Description

Fiction. Literature. Thriller. Historical Fiction. A crackling new novel in the bestselling Honor Bound series, by the master of the military thriller.As with his three enormously popular series�??Brotherhood of War, The Corps, and Badge of Honor�??Honor Bound and Blood and Honor, W.

If Frade can't figure out a way to hold them all off, then the futures of all three men may be very short indeed.Written with all the special flair that Griffin's readers expect, filled with high drama and real heroes, Secret Honor is further proof, in Tom Clancy's words, that "Griffin is a storyteller in the grand tradition." �??This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of th… (more)

Yes, the soap opera continues. Talk about your guilty pleasure. But then what else am I going to do, its not like I'm going to fence here.

Interesting plot based on WWII history in Argentina. A man's book with lots of machismo. I gotta keep reading the series to see what happens with the characters...even though this book was 19+ hours and the others are that long, too. In the middle of the book, the German fighter pilot is recalled
