Griffin's millions of fans cheered the rediscovery of THE LAST HEROES, the first volume of Men at War, his saga of the OSS during World War II. It is 1942 when THE SECRET WARRIORS begins. In Washington, D.C., the OSS, under FDR and "Wild Bill" Donovan, escalates its tactical war, and plunges into worldwide covert operations. In London, a difficult and exiled de Gaulle disrupts invasion plans, and it is up to the OSS to force the General's hand. In the Belgian Congo, a desperate air maneuver drops OSS agents into Africa, with the aim of smuggling out uranium ore essential to the arms race. And in Morocco, OSS men plan a rendezvous with anti-Nazi Germans in an attempt to obtain critical weapons secrets.
"THE SECRET WARRIORS is further proof that Griffin rates among the best storytellers in any genre." (Phoenix Gazette)

It is 1942; America has just joined WWII, and the OSS is in its infancy, recruiting spies. Griffin's tale of intrigue, deception and secret agents ranges from the Belgian Congo to Morocco to Washington, DC. Herrmann keeps the action hopping from mission to mission. He has his hands and voice full keeping the personalities of the rich and macho characters separate while pushing the story forward. With the "real" action at the very end, this abridgment will test Griffin fans' enthusiasm to stay with the tale until its conclusion. M.B.K. (c) AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine
