The Spymasters

A Men at War Novel, Book 7

De: W.E.B. Griffin, William E. Butterworth IV

Narrado por: Christopher Lane

Critics and fans everywhere love the Men at War series, books “rich with witty banter and nail-biting undercover work” (Entertainment Weekly).

It is summer 1943. Two of the Allies’ most important plans are at grave risk: Operation Overlord’s invasion of France and the Manhattan Project’s race to build the atomic bomb. A furious President Roosevelt turns to OSS spy chief Wild Bill Donovan — and Donovan turns to Dick Canidy and his teams behind enemy lines. They’ve certainly got their work cut out for them. In the weeks to come, they must fight the Axis in many ways, to try to find and sabotage Germany’s new “aerial torpedo” rockets, some of which are rumored to be fitted out with deadly nerve gas and aimed at London; to rescue a missing covert OSS team bearing vital secrets; and to exploit German intelligence agents and generals disgruntled enough with Hitler to maybe try to topple him.

And as if all that weren’t enough, they must battle the enemy within, as well: The Soviets are using moles to steal Manhattan Project secrets, and if the Soviets build their own atomic bomb... who knows where that might lead?

Filled to the brim with action, character, and the deep understanding of the military heart and mind that have made Griffin’s novels outstanding, The Spymasters is simply great listening.

Spymasters

Good book and decent ending to the series. It felt a bit rushed towards the end. I would have liked to see Griffen close off some of the other main characters we had spent so much time with, but it is his to tell.

Pretty fun read, quick and easy. Author covered the character world from FDR through Wild Bill Donovan to [our hero] Dick Kanady in 1943 as the OSS does sneaky stuff on Sicily. The writing style appears stilted and artificial, like Army writing, and the long repeats from previous books are annoying. Nevertheless, I had fun reading it.

Any additional comments?

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

The intrigue and reality of WWII captured in stark realism.

I was profoundly sad to finish this series. For anyone sharing my fascination with WWII, Griffin has served up an entertaining, riveting and accurate portrayal with wonderfully created fictional characters.
