W.E.B. Griffin's iconoclastic OSS heroes face an historic challenge in the brand-new volume of the New York Times -bestselling series. Critics and fans alike welcomed the return of the "shrewd, sharp, rousing" ( Kirkus Reviews ) Men at War series- " The Saboteurs is good entertainment and the fast-paced and exciting novel Griffin's readers have come to expect. This is Griffin's 36th novel and his son's first; one wonders how prolific a force Griffin & Son will be!" ( Library Journal) Now, Dick Canidy and colleagues in the Office of Strategic Services face an even greater task-to convince Hitler and the Axis powers that the invasion of the European continent will take place anywhere but on the beaches of Nazi-occupied France. "Wild Bill" Donovan's men have several tactics in mind, but some of the people they must use are not the most reliable-are, in fact, most likely spying for both sides - so the deceptions require layer upon layer of intrigue, and all it will take is one slip to send the whole thing tumbling down like a house of cards. Are the OSS agents up to it? They certainly think so. And then the body is found floating off the coast of Spain. . . . Filled to the brim with action, character, and the deep understanding of the military heart and mind that have made Griffin's books so outstanding, The Double Agents is irresistible storyteller from a master of the craft.
WEB Griffin is an outstnding writer. His novels keep me turning the pages. I have yet to be disappointed. The trick is to make sure you read them in the proper sequence. Really good reading!

Fans of W.E.B.Griffin would welcome the story and action in Double Agents. It is typical of the author's ability to gain and hold the attention of the reader throughout the story. The plot is well thought out and is logical. While reading the book one can easily imagine the action which takes place througout. The theme of the story actually took place during World War II. It tells of one of the cleverest British intelligence operations which duped the Nazis into wrong preparations for an attack by the Allies.
A great read & a great gift.

It is wonderful that WEB Griffin is still adept at telling excellent stories, and throwing in a good bit of history on the side. The able assist from family member William Butterworth is seamless and doesn't take anything away from Mr. Griffin's mastery and passion for his subjects.
