Summary: He is like a fine wine, he just gets better as he ages.
Review: I have read every one of his books, all the series, and have never been able to put them down.In Danger's Path is another piece of the Corps jigsaw. You just have to read them all and yet each book is a stand alone. BUY IT!

Summary: Outstanding even with inconsistencies
Review: I agree with those who complain that Mr. Griffin needs a new editor. I have found many inconsistencies in each of the series (and I have read them all). If the readers can keep track of all of these characters, the editors should be able to as well. It seems like the further we go into this series, the more time we spend with the "brass" and less with the officers and soldiers. I'd like to get back into the focus on McCoy, Banning, Pick, and the others who are out in the field. Nevertheless, I was first in line to pick up this book and will undoubtedly be first in line for the next one. I'm an Army brat and I know reading these books deepens my appreciation of the contributions my dad and his comrades have made to this country. Keep them coming, Mr. Griffin!

Summary: another good read from griffin
Review: I have followed The Corps Series from the beginning and I eagerly await each new book in the series. The problem is there is too much time in between books in the series. I think this leads to some of the discrepencies that occur throughout the story (Zimmerman's new lack of vocabulary and Picks sudden fall from grace not being detailed enough are examples of this). Pick was always a bit wild in the previous novels, but never sunk to the level of "disgrace to the uniform." I would have liked to see him redeemed in this book a bit more. This is a good story with suspense, intrigue and Griffin's fair protrayal of the strengths and weaknesses of the actual historical characters that have become his trademark in this series. I can't wait for the next volume.

Summary: Left waitng for the next Corps Novel
Review: As someone who has read every offering by this author, The Corps series is the most detailed and exciting. Each book leaves you waiting for the next in the series. It s my desire that War II never ends. This series is that thrilling. Starting in 1941 we are brought to 1943 in the lenghth of a chapter. This chapter explains the life of two characters that are referred to thoughout the series but haven't been personally involved since the first book. Even though this is the eighth in the series only 18 months have passed in the war and a little more than two years since we first met Cpl. McCoy. If this is the first W.E.B. Griffin novel you've read you'll want to read the rest. Had I not followed the entire series, my reaction at Banning's last appearance would have been different. As it was, I was moved to tears at the reunion of his family. You will not be disappointed.

Summary: Even at 549 pages, it was over too soon.
Review: The problem with Griffin's book are that they are over too soon, even at 549 pages. I will wait with baited breath to see what happens with this intrepid band in the future. McCoy, Zimmerman, Banning et al, have become my friends. I shall miss them until they visit once again.

Summary: Good, but not as good - a flawed effort
Review: There are only a handful of authors that get me to buy their hardbacks, and Griffin has always been one of them. But I walk away from this book unsatisfied. When did Zimmerman lose his command of English? He had it in previous books. Once again Ernie Sage doesn't remember that she met Banning and Jack Stecker when she and McCoy lived on that boat in San Diego. Also, there are too many characters in this latest book, and all of them get so little time that they seem like cardboard cutouts. Finally, please Mr. Griffin, remember the first rule of storytelling; SHOW me, don't tell me. Let me see what Pick does to cause his later grief, show me what happened with Greg Culhane, Weston and Martha. That talent for showing is what got me to care abou these characters to bgin with! Still, it was nice to get my "fix" for the year, and to see what happens next will probably push me down to the bookstore in eager anticipation next January, as well.

Summary: An excellent novel on a WWII secret operation.
Review: An excellent novel about the behind-the-scenes workings of a secret World War II operation. This is not a shoot-em-up, however. Instead the author delivers realistic characters, some are likable, some are not, and other's surprise you. Real historic figures like Pres. Roosevelt and Adm Nimitz interact with continuing characters from the "Corps Novel" series. It is not necessary, however, that you read any of the previous books. If you like WWII or secret operations, this is a must read book.
Rating:
Summary: A master of military fiction
Review: WEB Griffin weaves together history and action like few other writers. This is the latest installment and not to be missed. A couple of other writers who do the same thing you might not have heard of: Bob Mayer's Special Forces series; Joe Dalton's Omega Missile; Bob McGuire's THE LINE and THE GATE.
Rating:
Summary: Another winner
Review: If you're a fan of fact based fiction, read this author. He brings World War II to life for those too young to have experienced it in person. Start with the first and then read these books - read them all.

Summary: An excellent continuation of the series and great story!
Review: W.E.B. Griffin continues his excellence in story telling and moves to resolve some of the conflicts set-up in the previous eight books of the series. His literary talents and excellent ability to tell a gripping story, that leaves you wanting more, has not diminished. The movement of the "loose cannons" of USMC Intel. Special Ops. into the O.S.S. "Oh So Social." Takes you to Allied and Axis occupied China with intelligence, great dialog and sharp perception of the historical personages of this story. Buy it! You won't regret it or any other of his books. He continues to rarely disappoint.
