    About this audiobook

    If coincidence had thrown these men together in any normal military organization, and if, improbably, they had become buddies there, any commanding officer with enough sense would have broken up the gang as threats to "good military order and discipline."
    But they weren't in any normal military organization.
    They were in the Office of Strategic Services.

    The Battle of the Atlantic is at its peak. Packs of German U-boats are hunting and sinking U.S. supply ships. Ships are burning at their moorings in U.S. ports, and a series of explosions has afflicted trains and train stations around the country-is it all accidental or is it sabotage? Meanwhile, Allied forces are secretly preparing to invade first Sicily and then Italy, and there is a lot of work that needs to be done beforehand, some with the most unlikely of helping hands. As the war heats up, "Wild Bill" Donovan's agents-Dick Canidy, Eric Fulmar, Stan Fine, and the rest of the crew, answerable only to Donovan and the president-suddenly find themselves battling on two fronts at once...and fate is just about to deal them a few surprises.

      Let me start by saying that upon examining the copyright found in the book, the copyright was entirely attributed to the younger Butterworth, not the same man who wrote the first four novels of this series, I believe in the 1980s.That said, this book was one of the worst examples of literary coherency I've ever read for any reason except taking a class. The villains are incompetent to the point of almost nonexistent, while the heroes are inept and ineffective at anything but providing a camera from which to show you a bunch of men fighting a world war. And by fighting a world war, I mean sitting around drinking coffee and alcohol while discussing largely random and irrelevant things. At the end, there was almost, kind of, sort of, a point, but the author missed. Sorry.

      W.E.B. Griffin is one of my favorite military history novelists. In this work, his co-author is William Butterworth IV.Although most of Griffin's best work is behind him, I did enjoy this novel.Germany has unleashed two two-men teams on America in order to disrupt American life. They blow up railroad terminals and electrical power stations but also can select other targets.The OSS is still a new agency under Wild Bill Donovan. They are fresh off a success in helping an important scientist escape from German rule.I enjoyed the cavalier attitude of many of the young OSS officers and their attitude toward old fashioned ideas. Even though, these officers were willing to risk their lives for America. I also found interesting the work OSS did with the Mafia in order to gain connections toward actions in Sicily.

      This book feels like the author ran out of time, and slapped a 5 page ending on an incomplete unedited manuscript. An action/adventure story with no climax. Like many of his recent books, the elements of the Griffin formula are present, but done without the style or skill of his earlier works. Most of Griffin's series books can stand on their own. This one can barely stand as part of the series.
