Griffin fans have waited years for the return of his rousing stories of the OSS, and now, at last, aided and abetted by his son, William E. Butterworth IV, Griffin has brought back his iconoclastic heroes in a brand-new adventure.
The year is 1943, and Argentina is officially neutral, but crawling with every kind of spy, sympathizer, and military official imaginable. The hero is Cletus Frade, a Marine pilot recruited by the OSS, with strong family ties to Argentina, and in Death and Honor - Griffin's fourth book in the series and the first since 1999 - he's got a lot on his hands.
In the long-awaited ninth book in the Corps series, Griffin leaves WWII behind and thrusts his readers deep into the heart of the Korean War; June 1, 1950: Captain Ken McCoy's report on probable North Korean hostilities meets with so much bureaucratic displeasure that not only is it promptly suppressed, but McCoy himself is kicked out of the Corps.
A supposed MIA Philippine general has turned up as a guerilla leader, harassing the Japanese. Marine Lieutenant Ken McCoy's mission is to sneak behind the lines and find out if the general is for real. He and his men are tested to the limit.
No one captures the drama of war as brilliantly as bestselling author W.E.B. Griffin. The Corps is his multi-volume portrait of the Marine Corps, the brave men and women who fought, loved and died in the sweeping turmoil of WW II. COUNTERATTACK, the third book in the series, highlights America's first bold counterstrike against the Japanese: Guadalcanal. Bitterly resisted by Japanese troops, the U.S. Marines fought a close, bloody and gruelling battle to its successful conclusion.
