Griffin continues to be the best. Character and story development is great. Griffin, in all of his Brotherhood of War books, has few peers.

There are two kinds of book series: Ones that can more or less be read in any order (James Bond comes to mind), and ones that work better when read in order of internal chronology. Griffin's "The Brotherhood of War" is the second kind of series, and it's virtually impossible (and certainly unfair) to review one of its "middle" books *except* as part of the larger series. _The Majors_ doesn't match the standard set in _The Lieutenants_ and _The Captains_, but it's a workmanlike entry that keeps the series moving.
"Brotherhood of War" is, as another reviewer said of a different volume in the series, a "military soap opera." It's concerned, for the most part, not with battles but with the rhythms of Army lives and careers: changes of post, changes of assignment, promotions, decorations, unexpected reunions with old comrades, and so on. The series has, by now, upwards of three dozen significant continuing characters . . . six or eight of whom qualify as major (in significance, not rank). That's a lot of fictional lives to keep straight and a lot of storylines to keep in motion, but Griffin pulls it off with considerable skill. _The Majors_ keeps you abreast of all the main players from the earlier books, and adds several new ones. Its a fast, satisfying read, and left me eager to pick up _The Colonels_.
That said, _The Majors_ is a step down from _The Lieutenants_ and _The Captains_. There're a few gunfights, but no big combat scene like the mountain battle in Greece (Bk. 1) or the commando raid into North Korea (Bk. 2). Craig Lowell and Sandy Felter, whose growth as people and as officers gave the very first two books much of their depth, are less compelling in _The Majors_. Felter has become more of a plot device than a person. Lowell is in danger of becoming what he threatened to be early in _The Lieutenants_: an insufferable twit with more money than brains. The rest of the main characters fare better, but none of them has the kind of life-changing story arc that Felter got in Book 1 or Lowell got in Book 2.
If you loved the very first two books in the series, _The Majors_ will have plenty to keep you interested. If you found yourself wishing that the very first two books had more shooting and less soap opera, you'll be even less satisfied this time around.

Ever since my wife bought me the fighting agents two weeks ago, I have been on a tear regarding griffin's books. The reason is simple: enjoyable characters. In the Brotherhood series, I am currently reading The Majors. Other than "mouse" who I could care less about, I am facinated by Lowell and what may come of him. I could do without all of the drinking (that's all they seem to do) and Griffin's constant references to previous novels. I'll be the very first to agree he is no Clancy. But, his books move smoothly for the most part and develop their characters well. I look forward to the remainder of this series and also to the Corps series which I have yet to read.

If you're a Griffin fan, you've probably already read this book and series. The continuing saga of Lowell and company. It's still my favorite of all his series.
