These books are like peanuts, you pick one up and you just can't stop. I got hooked on these back in the 80's and I am hard core adict to them! These series are well written, researched and the characters will reach out and grab you. So if you don't want to get addicted then go no further. From AudioFile Griffin's novels about the Marine Corps are known to his readers as absorbing recreations of times of battle. He has an instinct for authenticity, both in situation and in dialogue. Hill's breakneck delivery contrasts with the snail's pace that so often characterizes war activity. In this case, bickering between MacArthur and the OSS almost scuttles a mission in Mindanao during WWII. Switching expertly from the documentary style Griffin uses in the narrative to individual characterizations, Hill manages to keep potential confusion at bay. S.B.S. (Dick Hill also reads Brilliance's unabridged edition of this title.) (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine Book Description Philippines, 1942. A renegade Army officer and a corps of Marines fight their way through the heart of enemy Japanese territory. |
