Summary: World War II Intrigue at its finest
Comment: The third in the Honor Bound series from W.E.B. Griffin, Secret Honor continues the intrigue and intricate sub-plots set in Nazi Germany and neutral Argentina. This novel is interesting from many angles. First as always with Griffin, the WWII military context is rich, insightful, and authoritative. The inside look at the Nazi war machine, its affect on the German officers corps, and their unfolding awareness of the Nazi atrocities makes the book a worthwhile read by itself. But there is much more. The South American setting, with all the complexities of Argentine neutrality, and the culture and politics of Argentina in the 1940's vis-a-vis the Germans and Americans, is a fascinating and unusual angle on WWII. Finally, the characters - Cletus Frade, his new bride Dorotea, the OSS officers, the young Nazi pilot Wachstein, and the mysterious Coronel Peron - are rich, fully developed, and unforgettable.
After reading this book I find myself thinking about the characters, and wondering when the fourth in this series will be forthcoming.
This is a great book, and a great historical novel. Read this book and read this series! You will thoroughly enjoy it!

Summary: Secret Honor, few Secrets
Comment: Posted reader-reviews by Kelley and Anthony, fellow West-Coasters are essentially accurate judgments. I rate it 2 stars rather than 3 because it's so much less intriguing than any previous Griffin (Butterworth) novels, in this series, The Corps, or possibly anything but the Philly PD books. As for historical inaccuracies, I right away picked up on the "Army Air Corps," but that's almost obscure; many people don't realize Hap Arnold changed the name to US Army Air Forces in mid-1941. Many other "errors" seem to be continuity or proofreading errors, getting times wrong, as with the invitation to see Peron at 7:30PM but arriving before 6. Not as good as the first two in the Honor series, we still need to read this, I just wish it had been incorporated with #4, so we didn't have to pay to read about a couple of months in the life of Clete Frade.
Rating: 5
Summary: READING CON BRIO
Comment: Griffin proved himself to be a champion of military suspense with "Honor Bound" and "Blood and Honor." Brace yourselves for a roller coaster of thrills because he's done it again.
In "Secret Honor," a German general plots the assassination of Adolf Hitler. At the same time in Buenos Aires the general's son is targeted by the SS following a botched Nazi operation. OSS agent Cletus Frade knows them both and he knows the truth. But, Frade is branded a rogue agent by the OSS. All three men are in peril.
As always, Tony Award nominee Lang reads with brio. His stellar performance is the perfect showcase for this astoundingly well crafted story.
