Completing the series, what started out as a lead-up to a big boom ended with a whimper. Even so, the pace is fast-moving and the integration of characters is excellent. Griffin (and Butterworth) establish strong characters with reasonable backgrounds. The interaction is excellent. ( )

Book 7 of the series is a 19+ hour book. You have to be into the Honor Bound series to continue listening to it. There was some goodly amount of repeating vignettes from previous stories, which detracted from this one and unnecessarily elongated it. All the old characters were there, including a few more, which also made following the story difficult. The exciting plot involved former OSS agent Frada and his new best buddy Nazi pilots smuggling "good" Germans into Argentina after WWII, whilst fighting "bad" Germans who haven't made up their minds that the 1000 year Reich is KAPUT! The ending was sudden, anticlimactic and felt like it just set up the next book...but wait! There is no other book. This is the last. ( )

World War 11 is over. Harry Truman is President. High ranking Nazi's have a plan to save National Socialism and themselves by being smuggled, in submarines, to Argentina, with large amounts of money, plundered from Jews as well as extorted from Jews, in America, to save their relatives in Europe. The German Intelligence Operation for Russia is turned over to the American's to save German lives from the Russians and uncovers Russian Spy's in the Manhattan Project. Historical fact interwoven with fiction provides a rich story full of suspense and intrigue. As usual WEB Griffin is a very enjoyable read. ( )

Thought it was pretty interesting in the beginning, but the dialog between characters was poorly written, and the plot felt contrived. The book sputtered to an end. ( )
