The Corps, Book 5

De: W. E. B. Griffin

Narrado por: Dick Hill

While the bloody battle for control of the Solomons rages on, two Marines are trapped at a Coastwatcher station on tiny Buka Island. They are there to report on Japanese air activity, and their position is becoming increasingly perilous, even while their supplies are diminishing rapidly; if they are not rescued soon, they may never make it off the island. On the orders of newly-commissioned Marine Brigadier General Fleming Pickering, a team is assembled: Captain Charles Galloway, still recuperating from his crash into the sea; Second Lieutenant Malcolm Pickering, Fleming’s son and the owner of a dangerous daredevil streak; Lieutenant Ken “Killer” McCoy, China Marine and hardened veteran; Sergeant Thomas McCoy, his brother, a man of such temper and talent that he keeps getting busted back to PFC and then promoted back again; and Sergeant George Hart, the youngest detective ever on the St. Louis vice squad, tricked into military service and now determined to make his mark. These men, and their colleagues, are about to attempt the impossible: to take the beleaguered Marines off Buka, under the very noses of the Japanese. They will have only one chance - so they’d better get it right…

Slow to start but finishes well

Once again another excellent install it in the series. Having read presidential agent novel before this series, we seem to be a lot of parallels. Officers with excellent intentions getting in over their head a bit, often exceeding their absolute authority but staying with the spirit of their charge. Thanks for excellent reading.

Great listen. Disk Hill does different t voices,

Great listen. Disk Hill does different t voices, men and women, so we'll. You know which characters are speaking. A great edition to the series.

WEB GRIFFIN AT HIS BEST

The Corps series is one long series of books toed together by characterd who love this country and sre willing to pay the ultimate price to defend it I love these men and women. i love this series and consewuently i love this book!

Great story read by an excellent narrator

Books by WEB Griffin are highly entertaining and yet have accurate history to make them very real feeling. The narrator is highly skilled at portraying the characters as though you are watching the movie

Great story - extremely well written and narrated.

Excellent story - classic Griffin, lots of action and wonderfully developed characters. Most notable, Dick Hill is back to do the narration.

Awesome book and series!

Great book, well narrated. It can be a little difficult to stay in the story with a single (well talented) voice modulatimg to give female, Australian, US Southern and NY accents. I really appreciate the narrator's talent and skill. Can a female narrator come in for the womens' voices?
All that said, this is an enthralling story and series. I am a combat vet. These stories touch me is a deep and special way. God bless all involved in this book series from the author to the team in the sound stage for the narrator. Thank you.

Another great one!

Can't wait to listen to the next one. W.E.B. Griffin is one of my favorite writers.

Gets Better and Better

The Corps series is definitely a man-oriented series. The characters are macho, heroic, dedicated, yet sometimes crass and disgusting. They represent the true enigma that makes the military male.

As the son of a WWII veteran who fought the Japanese and the father of a current Marine, I have a definite bias toward these stories. yet I loved them years ago when I read them on paper.

Dick Hill's narration just makes the stories even better.

This book continues the storylines from Guadalcanal and Buka. The book is very well written and makes the reader root for the men and women in harm's way as well as their personal struggles, fears, and desires.

Looking forward to the next books in the series. Mr. Griffin, keep them coming and I will keep buying.
