Publisher's summary

As Soldier Spies opens, it is November 1942. War is raging in Europe. The invasion of North Africa has begun. In Washington, OSS chief William J. Donovan finds himself fighting a rear-guard battle against an unexpected enemy: the rival intelligence chiefs back home. In Morocco, Second Lieutenant Eric Fulmar waits in the desert for a car containing two top-level defectors - or will it be full of SS men instead? In England, Major Richard Canidy gets the mission of his life: to penetrate into the heart of Germany and bring out the man with the secret of the jet engine, before the Germans grab hold of him first. The only hope? An experimental pilotless flying bomb. Or at least that's what a lieutenant named Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr., thinks.

Everywhere adventure crackles, fueled by the narrative realism, rich characters, and that special flair for the military heart and mind that have always made Griffin's novels so popular. The Soldier Spies is further proof that "Griffin rates among the best storytellers in any genre." (Phoenix Gazette)

Read now listened

Any additional comments?

I have read everything Griffin has published, now I have started to listen. What an amazing journey. Its like seeing an old friend and rehashing tales of the past. I loved the story when I first read the book but listening adds so much more. Scott Brick is one of the best.

Another good book by W.E.B. Griffin

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

A good continuing building of characters that gets you more into the book. It made the car drive fly by.

Any additional comments?

This book is another good book that takes place in war and the past. I can not say that I like his other series that take place more present day or police type books

Loved WEB Griffin for years

I remembered my first book by W.E.B. Griffin. I was captivated by the style and the use of History as the backbone of his books. I am committed to read all of his books about war and the people involved in fighting them. Wish me luck.

Great Author and story teller

W.E.B. Griffin is able to bring to life a story that makes you feel as those you are their looking over the shoulder like a ghost who sees everything. Each his series of books takes you lives from the past and of the present. He gives an insight of some the most important people from our military and Presidents.
