Fellow bestselling author Tom Clancy is right on target when he describes W.E.B. Griffin -- world renowned for his military and police novels filled with vivid detail and dead-on accuracy -- as "a storyteller in the grand tradition, probably the best man around for describing the military community."
O.S.S. Agent Dick Canidy returns on another desperate mission behind enemy lines.
The O.S.S. has dispatched Dick Canidyleading a team of operatives with questionable loyaltieson a mission to convince the Axis powers that the D-Day invasion will not take place on the beaches of Nazi-occupied France.
This is the second novel Griffin has cowritten with his son, but it retains all of the veteran author's trademarks: well-researched plot; realistic characters, real and fiction; and snappy dialogue. How Griffin manages to turn out so many novels without resorting to by-the-numbers plotting and cutout characters is a mystery, but as long as he keeps delivering the goods, his legions of fans will be content.
