The Spymasters: A Men at War Novel, Book 7

more of an in depth story focusing on the actual action

to much time was spent on interpersonal mumbo jumbo which went nowhere.

no, but he did an excellent Job, with the script he had to work with. Maybe he can redo all of the "Men in Blue" series, because Michael Russotto is a DISASTER.

I am original Griffin Fan, beginning with the Lieutenants, this book although long awaited, was slow on action. Nothing at all like all the other Griffin books.

..and credits. The writer needs to find a plot before trying to make it a book. The story was dull, rambling and had no real ending. This was a part of a series? Unbelievable that anyone would spend the time or money to publish such rubbish.

No because it does not put the effort into context with WW II.

No. It is not up to previous books by same author.

Again W.E.B. Griffin makes us long for the days when honor and dedication meant something. He has a singular way of taking historical events and giving them life as the reader is not only involved, but part of the story. From FDR's machevellian nature to the "devil may care" attitude of Canidy, he gives us dreams of the days of Yore.

I don't know who actually wrote this book, my guess is Mr. Griffin just lent his name to it to make a few bucks. Other Griffin books I have read were well done and well researched. This book was embarrassingly bad. It kept talking about speeches to the United Nations made in 1943. Ummmm the UN didn't come about until after the war. Lets go with 1945! It is silly screw ups like this that just ruin the enjoyability of the book.

No

The narration seemed really slow. I had to speed it up to 1.25 speed to make it tolerable (before I quit listening to the book halfway through)

Disappointment. I love books about this time period and in this genre. If you are going to write historical fiction you owe it to your readers to actually research your topic. This book was so amateurish that high school kids would spot the flaws.

pass on this one.

The story should be as fast paced and realistic as the previous books. To flat, one sided, with a lot of extraneous thought based musings.

I liked their other books, but this is a failure.

Dick Hill, the reader of the other books.

disappointment.

The Men of War series was WEB Griffin's second best, after honor bound. honor bound also got to be a little to stuffy and romantic and predictable, with the addition of Griffin's son, but not as bad as this one, and not such a dramatic decline. The character of Kepler is a total waste, no Hans Peter Von Wachstein, but the formula is the same and a lost opportunity. These books used to be good for the 400 mile drives, and still make you sit in the car for the last ten seconds when the hero's win against all the odds. No more. Better luck next time- I think I will return this one.

I could not finish. The magnitude of the errors about the German V1 and V2 programs, Which the author conflates and confuses, made it un "readable".

Done some fact checking and historical research about the V weapons.

All the scenes suggesting that the Brits were terrified of the V weapons.

As always with WEB Griffin, he blends historical fact with a bit of romance and fiction. One always comes away learning something new.

His narrative style is quite good and stacks up well against such mainstays of the Griffin genre as Scott Brick.

I would love to see any of the Griffin series brought to the silver screen.

Oh yes

No offense but he was not up to the great job Scott Brick does.

I am a huge fan of Griffin and am lessening to all of them.

no, reader is too bad

never, he was terrible

Great book and storyline ruined by the reader, makes them sound like cartoonish weasels from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit"
