Rated by buyers 1 out of 5 stars - horrible
I have read Griffin's every one of Griffin's books at least 3 times. He WAS an awesome writer, but this book was horrible. It is hard to believe he contributed anymore than his name to the front cover. It is sad to think there will never be anymore of his wonderful writing to look forward too.I will never read anymore of his future books but go back and start reading his old books all over again. Don't waste your money on this book, write me and I will send you mine. It will never occupy a spot subsequent to all the classics he wrote on my bookshelf.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Dealing the Cards from the Bottom of the Deck
"Wild Bill" Donovan is holding a wild card. And it is about to be played in the shadows of the war-torn battlefields of World War II, with the planned Allied invasion of the European continent being the river card.

W.E.B. Griffin and William E. Butterworth IV continue the Men at War series with a meticulously paced novel through a chessboard of pieces; star power, political brokers, shady spies, anonymous heroes and a race against time to uncover the truth about a deadly weapon that can bring millions to their knees and decimate armies.

With deception possible after every move or hand dealt, Griffin and Butterworth IV deliver a welcome addition to the genre of military spy thrillers.





Rated by buyers 1 out of 5 stars - Twice-told tales...stale meat, indeed
The re-telling of an existing story is not unusual in literature. From Shakespeare to Dan Brown, authors have retold the same story but usually they add something. In the case of "Romeo and Juliet", Shakespeare added the theme of tragic love whereas in the original version, the theme was rebellious youth...a 180 degree shift in emphasis. "The Double Agents" revisits "The Man Who Never Was" and "Mafia Allies.". Not only was there nothing added but a great deal was deleted. Completely missing is the suspense of "The Man Who Never Was" and the GEE WHIZ! factor of "Mafia Allies."



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Double Agents
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.



Rated by buyers 1 out of 5 stars - Disappointment ghost writer
I have read all of W.E.B. Griffin's books to date and this is the very first that I have been disappointed in. I'm always leary when a favorite author starts co-writing books and this is no exception. It seems clear to me that Mr. Butterworth wrote this book mostly on his own and added his Father's (W.E.B. Griffin) to the cover. He tries to use the "patented" Griffin style but fails miserably. It becomes so predictable when he will use the phrase "Johnny gun" and other lines that I almost couldn't finish the book. A poor imitation of his Father. If his Griffin wants to turn over the writing of this (and some of his other series) to his son then please have the decency to remove his name from the cover so I won't feel swindeled when I read it.
