Honor Bound #3
Secret Honor
The crackling new novel in the bestselling Honor Bound series, by the master of the military thriller. As with his other enormously popular series, the first two novels in W. E .B. Griffin’s saga of World War II espionage in Germany and Argentina – Honor Bound and Blood and Honor – became immediate bestsellers and were hailed as “immensely entertaining adventures” ( Kirkus Reviews ). Now, in Secret Honor , Griffin creates his most rousing novel yet. In Wolf’s Lair, a German general works toward the assassination of Adolf Hitler. In Buenos Aires, the general’s son, code-named Galahad, falls under suspicion by the SS after a Nazi operation suddenly goes bad. In the middle of it all is OSS agent Cletus Frade, who knows the identity of father and son and what they will do next…if they can survive that long. For not only are SS and Abwehr officers hot on their trails in both countries, but the OSS has branded Frade a rogue agent and is determined to shake the truth from him, at whatever cost. If Frade can’t figure a way to hold them all off, then the futures of all three men may be very short indeed…. Written with the special flair that Griffin’s readers expect, filled with high drama and real heroes, Secret Honor is further proof, in Tom Clancy’s words, that “Griffin is a storyteller in the grand tradition.”

The third volume in Griffin’s excellent series about spies operating in Argentina during World War II focuses more fully on the Nazi efforts in this regard. At the end of the last book, two high ranking Nazi officials were assassinated in Argentina. The main storyline of this novel is the Nazi effort to find out how the Argentines (or possibly, the Americans) discovered that the German officers would be where they were (they were on a secret mission) when they were killed. Quite naturally, among those who are under suspicion is Peter, the German fighter pilot (but secret anti-Nazi) who has become an important source of information (and friend) of the series’ primary hero, Clete. When Peter is called back to Germany to be questioned, there is serious reason to fear that he will be executed, either because they find evidence against him or need a scapegoat.
The second major storyline is Clete’s wedding which has to happen with unseemly speed because his fiancé is pregnant. Her father is furious with Clete (whom he didn’t like from the beginning and now hates because he took his daughter’s virginity) and doesn’t seem particularly mollified by the fact that Clete has inherited one of the largest fortunes in Argentina. For his part, Clete despises his father-in-law for keeping mistresses.
But the most interesting storyline involves Juan Peron, who is Clete’s godfather. The reader knows that Peron will eventually lead all of Argentina. He is a German sympathizer and he is attracted to very young girls. Clete despises him but absolutely everyone is encouraging him to become friends with him. His superior in the OSS actually gives Clete an order to befriend the man. Clete already knew the spy work was serious business, but he is beginning to learn that it involves every part of his life.
Clete makes what, in my opinion, is a very serious mistake in this novel when he tells his new bride all about his espionage work. Not only is he not keeping secrets, in doing so he is increasing the danger to his men, his missions, and to his bride. This is in stark contrast to his efforts to stop an agent sent by his OSS superiors to learn the identity of Clete’s most valuable contact. (In doing so, they prove that Clete is right to keep the man’s identity secret as they obviously are willing to expose his existence in their efforts to find out who he is.)
This is another strong novel with a surprise ending.

Another winner, though I'm back to reading them out of order, which is distressing when you're introduced to a character you like that you know is going to die horribly a couple of books later. This one features another glorious chewing out of the protagonist by his OSS superior. I have to think Griffin has been present for a number of these. This is another series that I finished only to find that there were entire books, three or four of them, earlier in the series that I hadn't read. As each is written to be a standalone if necessary there are long summarizing passages from earlier books in the series. They are very well done though, and don't much interfere with the flow. There's also a fair amount of interesting gossip. The picture of Eva Duarte Peron is perhaps not as worshipful as the musical,. and Col Peron had some habits that didn't make it into the history books. Griffin was able to move at the highest levels of Argentine society, and he heard all the stuff that didn't make the papers.

This was definitely an interesting read. I really liked the historical fiction side of it because the author does such a good job blending the fiction with events that really happened. There were definitely some moments that I didn't see happening in this book. A lot of the more sexual and romantic novel scenes were a little awkward, but weren't completely detrimental to the overall story.

finished 7th january 2025 good read three stars i liked it kindle library loaner honor bound #3 have read a number of this series none of them in order in fact i now have #1 open and ready to go. entertaining with many historical pieces included. fairly intricate plot with detailed scenes and multiple characters. reading this series one is provided an appreciation of a world at war for much of the story takes place thousands of miles away from the main battlefields of europe or the pacific islands. one could also come away with a sense that the story is instructive of how the various "classes" should act...the rich and wealthy main characters are accompanied by faithful servants willing to lay their lives on the line and since "honor" is a part of the title of each volume there is that as well. couple that with "the bavarian corporal" or "the austrian corporal" and this feeling of class is even more obvious. contrast "honor" with nazi actions in the war...the camps, their "final solution", the ransoming of imprisoned people so forth and so on with the pageantry of the servants serving the ruling class, the ruling class wining and dining and when push comes to shove justifying using a .45 auto to threaten another from that class with death an act that seemed a bit over the top. contrast that with the diplomacy of the nazis trying to determine who the traitor in their midst could be...no .45 auto pulled there. rather careful investigative procedure. and then be baffled by both the seeming intelligence and stupidity of the fdr administration in the conduct of war and diplomacy. good read. looking forward the #1 to see how this one got started.

