Synopsis

The third volume of W. E. B. Griffin's electrifying, bestselling saga of the OSS during World War II.

As The Soldier Spies opens, it is November 1942. War is raging in Europe. The invasion of North Africa has begun. In Washington, OSS chief William J. Donovan finds himself fighting a rear-guard battle against an unexpected enemy: the rival intelligence chiefs back home. In Morocco, Second Lieutenant Eric Fulmar waits in the desert for a car containing two top-level defectors--or will it be full of SS men instead? In England, Major Richard Canidy gets the mission of his life: to penetrate into the heart of Germany and bring out the man with the secret of the jet engine, before the Germans grab hold of him first. The only hope? An experimental pilotless flying bomb. Or at least that's what a lieutenant named Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr., thinks. Griffin's fans did indeed cheer the rediscovery of his Men at War series, his epic of espionage and battle originally published under the pen name Alex Baldwin and never before available in hardcover. Said Kirkus Reviews, "This is shrewd, sharp, rousing entertainment."

Everywhere adventure crackles, fueled by the narrative realism, rich characters, and that special flair for the military heart and mind that have always made Griffin's novels so popular. The Soldier Spies is further proof that "Griffin rates among the best storytellers in any genre" (Phoenix Gazette).

"Griffin is a master of the game and a wonderful storyteller. Men at War brims with action and adventure that his legions of fans will savor."-- Charleston Post & Courier

Winter, 1942. Two Americans in the just-born Office of Strategic Services take on their most important assignment during World War II. Running a spy pipeline into Germany is "Major" Richard Canidy; going in is Second Lieutenant Eric Fulmar -- friends as well as comrades-in-arms. Their mission is so covert that even they aren't aware of its ultimate goal: to extract -- or eliminate -- those Germans with the expertise to develop the atomic bomb...
