Resumen del Editor

As Japanese forces close in for an all-out effort to recapture Guadalcanal from the American forces occupying the island, many fates converge and intertwine. First Lieutenant William Dunn, 21 years old but already one of the only two pilots remaining from his fighter squadron’s original 16, must learn what it is like to lead men - and to lose them. Hot-tempered Sergeant Thomas McCoy finds he has a hero’s welcome waiting stateside - if he can avoid a court-martial first. On a bloody island, Major Jake Dillon discovers just how much combat is involved in a combat correspondent’s life. First Lieutenant R.B. Macklin, a consummate bully, is put on a War Bond tour so he will not endanger his own men. General Fleming Pickering, on a ticklish diplomatic mission, attempts to balance the hot and mighty temperaments of General Douglas MacArthur, OSS Chief William “Wild Bill” Donovan, and Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox. Corporal Robert Easterbrook, still wet behind the ears, discovers that the price of success in wartime may be uncomfortably high. From the Solomons to Australia to Washington, D.C., the warriors - plus the wives and sweethearts who love them - once more find themselves with the challenges of their lives...

Awesome Book in an Awesome Series

I have been reading books by W.E.B. Griffin for over 30 years. The Corps is some of his best work.

Thanks!

Dick Hill does an amazing job with the characters in the Corps series. I’ve read the entire series 10 times, I am now on my 3rd listening of the audio books. Many if the characters sound like what I had in my mind. Great job!

outstanding

Great book and series. I have read a couple and listened to the rest. I will start the next one tomorrow.

Love The Killer, Ken McCoy.

As with the entire Corp series this book was excellent work. WEB. the 3rd is my favorite author.

Well produced and executed!

This book, like to ones before, has the same narrator. It works because the voice is the same throughout!

Close combat

F to the next few weeks I think n to be there for by your own house or something that is going well for me but I’m going back to work and work

A good listen

I am listening on my way to work and home. Great way to spend to spend the time.

Captures your attention.

Just when I think I see where the storyline is going, it takes a turn in another direction. This type of story telling mixing fact with fiction also teaches you about history.

Dick hill is superb at character definition with his skillful ability to form pictures in your mind of the characters he defines so well with his voice. Anxious to start the next book in the series.

Excellent

Always a good listen. Griffin has written compelling military narratives about America’s warriors and heroes
