Library Journal
Stephen Lang narrates this fourth installment of Griffin's "Men at War" series, which began with The Last Heroes. In this episode, the action concerns the extraction of an important German atomic scientist out of Hungary and the establishment of direct contact with the American guerrilla leader in the Philippines, (self-proclaimed) Brigadier-General Wendell Fertig. Griffin's ability to weave fictional and historical characters never ceases to amaze, and this novel is populated with the usual assortment of colorful and exciting Griffin stalwarts. Lang continues his credible narrative performance of "Soldier Spies" in this work; he is comfortable and confident reading the narrative and brings out the hardened characters of the cast. For all action/adventure collections.--Michael T. Fein, Central Virginia Community Coll., Lynchburg Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.

Griffin, who is a master of weaving fiction and history into a seamless narrative, succeeds again in this fourth episode of his Men at War series. Replete with Griffin's usual assortment of hard and colorful characters, this work, which takes place in 1942-43, depicts the escape of a German atomic scientist from Hungary, as well as the initial contact of the Army with American guerillas operating in the Philippines. Stephen Lang, who has performed a number of Griffin's works, has a versatile voice. He ably performs a variety of accents and reads the foreign words in the narration with skill. His crisp, clear voice does well in reading the various documents the author inserts to give context to the action. Even the music and sound effects do not distract from the production. M.T.F.
