WWII OSS suspenseful piece (#5) of a larger (7 book) set. This one's 21+ hours, so you gotta want it--it could easily be half this length an tell the same story. This one is OSS versus godless Nazis, who act like it. Our hero, Argentine born, Texan, is beginning to act badly, but becomes a true Argentine. There are too many characters, especially Nazis, to track in one brain, thus, an outline would be a good idea. One cannot follow the plot and the characters without reading the first four books in the series.
My first Griffin book. When I finished the book I realized it wasn't so much about the events, but the people in the story. Really good book.
Frade has come into his own. He's now married and a new father. He is also on the verge of some serious political battling after doing away with a big-wig Nazi and an Argentinian military man.
WW II OSS thriller set in Brazil & Argentina offers a cursory look at Nazi activity in South America. Griffin is, as usual, easy to read.
Excellent read. Always enjoy my favourite author.
