Sounds like a cross between The Guns of Navarone and Apocalypse Now. The New Breed W. B Griffin EDITORIAL REVIEW: Old and new faces find themselves swept into a maelstrom of danger when the United States becomes deeply involved in the Congo Rebellion. The Investigators W. B Griffin From Library JournalBook 7 of Griffin's "Badge of Honor" series continues the saga of the Philadelphia Police Department, focusing once again on the Special Operations unit. Detective Matt Payne is sent to Harrisburg to gather evidence against a narcotics unit that is suspected of stealing from the very people whom they have arrested. Payne is also working with the FBI in its attempt to locate several terrorists who, in , blew up a scientific laboratory, killing 11 people.
While walking in the footsteps of law-enforcement officers, Griffin gives a clear picture of what it is like to be a police officer, how police officers think, how politicians bring pressure to bear on their actions, and how the justice system works. Everything Griffin writes immediately goes on the best sellers lists, mainly because he tells such richly detailed stories using a huge, engaging cast of characters who by this time will have become old friends to many readers? and this book is no exception.? Jo Ann Vicarel, Cleveland Heights-University Heights P. From Kirkus ReviewsThe latest installment--and first hardcover--in the prodigious Griffin's Badge of Honor series on detectives in the Philadelphia police force. As in his several successful series on soldiers including The Last Heroes, Vol. I of Men in War, , and Line of Fire, Book V of The Corps, , Griffin is particularly deft at catching the hierarchies of all-male societies, and the ways in which men school themselves for action.
His protagonist here, Special Operations detective Matt Payne, shares with Griffin's other heroes an appetite for testing himself, a knack for getting into very dangerous situations, and a willingness to meet violence with violence. In this case, Payne is up against both a group of corrupt and lethal cops and a cabal of urban terrorists. Don't expect George V. Higgins, or even Christopher Newman here--while Griffin endows his Philadelphia setting with a terse authenticity, and his characters are distinct, if not remarkable, you won't find realistic chat, deep plumbings of character, or a detailed portrait of police politics.
What you will find is a shrewdly paced plot, sharp, vivid action, and a rather mordant view of human nature. Not deep, but lively. All rights reserved. The Aviators W. B Griffin EDITORIAL REVIEW: As the Vietnam War begins to escalate in , the formation of the new Air Assault Division is delayed by logistical problems and by conflicts among the men and women who comprise the fighting force. Under Fire W. B Griffin Amazon. com ReviewHaving wrapped up World War II with 's In Danger's Path, bestselling military author W. Griffin now deploys his Marines in Korea with Under Fire, the ninth volume in his Corps series. Back are familiar characters from Griffin's previous Corps books--daredevil pilot Pick Pickering, his Scotch-sipping father, Brigadier General Fleming Pickering, Capt. Ken "Killer" McCoy, and Master Gunner Ernie Zimmerman--with historical figures including President Harry Truman and General Douglas MacArthur making appearances as well. It's now , and with Communist forces making their presence felt below the 38th Parallel, Griffin's plot centers on Gen.
Pickering, now high up in the newly created CIA, and Ken McCoy as they work behind MacArthur's back to covertly pave the way for an invasion of North Korea. Readers who crave nonstop battle action and excitement may find it hard to stick with Under Fire, as Griffin takes the time to detail the background leading up to one of America's least-remembered modern wars. Griffin writes for the true armed forces aficionado, filling his prose with realistic descriptions of procedure, gear, and materials, an alphabet's worth of acronyms, and an ex- soldier's ear for military dialogue. Look for more sharp, authentic writing in this series' next installment. Within a few weeks, the old team is back together, most under the steady command of Brig. Fleming Pickering, whom President Truman recalls from the helm of Trans Global Airways to assume the CIA's top Asian post.
As the U. Army flounders to contain the North, Pickering struggles to restore Washington's faith in Comdr. Douglas MacArthur and his daring proposal to invade at Inchon. Meanwhile, as Capt. Ken McCoy and Master Gunner Ernie Zimmerman skulk behind enemy lines, seizing a crucial island in preparation for the invasion, a new calamity breaks out: Pickering's son, daredevil pilot Malcolm "Pick" , gets shot down over a North Korean rice paddy. This new entry in the series moves more slowly than previous ones, as Griffin who served in the army in Korea sets up the historical elements of the conflict and positions all his characters. But once he gets going, he writes with even assurance and a keen eye for military camaraderie and nuance, offering galvanizing drama and a respectful yet irreverent treatment of military procedure and attitudes, not to mention plenty of Scotch.
