About this audiobook
Critics and fans everywhere love the Men at War series, books "rich with witty banter and nail-biting undercover work" (Entertainment Weekly).
It is summer 1943. Two of the Allies' most important plans are at grave risk - Operation Overlord's invasion of France and the Manhattan Project's race to build the atomic bomb. A furious President Roosevelt turns to OSS spy chief Wild Bill Donovan - and Donovan turns to Dick Canidy and his teams behind enemy lines. They've certainly got their work cut out for them.
In the weeks to come, they must fight the Axis in many ways, to try to find and sabotage Germany's new "aerial torpedo" rockets, some of which are rumored to be fitted out with deadly nerve gas and aimed at London; to rescue a missing covert OSS team bearing vital secrets; and to exploit German intelligence agents and generals disgruntled enough with Hitler to maybe try to topple him.
And as if all that weren't enough, they must battle the enemy within, as well: The Soviets are using moles to steal Manhattan Project secrets, and if the Soviets build their own atomic bomb . . . who knows where that might lead?
Filled to the brim with action, character, and the deep understanding of the military heart and mind that have made Griffin's novels outstanding, The Spymasters is simply great listening.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Enjoyable, second half moved well. Finished cleanly.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5i always really enjoy this series of the oss. this continues where the last one left off. i always learn alot and i love that at the end of the book it gives you the rest of the facts of the situation it was talking about. this one is about the v1's that germany built that were like the first missles. they had a jet pulse and were able to be sent 130 miles away. their plan was then to add nerve gas behind them in the bomb to do even more damage. but i will let you read the book. loved it as always.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Pretty fun read, quick and easy. Author covered the character world from FDR through Wild Bill Donovan to [our hero] Dick Kanady in 1943 as the OSS does sneaky stuff on Sicily. The writing style appears stilted and artificial, like Army writing, and the long repeats from previous books are annoying. Nevertheless, I had fun reading it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Typical Griffin. Hugely detailed. Even though the result can be anticipated, this book nevertheless builds a certain tension., weaving fact and fiction to support the facts. While it never would interfere with my enjoyment from reading Griffin, the typical rush to end the book occurs. His characters are true to the "life stories" established in earlier books.
