Publisher's Summary
Still, the reports filtering out are interesting, and it's Marine lieutenant Ken McCoy's mission to sneak behind the lines and find out if he's for real. With him is a motley group put together as a compromise between the warring factions of Douglas MacArthur and the OSS chief Bill Donovan.
Together, these men will steal into the heart of enemy territory and there, amid firefights and jungle camps, encounter more than they had bargained for. Before they're done, each will undergo a test of his own personal mettle - with results that will surprise even the most hardened of them.
The few, the proud: trace the history of the Marines in W.E.B. Griffin's Corps series.

"Hope they re-record"
If you could sum up Behind the Lines in three words, what would they be?Mostly preparation stories
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?Yes and no. It is another of Griffin's fill-in-the-black books, it seems to me. As always, I enjoy learning about the further development of the characters, but the suspense was a little lacking.
What three words best describe Dick Hill’s voice?Pretty dang good.
Any additional comments?It became apparent how much Dick Hill contributes to the storytelling. He is one of my favorite. However, this one was recorded in '96, and almost all of the character voices are different. This changes perception of the character- most of the time for the worse. I would purchase a new version if it became available. Other than that, Dick is awesome!

"Monotonous"
Maybe I misread the summary, but I thought the book would describe the actions of forces in the Philippines. However, it was more of a description of the back door politics of the military in Washington. If you want a history of the OSS it might be for you, but if you are looking for a war novel describing the action in WWII in the Pacific, you should look elswhere.

"Good but not great"
The best part of this audio file was Dick Hill reading it. Mr Hill could make a grocery list entertaining.
I have listened to another of Mr. Griffin's books dealing with Gen. Fertig and expected this book to "tell the rest of the story" of how the OSS assisted him in the PI using the characters from his earlier book to which he alluded sending assistance, but did not follow the same story line.
To bad Mr. Griffin does not read his own books as would have given it 5 stars had he followed along his version of history.
All in all still an entertaining listen of you like his books a little history of WW II.0 of 1 people found this review helpful
