 The Corps series June 18, 2008
I think W.E.B Griffin(his real name is William E. Butterworth)is the best current day writer. I highly recommend this and all of his other books. This book is number 5 of 10 in the Corps series
Line of Fire: Corps 5 April 9, 2008
So far, I have purchased through Amazon seven of the ten books in the W.E.B. Griffin series "The Corps". They are great and I intend to read his other series of books.
Good reading January 6, 2007
The books written by WEB Griffin are good reading and enjoyable. They have kept my interest and look forward to the next book everytime I end reading one. I spent several years in the Corps and come from a family of Marines so these book certainly keep my interest.
The Corps series continues October 4, 2005
I've read all the WEB Griffin novels several times. The Corps series is the best although the Argentina series (Honor Bound) is close. The best novel standing alone is the first one, Semper Fi. The next two or three are an obvious series and do not stand alone as well. They all provide insights that straight history may overlook. Griffin knows some of these people. He served in Korea so the later Korea series gains authenticity. Some object to the progression of Corporal McCoy to McCoy the super linguist. There is a touch of the comic book to some of his exploits but this is fiction. The story of the Inchon landing in Under Fire is true. The story told in Behind the Lines is true. I have a copy of Eric Feldt's book about the Coastwatchers. That was true. Griffin is the best source for military culture in fiction. His details are accurate. Maybe the Magic intercepts weren't quite as complete as he tells us they were but that was all based on truth and he brings it to life. If you are interested in World War II in the Pacific, these books are indispensible. The only thing that touches them is Once an Eagle.
A Marine never leaves anyone behind September 23, 2004
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This book is all about the Marine code of never leaving anyone behind. Fleming Pickering puts together a team to pull two of their men off a tropical island. They have been left there for quite some time in order to be part of the Coast Watchers that were placed throughout the South Pacific. Their purpose was to keep an eye on what the Japanese were doing in order to maintain the US position in Guadalcanal. The thing I really like about these books is the characters that Griffin has portrayed. I feel like I know each and every one of them. I like the history lesson about the war in the Pacific as well. I have to admit - I am hooked on this series.
