Honor Bound

When will I learn? I read the first book of Semper Fi, thought it was pretty good and when several more of Griffin's book went on sale, I bought three. This is the second I bought and it is awful. Nothing happens in this book. I stuck it out for eleven chapters, but lost patience.

Dick Hill is my favorite narrator and he did a good job, although I will agree with others I did not like the echo effect. If you have listened to any of McCaffery's Dragon books, then you know what I an talking about.

The book started slowly but as you listen you begin to like the main characters, father, son, and the other characters linked to them. I'm not normally a fan of military based novels but will puchase other books in the series by this author. I would have given this book 4.5 to 5 stars with the exception that it ended a bit abruptly. I would have liked a bit more follow up on the relationships the author developed throughout the novel but still well worth listening to.

I read the series years ago, now I want to revisit them all in audio format. About the only complaint that I had was that someone should have told Dick Hill that the name Jorge is pronounced "Hor-Hey" and not "Hor-Gay". That was just annoying.
Other than that I enjoyed it.

86 year old William Edward Butterworth III has been authoring or coauthoring military thrillers under his own name and various pseudonyms for 57 years. During that period he has released over 160 novels about one-third of which are available in audiobook format. Butterworth's best known pseudonym is W.E.B. Griffin. Honor Bound is one of many military thrillers released under the Griffin pseudonym; some are coauthored with his son William Edward Butterworth IV. The best of the books are written by Griffin alone.

Honor Bound is an excellent military thriller with outstanding narration by Dick Hill. I highly recommend all of the W.E.B. Griffin novels written without a coauthor. Most of the novels are narrated by either Dick Hill, Scott Brick, or Eric G. Dove who are three of the very best.

Great! Great! Great!

You need more books to listen to by W.E.B. Griffin.

And I normally
like Dick Hill - but the experience is nearly ruined by the gimmick of using an echo effect to indicate inner thoughts

This was the only book in the series I didn't have I've heard it about 3 or 4 times Mr Griffin is my favorite author I own all the war series audiobooks

This story was done extremely well with the times it just seem like it was unfolding right in front of you. I was particularly like the main character having his subconsciousness revealed through a change invoice. Story put together very well story

Great Story, enjoyed it a lot. moved and never got bored with it.

All of them

Yes

Narrater did a great job, drew you into the story.

Story is believable, well-researched and suspenseful.

Drags on a little too long, but the end of the mission is never obvious.

I normally like this narrator, but he should NOT do a book with lots of Spanish names. Why not ask SOMEONE WHO SPEAKS THE LANGUAGE how to pronounce the main character's name? Really, you had JUST ONE JOB here. I heard "Yor-gay" so many times I could scream. Also, he should research some military terminology like the BAR rifle. It's BEE-A-AR, not "bar".
