Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An outstanding WWII story set in Argentina.
Review: Cletus Frade is my newest hero! This book, set mostly in Argentina, is capitivating from page 1. If you liked the Brotherhood of War series, you'll love this one. Mr. Griffin, leave the police and Marines alone for a while and give more of Cletus Frade. This is a series that has to be written, because we are waiting to read it

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Character Building into a Magnificent Nove
Review: Griffith is well known for his military books that have real characters doing unreal things that make the entire novel a real story of unreal quality. Ok just a confusing enough sentence to make you read more. Griffith is such a writer that his characters are what carries the story; meaning the reader wants to know how the characters are going to develop in the situations. Cletus Frade is akin to another of WEB's great characters...Craig Lowell.

Perhaps one of my favorite authors with books that allow for countless rereads.

Summary: When arrives the next novel?
Review: Honour bound is a great novel. I was only familiar with the Brotherhood of Arms series, so I was suprised when I saw this book in the bookstore. Cletus Frade and his friends had to stop the Germans in Argentina for the second time (I later discovered that there was a another book). Cletus also had the trouble of a pregnant girlfriend and a deceased father. He became the owner of his father's possesions. What happens to the money stolen from the Jews? Will Cletus be ordered to gain acces to this money? And what about Dorethea? I'm desperately waiting for the next book. Please write your books faster!

Summary: Outstanding plot and captivating historical accuracy!
Review: I never though I would find another author that captivated me the way Tom Clancy did, but WEB Griffin has done it. Honor Bound is a great historical fiction that mixes the most interesting historical accuracy of the 1941 spy game with an intense and honest story line. It is not a fanciful spy novel like so many others, but a realistic look at the US spy business in its hatchling years. It fulfills the need for intensity of details and still maintains an edge of the seat plot. In short, very well done and impressive.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Bound with Honor
Review: Shipped home from the Pacific, Cletus Frade learns that he will be sent to Argentina to aid in the war effort against the Nazis. He and two other Americans are sent to Argentina to sink a Nazi ship refueling and rearming German U-boats. In Argentina Cletus meets his long lost father, a very important man in Argentina and tries to sway him toward the United States. During the course of his mission Frade comes upon many problems, falls in love and builds a strong relationship with his father.
I recommend this book very highly. This book never had a dull moment. This is the second book of W.E.B. Griffin that I have read and I enjoyed both of them. This book takes place during World War Two and contains a lot of real to the time's technology and information. Griffin obviously spent a great deal of time researching before he wrote this book. It pays off. The quality of the story is greatly enhanced by the use of factual information. Of the many books in this genre that I have read this is one of the better ones. The story line drives along at a steady action packed pace. Though this book is projected more towards the middle-aged male demographic, I think that anyone who enjoys espionage, romance, anyone interested in World War Two or anyone who enjoys fiction would greatly enjoy reading this book. This is a great book and I recommend it to anyone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Honor Bound is Powerful!!!
Review: The book set in WWII Argentina sets up a marvelous contrast between friends and enemies, trust and deceipt, and loyalty and treason. While recounting some of the actual events and occurences during the war era, it also involves an entrapping story line of a Marine war hero who must choose for duty and honor, or his friends, family, and his true feelings. Can he have his cake and eat it too? I could not put this book down. I felt myself wanting to be there and participate. The book paints vivid mental pictures playing itself like a movie. It is a must read!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Magnificent, Captivating, Rich, and Wonderful! SCORE: (A+)
Review: The book set in WWII Argentina, "Honor Bound" is a great historical fiction of the WWII espionage game, coupled with an intense and dynamic story line. Cletus Frade, is a magnificent hero who has intensity, likeability, and charm. The secondary characters are richly developed and are as interesting in many cases as the hero. This story wraps you up in the characters, make you care about them, and takes you on a wonderful journey that ends way too soon, thankfully there are two more books in the series.
This is the best W.E.B. Griffin book yet in my opinion, and one of the most enjoyable books that I have ever had the pleasure of reading!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An excellent adventure
Review: This was another great novel by W.E.B. Griffin. I loved the way he developed the relationship between Cletus Frade and his father. Also, as with most of Griffin's novels, I found this one to be a good way to learn about little known historical facts about World War II.
