Synopsis

From #1 New York Times bestselling author W. E. B. Griffin comes the dramatic third novel in the Clandestine Operations series about the Cold War, the fledgling Central Intelligence Agency—and a new breed of warrior.January 1946: Two WACs leave an officers’ club in Munich, and four Soviet NKGB agents kidnap them at knifepoint in the parking lot and shove them in the back of an ambulance. That is the agents’ first mistake, and their last. One of the WACs, a blond woman improbably named Claudette Colbert, works for the new Directorate of Central Intelligence, and three of the men end up dead and the fourth wounded.The “incident,” however, will send shock waves rippling up and down the line and have major repercussions not only for her, but for her boss, James Cronley, Chief DCI-Europe, and for everybody involved in their still-evolving enterprise. For, though the Germans may have been defeated, Cronley and his company are on the front lines of an entirely different kind of war now. The enemy has changed, the rules have changed—and the stakes have never been higher.

Goodreads review by Bonnie on July 28, 2018

This is not the best book by Mr. Griffin nor is it the best in this story. It is an interesting stories and the characters are interesting. What I really didn't like is the constant use of the name of Christ as an expletive. The F word appears occasionally, but not as often.......more

Goodreads review by Gilbert on August 26, 2024

When I went to write the review for this novel, I was surprised to see that I had reviewed it before and hated it. I had no memory of the story. And this time my experience was quite positive. I think the problem may have been that I read it the first time without having read the earlier books in th......more

A story made more complex then it should have been. Lots of characters to keep track of.......more

Goodreads review by Rick on March 25, 2025

This was good enough that I binged it on a travel weekend, but with many of the same comments I have written on books 1 & 2 in the series - the characters and settings, action and conflict seem only variations of the Charley Castillo series written by Griffith, and it feels like there are large gaps......more

Goodreads review by Bill on February 02, 2017

Of all the books he/they have written, this was the slowest. Not only did it have very little action compared to most of their other books, but it spent much too much time rehashing all of the history of previous books. While I'm sure the plan was to make this a standalone book, almost anyone who rea......more
