Resumen del Editor

Griffin's Honor Bound novels have been hailed as "terrific" (Newark Star-Ledger) and "immensely entertaining" (Kirkus Reviews), with "enough derring-do, romance, and action to satisfy Griffin's legions of fans and bring him new ones" (Rocky Mountain News).

August 6, 1943: In his brief career in the Office of Strategic Services, 24-year-old Cletus Frade has already been involved in a lot of unusual situations, but nothing like the one he's in now, standing with a German lieutenant colonel named Wilhelm Frogger in a Mississippi prisoner-of-war detention facility. Frade's job? To help Frogger escape. Frogger's parents are in Frade's custody in Argentina, because of their involvement in a secret German plan to establish safe havens for senior Nazi officials in South America, and the younger Frogger has agreed to help find out what they know.

Even more important, however, is the secret within the secret. Before he was captured in Africa, Frogger was part of a conspiracy; its goal: to assassinate Adolf Hitler. If the OSS can use his knowledge and connections to nudge that plot along, even just a little bit, they may be able to end this war right now.

But Frade is not the only one who knows about the Froggers. Even as he stands there in Mississippi, a troop of Germans and Argentinians, led by a Colonel Juan Perón, is on its way to kill the parents and, after them, Frade himself. His career in the OSS may have been brief - but it may just be about to be over.

Filled with the special flair that Griffin's fans have come to expect, The Honor of Spies is another rousing adventure from one of our finest storytellers.

Interesting History

Fascinating subject and much interesting dialogue to pay attention to. I downgrade only because I do not like Scott Brick's reading and a realistic German accent is required. Other reviews have gotten me interested enough in the rest of the series to listen to it inspite of Brick's erzatz emotion.

Great Series

Very good book. I have enjoyed the series so far. Can't wait to start the next book.

Scott brick is the god of voices The man knows his

another great book excellent character development interesting historical attributes plus the bonus of having Scott brick read it

love WEB

his stories are so intriguing I want to learn more about the characters. I wish I can meet them and find out more about their lives

too much back story

Nearly 50% of his book was back story trying to tell me what happened the last 4 books I know what happened last 4 books I actually listened his series in order What a concept huh?

Superb story

Fantastic story, based heavily on facts. Scott Brick does superb job with Spanish, German, British, and American accents.

Good Story, bad naration

If you could sum up The Honor of Spies in three words, what would they be?

Great book

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes

Would you be willing to try another one of Scott Brick???s performances?

NO! Once again Scott Brick demonstrates that he is not up to the task of performing a book with non-english words & names. He continuously mispronouces non-english words and names making his naration a nail on the chalk board experience.

loved it.

I am truly enjoying the whole series. this book was exceptional. A an added enjoyment my most favorite narrator read it!

WEB does it again!!!

What made the experience of listening to The Honor of Spies the most enjoyable?

This Cletus Frade series has been very entertaining. I find myself waiting for the next episode. The only thing that keeps this from 5 stars all the way is WEB's tendency to repeat details that the reader already knows from multiple repeats of details.

What about Scott Brick’s performance did you like?

One of the things I look for in an audio book is the name Scott Brick he brings life to his characters

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

to long for one sitting

Amazing

I truly love the way he developed each character and look forward to more books
