other books as he is resisting being used by the US for a while at least until around the time of Operation Torch.

these are just a couple things that stood out to me.

All in all it was still a very good book, as it takes a lot to write to W.E.B. Griffins level, at least for me and my reading enjoyment. But he was the second or third author I found a love for in my teenage years.

So so

Certainly not up to W.E.B’s standards. I would think the abridged version would be better. The narrator has a very good voice but he just didn’t work for me. I’ll have to think real hard to listen to any more Griffin books written by Mr. Kirsanow.

Carry on

For a sequel by another author it was pretty good, much of it reads like the original, however it strays from the character bios considerably

Devil’s Weapons

A mediocre sequel to an otherwise great series. Somewhat disappointing. Wish the story had stayed consistent with prior ones.

Oddly Disconnected

This book’s disconnection from the timeline of the rest of the series detracted from my overall enjoyment. The author is an adequate substitute for Mr. Griffin, but the book doesn’t fit the rest of the series, and the ending is oddly abrupt.
