Resumen del Editor

Korea, June 1, 1950. Captain Ken McCoy's report on probable North Korean hostilities meets with so much bureaucratic displeasure that not only is it promptly suppressed, but McCoy himself is kicked out of the Corps. At least two outfits, however, are not impressed by such infighting: the fledgling CIA, which promptly hires McCoy; and the North Koreans, who on June 25th invade across the 38th parallel.

Immediately, veterans scattered throughout military and civilian life are called up, many with only seventy-two hours' notice. For Fleming Pickering and Pick, his daredevil son, and Ed Banning, George Hart, Jack Stecker, Jake Dillon, Ernie Zimmerman - and for the women who love them - names such as Inchon and Pusan will acquire a new, bloody reality, and Korea will become not only a new battlefield - but their greatest challenge of all....

Fast Forward for repeat performance

What made the experience of listening to Under Fire the most enjoyable?

I really like WEB Griffin's stories of military fiction. The Corps is an excellent series of books in both text and audio.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Under Fire?

No particular moment. It is an all around good strory.

What does Dick Hill bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Yes.. Dick Hill does an excellent job of narration.

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

Yes, but it like the others, is long. You cannot complete this book in one sitting. But, I keep sneaking back for more. I have already read the texts.

Any additional comments?

There is a timeline gap from from 1943 until 1950. I think Griffin could have, or intended to, use it for another book. He had plenty of material to work with. Also, the story line in this book and the next (continuation) of McCoy's work is based on a mission of a Lt who worked behind the lines at Inchon. That book, in non-fiction, is a great read -- not available in audio.

Too much inconsistencies

Nine books in and Griffin can not keep his story lines straight.

McCoy killed 2 Italian marines. He and the Capt. shot the bandits in China, then Zimmerman got into action.

I too agree with other reviews about the bouncing story line.

Why is it necessary to review most of the previous books? Most people don't start a series at book 9. The only thing I can think is he was covering pages with recolections in order to fill a void.

I was really enjoying this series. This book was a HUGE LET DOWN!

Griffin is in the top 3 best authors I've ever read. his characters are amazing, the story grabs you and won't let you go, and if u ever served in the military you can't help but get emotional. just absolutely amazing.

Excellent as usual

All of the Corps series have been excellent. This one bridged the gap from WW2 to Korea perfectly.