There is a scene near the end of this generally entertaining book that seems out of character for an honor series. Our hero Cletus Frade, a former marine fighter pilot is in charge of the OSS team in Argentina. He has an agent inside the German embassy, a former Luftwaffe fighter pilot. Cletus refuses to identify this agent, code name “Galahad” to either Bill Donovan, head of OSS or to President Roosevelt. One of those two, we aren’t sure who, sent an Army air corps pilot to Buenos Aires with orders to determine the identity of Galahad. Cletus finds out about his mission and flies this officer to a remote airfield and threatens to kill him, then strands him there. This seems a bit out of place for a series about honor when a fellow officer is following orders. The author could have handled this scene in many different ways but chose this very dramatic demonstration of extreme bullying. I couldn’t buy it and it left a bad taste. Otherwise I like the setting, the characters and the kind of slow unraveling of the plot lines. There’s lots of meetings, lunches, conversations and once in awhile a dramatic event. A huge portion of this volume takes place in German where we get a look at some well known Nazis. Back in Argentina Juan Peron is a main character. He is Cletus’s godfather but also a Nazi sympathizer. But Cletus needs to keep him close as his is often useful. Eva Duarte also makes an appearance.

Boring
I found all the detail about everybody's title's all the time very boring and confusing and irritating.
When I ignored all of that, I got a bit lost as to which character was who, but the story was a good one. Everyone covering their own butts all the time and you can trust no one.
I won't be listening to another one of his books, as I am sure they are all written the same, it is a pity, because a lot of people love his books.
Scott Brick was exceptional as always, and if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have finished the book

I have liked Griffin's combination of military action, intrigue, and soap opera for quite a while. Unfortunately, this book largely skips the military action and the intrigue is more political than foreign. The soap opera elements are done well, with good character development, but they don't carry the narrative well for the length of this book.
I'll definitely continue the series, but this book is one of Griffin's weaker offerings.

Interesting plot based on WWII history in Argentina. A man's book with lots of machismo. I gotta keep reading the series to see what happens with the characters...even though this book was 19+ hours and the others are that long, too. In the middle of the book, the German fighter pilot is recalled to Germany and flies their new jet. One wonders about that "aside" in the plot...and others.

Good story line
Saga continues just down loaded the next in the series. Story line continues successfully from the previous book. Look forward to the next book

Interesting concept, but slow and boring for me.

As with, well, all of his books really, it feels like the plot is starting to drag at this point. 50-50 on whether he'll salvage it in the next few books as that always feels to be a crapshoot.

Excellent follow-up to the previous books in this series. Very suspenseful, believable how do you spellbinding. The characters remain captivating and you will really like this book!

Honor Found!
The dilemma of loyalty to a flawed government versus protecting family and friends from retribution by that same government is frightening and inspiring.

A fine follow-up to the first two episodes...
Lots of weddings, and parties at the estancias. Looking forward to the follow on. Things really start to get interesting.

W.E.B. Griffin's writing is generally good, though he seems to get a weird thrill of throwing in superfluous sex scenes every few chapters. This one ended it for me, though, when the author justifies an affair in order to preserve secrets when the context is clearly just about having another superfluous sex scene.

