Summary: a return to classic Griffin military/intel writing
Comment: After some lackluster recent efforts, Griffin reminds us why he's considered one of the most capable military fiction authors out there.
Excitement level is good; as is often the case, Griffin takes us to a new region (Yugoslavia/Hungary) and shows good area and language knowledge. He leaves the future and survival of one of the main characters of the series in real doubt throughout most of the book. The recent tendency of Griffin to be over-reliant on sex and infidelity as themes is absent. Either the original version (of which this is a republishing) lacked those themes, or it was rewritten. Either way, the romantic stuff doesn't detract from the storytelling, which is classic Griffin.
As a bonus, we see some of the less-emphasized characters of the series gain development and fullness. The afterword, which I will not spoil for you except to say that it refers to Griffin's real world acquaintance with historical figures, is revealing and interesting.
If you've read the first three, this is a strong continuation. If you have not, the whole series is worth your time and money.

Summary: Cliffhanger time
Comment: This is the fourth and final book in the series originally published under the nom de plume, Alex Baldwin. Griffin does his usual excellent job of writing a compelling piece of fiction in a setting of historical events. Bitter, Canidy, Whittaker, Fulmar and company continue their exploits, now in the middle of WW II. The question is, now that the publisher has run out of books to reprint, will Mr. Griffin give us something new in the series -- I've been waiting since 1986 to see this series continue.

Summary: The Fighting Agents - A Great W.E.B. Griffin Starter Series
Comment: For those who have not tried W.E.B. Griffin because they don't wish to commit to reading 9 volumes in The Corps or Brotherhood of War series, I highly recommend trying this 4-book series (#1 Last Heroes, #2 Secret Warriors, #3 Soldier Spies, and #4 Fighting Agents). While I would love to see future installments of the Men at War Series, I thought that Griffin does a very good job of "wrapping up" with The Fighting Agents. I enjoyed it the most out of the 4 in this particular series because I felt that it was more operational and thus contained more action and suspense.
