his, the third in the Men at War series, takes us to the European theatre with Canidy, Whittaker, Bitter and company. Strong characters such as Fulmar, the Duchess and Canidy are back.

There's a reasonable amount of action, although it's somewhat disjointed, as if certain minor gaps in the story were a little too much trouble to fill. The large amount of material on the German characters gives an interesting look at life in the black of the SS-SD. We see some of the 'military/naval moments' that Griffin does so well.

On the other hand, we have the usual bodice-ripping sexual stuff, with the normal number of oversexed females practically ravishing males. At least in this book none of them seem to be virgins suddenly surrendering their 'pearl of great price', as Griffin usually describes the hymen. And, of course, we cannot get through a book without at least one character being unfaithful to a spouse.

If you are new to Men at War but not to Griffin, this may catch you a bit off guard.