If you've read the first two of this series-- don't bother reading the first 120 pages or so of this one. All it does is recap the emotions, actions, and feelings of the first two books, and in a wordy, almost boring fashion.
The remainder of this review will be listed as pros and cons..
Pro: The author manages to employ a number of cool historical characters and goes to great lengths to distinguish between those of German descent and those who are true Nazis. The characters add depth and breadth to the story.
Con: The author seemed fixated on dragging Juan Peron through the mud repeatedly-- specifically (more than a dozen times) describing Peron as sexually involved with underage girls....
Pro: historical conditions are frequently thrown out to either remind or advise the reader that those conditions existed. (For example: references to homosexuals being put in camps with pink triangles.)
Con: Our hero, Clete, manages to share the big secret (the identity of code name: Galahad) with just about everyone, except his own superiors. Further-- the code name would have been pretty easy to figure out as it references Peter who happened to be the only character in the embassy who was the recepient of the knight's cross. So anybody hearing this code name would have a pretty darn good idea who it is anyway.
Con: Everyone seems to know Cletus is working for the OSS
Con: The story drags on as different people completely rehash the same information over and over again, with generally the same conclusions.
Pro: The author puts us in World War II and lets us see some of the attitudes of those in neutral countries and those in Germany.
Pro: The author spends a lot of time describing aircraft-- interesting stuff, especially the description of the Messerschmitt experimental jet.
Con: The author spends too much time dwelling on the planes, flying them, enjoying them...
Con: The author has one character who uses sexual control as an interrogation technique in a scene that really begins to get pretty raunchy. In fact, the author spends a great deal of time putting characters together in sexual situations-- some which advance the plot, some which just seem silly and contrived.
Pro: The drinking trick was really interesting... I appreciated the insight into how spies might get someone drunk without really being aware of it.

I am really getting hooked on this series. Having finally found and read the first volume in the seri\es, I went to the library and gathered up the next four and I am happily plowing through them when I should be working.
Major Freiherr (Baron) Hans-Peter von Wachstein is working very hard on keeping his skirts clean so that all the other Germans at the German Embassy won’t realize that he is the one that revealed to Cletus where the special shipment of valuables for funding Operation Phoenix was being brought ashore. Unfortunately, he has also been working at Alicia Carzino-Cormano’s skirts, and she tells him that she is pregnant, just before he gets yanked back to Berlin with a couple other suspects, where he gets to fly one of the new ME-262 jet planes that Gobbles hopes to use to clean all t\he American and British bombers out of Germany’s skies. Through some clever work on Cletus’s part, however, Peter gets sent back to Argentina in time to marry Alicia, all of which is leading up, finally, to Cletus’s wedding to Dorotea, who by now is about six months pregnant.
I am still bothered by all the German titles and the ridiculous long names used for everyone in the book, although Griffin seems to have backed off a bit on that, but I am really enjoying the story. Griffin’s characters are fairly three-dimensional, and the twists in the plot are continually interesting.

Jorge Frade Killed, Cletus Marries Donotea and the Nazi Witch Hunt. Following the disaster in Samboronbon Bay, the Nazis have Jorge Frade killed, followed soon by the unsuccessful assassin of Clete, who is warned off by Peter, thus cementing their friendship. After the attempt, Dorotea is pissed and attacks Clete, resulting in her losing virginity and getting pregnant. The Nazis shuffle embassy personnel and hatch a witch hunt that snares Peter, who destroys Alicia's viriginity and impregnation results. Peter is interrogated in Berlin and escapes scrutiny, at least by the Nazis. Juan Peron intervenes to have Peter returned to Argentina rather than stay in Germany and pilot Me-262 cutting edge jet fighters. Peter returns, marries Alicia and the stage is set.

i always enjoy W.E.B. Griffin's books because his characters are intereting and well fleshed out. He has written a lot of different series and one of my favorites is the Honor series about Cletus Frade and the OSS activities in Argentina and South America during WWII. I read this one, the third of the series, out of order, having already read the 4th 5th and 6th ones. Now that the 7th one is out i will go back and read one and two. I could easily see a movie or even TV series on these characters. It's always fun to read stories that involve spies and some historical fiction. In this one you get Donovan of the OSS and Juan Peron. In this book you are introduced to the infamous Eva Peron.

Very little action. A lot of positioning by all the players. Von Wachstein gets caught in the end which leaves one eager for the next book. The most exciting part was when Clete told Almond he would shoot him and then left him in Bariloche. Can't wait

This was my first Griffin book that I have read. Hopefully his other books are more interesting, because I have a stack of them to get through. I did not know this one was book 3 of the Honor Series. Maybe I would have got a little more out of if if I had read the 2 prior books. The first part of this book started off well, but then it just goes downhill into drawn out boring chapters with some good ones mixed in from time to time. I was going to give up on it half way through, but I hate giving up on a book!
October 5, 2011
As with the three others I've read in this series (I accidentally read the fifth one first, not realizing it was part of a series), I really liked the story and the history involved as I really don't know all that much about Argentina's history. I did NOT like all the sex and really tried to skip those parts when I could see them coming. I felt more suspense in this book than in the others as I worried through the book about the outcome for one of the heroes and it was a real cliffhanger.

I couldn't finish this, it was not my thing. The initial plot was not enough hook me in. Far too many relationships, positions, ranks + names of ships + people for my sleepy head to keep track of so I gave up! I read one other WEB Griffin book following this, it had a similarly heavy slant on names + ranks + locations, but I was interestest in learning a little about the Korean conflict. As the subject matter was more interesting I persevered.
