Synopsis

October 1945: The Germans and Japanese have surrendered. For Cletus Frade and his colleagues in the OSS, it should be time to pack up—but they have far more important things to do.Chief among them is the protection of their assets, especially the human ones. In the closing months of the war, the United States made a secret deal with the head of German intelligence’s Soviet section. In exchange for a treasure trove of intelligence—in particular the identity of the Soviet spies in the U.S. atomic bomb program—his people would be spirited to safety in Argentina. Only a handful of people know about it. If word got out, all hell would break loose, and the U.S. would lose some of its most valuable sources and secrets.Meanwhile, in Argentina, a U-boat captain pops up out of the blue and surrenders his submarine and crew. And in the American Zone of Occupation in Germany, a young counterintelligence agent pursues an unusual assignment perhaps a little too vigorously. The consequences of both actions will affect not only Frade and company, but everything they’re working on.Now things are really going to get complicated.Filled with the special flair that Griffin’s fans have come to expect from him, Empire and Honor is another rousing adventure from one of our finest storytellers.

Goodreads review by Jim on October 29, 2019

This is kind of the end of the Honor Bound series. But it is the start of the CIA in Europe series in that it introduces 2LT James D. Cronley, jr. and sets that series up.

This book is set at the end of WW2, when the allies were trying to clean up and capture all the Nazis and their equipment. Submarines containing riches, equipment, and art were sent out to help powerful Nazi leaders escape and set up for a "phoenix" rebirth of the reich, primarily to Argentina. This......more

Goodreads review by Brett on May 03, 2013

This is really much better then the reviews. I suspect the others that rated this book poorly did not read the preliminary books in order. Otherwise I can see that you might be missing a lot and did not get the character development. Overall the story is pretty good and some nice dialogue.......more