As the book ends with U. forces digging in for battle and Pick still missing the dean of the American war adventure has left himself room for plenty of action ahead.

Author » W. B Griffin. B GRIFFIN SERIES: Badge of Honor Brotherhood of War Honor Bound The Presidential Agent. Behind the Lines W. B Griffin W. B Griffin From Publishers WeeklyGriffin's seventh novel in The Corps series after Close Combat continues the author's breezy look at the Marine Corps during WWII. Here, he uses guerrilla action behind the lines in the Philippines as foreground to tell the behind-the-lines tale of the power struggle among Marine General Fleming Pickering, General Douglas MacArthur and Bill Donovan of the fledgling OSS, all of whom are galvanized into action by a radio message from a self-proclaimed general named Wendell Fertig, who has established himself as a guerrilla leader against the Japanese.
As far as the Marines are concerned, once the message is verified, a team of men with supplies will be sent in to evacuate any sick or wounded and evaluate Fertig as a potential leader. Complicating matters, however, are MacArthur's public declaration that guerrilla activity on the Philippines is impossible, and therefore nonexistent, and Bill Donovan's desire to get the operation under OSS control. Focusing on a variety of characters involved in the proposed mission, Griffin tells an absorbing story with his usual attention to dialogue rather than description, relying frequently on his favored device of moving the plot along through copies of memos, radio messages and telegrams.
The boy's club aura of Griffin's primarily male world, where everything? even death? seems clear, sunny, bright and uncomplicated, is in full force here; and that should please his fans just fine.

B Griffin A Philadelphia narcotics cop is shot dead in his home. A bar owner's wife and partner are gunned down during an attempted robbery. And in a beautiful mansion, a young woman dies of a heroin overdose. At first the crimes seem unconnected. But these four deaths are about to trigger a massive convergence of corruption, cops, and the mob that could tear the Philadelphia Police Department apart from the inside out. All the way to the top Black Ops Presidential Agent W.
Griffin always hits the target-right at the top of the bestseller lists Griffin's explosive Presidential Agent novels have gained worldwide acclaim for "leaving satisfied thriller readers hankering for more. The Soldier Spies W. B Griffin From Publishers WeeklyThe third installment and first hardcover printing of Griffin's series of WWII espionage novels originally published under the pseudonym Alex Baldwin once again conjures up the year , an era when men were boys and women were, well large breasted. Between bed hopping and libidinous musings, intrepid secret agents Major Richard Caniday who's really not a major and Eric Fulmar, members of the fledging OSS, aim to smuggle out of Germany the scientist whose knowledge of metallurgy holds the key to the Third Reich's development of jet engines.
The professor has a lovely daughter, of course, who is being sexually used by the sleazy Nazis; she is also used by double agents in the German high command as a tool to help undermine Hitler's mad schemes. Other plot lines explore Fulmar's mission in Morocco and the Allies' attempt to develop a "flying bomb" of their own. Cameos by such historical figures as William "Wild Bill" Donovan, Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. Anachronisms in speech further mar the story, but after one gets past the multiple PGrated sex scenes and hackneyed plot, there are suspenseful scenes of subterfuge and derring-do.
Unfortunately for those who didn't read the previous volumes and who may miss the next, this book stops rather than concludes, leaving many painstakingly embroidered subplots unresolved. From Library JournalOriginally published as paperbacks under the name Alex Baldwin, Griffin's "Men at War" series is now being released in hardcover. In this installment, World War II has hit North Africa, and Lt. Joe Kennedy Jr. has some ideas about pilotless bombs. The Traffickers W. B Griffin Griffin's popular Badge of Honor police series returns, with a story of murder and lawlessness as compelling as today's headlines. J ust as with his remarkable military novels, millions of readers have been captured by the rich characters and vivid realism of W.
Griffin's police dramas. Before you know it, you've gobbled it up. A gangland shooting in a popular tourist location has left six dead, most of them innocent bystanders, and days later the body of a headless Latina turns up in the Schuykill River. Everybody assumes they're not related, but Payne can't shake the hunch that there's something more to it—and that hunch leads him far from the City of Brotherly Love to the Texas—Mexico border.
