Book Summary Information

Book Reviews of Soldier Spies (Men at War)

Book Review: some Griffin goodness, but also disturbing flaws
Summary: 4 Stars

There's a reasonable amount of action, although it's somewhat disjointed, as if certain minor gaps in the story were a little too much trouble to fill. The large amount of material on the German characters gives an interesting look at life in the black of the SS-SD. We see some of the 'military/naval moments' that Griffin does so well.

On the other hand, we have the usual bodice-ripping sexual stuff, with the normal number of oversexed females practically ravishing males. At least in this book none of them seem to be virgins suddenly surrendering their 'pearl of great price', as Griffin usually describes the hymen. And, of course, we cannot get through a book without at least one character being unfaithful to a spouse.

Be advised also that this is a reprint of a book first published long ago, so its current state may not reflect the evolution of Griffin's style in the intervening time. If you are new to Men at War but not to Griffin, this may catch you a bit off guard.

Recommended provided you are accustomed to, or don't much mind, some of the weaknesses.
