A crackling new novel from the author of the bestselling Corps series.
From the Brotherhood of War novels to the saga of The Corps, W. E. B.
Griffin's rich characters and special flair for the military heart and
mind have made him one of America's most popular novelists. It is fall
1942. First Lieutenant Cletus Frade, a Spanish-speaking Marine aviator
ace fresh from Guadalcanal, is suddenly called to a meeting with a
Colonel Graham. Shortly thereafter, so too are Army demolitions expert
and parachutist Second Lieutenant Anthony Pelosi, and Army Staff
Sergeant and multilingual Counterintelligence Corps special agent David
Ettinger, a communications expert who has already escaped from German
hands in Europe. The three are about to become a team, but in an
operation unlike any they have ever known before. For the mysterious
Colonel Graham is in the OSS, their new mission is to sabotage by any
means necessary the resupply of German ships and submarines, and their
destination is not just anywhere, but Buenos Aires. In 1942, supposedly
neutral Buenos Aires puts Casablanca and Lisbon to shame - a lethal
mixture of German and American agents, Axis and Allied sympathizers, and
ruthless internal security officers. If the three soldiers are to
succeed in such a place, they will have to be not only very good - but
very lucky. Written with all the energy and expertise that have driven
Griffin's previous novels, filled with crackling realism, drama, and
real heroes, Honor Bound is a captivating novel of valor and adventure,
sure to please old fans and new.
