Secret Honor

Honor Bound 3

De: W. E. B. Griffin

Narrado por: Scott Brick

A crackling new novel in the best-selling Honor Bound series, by the master of the military thriller.

As with his three enormously popular series - Brotherhood of War, The Corps, and Badge of Honor - Honor Bound and Blood and Honor, W. E. B. Griffin's novels of World War II espionage in Germany and Argentina, became immediate best sellers. These are "immensely entertaining adventures" (Kirkus Reviews), "superior war stories" (Library Journal) "whose twists and turns keep readers guessing until the last page" (Publishers Weekly). Now, in Secret Honor, Griffin creates his most rousing novel yet.

In Wolf's Lair, a German general works toward the assassination of Adolf Hitler. In Buenos Aires, the general's son, codenamed Galahad, falls under suspicion by the SS after a Nazi operation suddenly goes bad. In the middle of it all is OSS agent Cletus Frade, who knows the identity of them both and what they will do next if they can survive that long. For not only are SS and Abwehr officers hot on their trails in both countries, but the OSS has branded Frade a rogue agent and is determined to shake the truth from him at whatever cost. If Frade can't figure out a way to hold them all off, then the futures of all three men may be very short indeed.

Written with all the special flair that Griffin's readers expect, filled with high drama and real heroes, Secret Honor is further proof, in Tom Clancy's words, that "Griffin is a storyteller in the grand tradition."

Another great book

I believe the Honor series is the best of Griffin’s books. The history of Argentina is seldom known; these books make it understandable and enjoyable. A GREAT read.

love this series

some of the voices sounded too similar for the characters. this made it confusing to figure out based on voice.

Enjoying the series.

Excellent narration and although some pronunciations differed from book 1 and 2 it was far and above better than the book 2 narrator whom I feverishly hope went back to waiting tables.

A good listen

The narrator is much easier to listen to than Book 1 or 2. Griffin has a tendency to recap earlier developments sometimes to excess. The story moves along nicely

Memorable!

Loved it! I couldn't stop listening. It was like the characters were real and I wanted to meet them.

Good story read well.

The story flows well. The reader does a good job. Looking for to the next book.

Good Story

What a relief that the narration didnt have the phony accents from previous narration in this series.

Great story line that continues to be plausible and entertaining.

Another smashing book

I read the reviews of this book and thought long and hard before I bought it. Most reviews trashed this title. After listening to Secret Honor I can't imagine why. Most said just rehash of the 2nd book. I didn't think so. I thought it was a continuation of the story line. I will give you this Scott Brick is 1000 times better narrator than the narrator for the 2nd book in the series. Scott makes this book come alive. My wife doesn't much care for audio books but she was listening to this title on a recent car trip with me. I was almost finished with less than an hour left. When it was finished she said "Oh no" he didn't finish the story line. To me that was one of the greatest things she could have said. I love cliff hangers and W.E.B. Griffin is a master of story lines and cliff hangers. A lot of great authors carry their characters from one book to the next and a lot of times refer back to previous titles. Griffin continues the story line from one book to another. To me that is what makes Griffin one of my favorite authors.

critique

Dick Hill, who narrated the 1st HB book, did a much better job than Scott Brick, who basically read aloud.

Much better

Enjoyed this book. The narrator was excellent. Story was great. A good series. Try it!
