The year is 1943, and Argentina is officially neutral, but crawling with every kind of spy, sympathizer, and military official imaginable. The hero is Cletus Frade, a Marine pilot recruited by the OSS, with strong family ties to Argentina, and a lot on his hands. OSS chief Wild Bill Donovan has asked him to set up his own official-but-really-OSS airline in Argentina, using "loaned" Lockheed Lodestars and Constellations. Of even more concern are two interwoven German operations: a government scheme for Jews outside the Fatherland to purchase the freedom of their relatives in concentration camps, who will then be transported to Argentina and Uruguay; and a plan called Operation Phoenix.… (plus d'informations)

After two volumes of set-up, this series really gets rolling in this third volume. Clete Frade comes into his own: uncertainty about his abilities exists only in his mind as the commander is making all sorts of command decisions. ( )

This is a very long book, with multiple repeats of the plot for those who don't follow it all very well. The explanations are detailed and precise. Some may complain that there are multiple characters--yes, dozens of them. But, this is the fourth in a series and I don't recommend starting anywhere but #1. You can find the plot on any review site. This episode brings in Howard Hughes with a cameo by FDR to chat with our hero Cleat Frade. The pronunciation of his name is different this episode than before or of his father. Contributing to the length, the reader will always note and be prepared for a complete reading of every written document described. And, if I ever hear the repeated name of the Estancia again, it will be too soon: ( )

This is a very well done book. The writer does a very good job of making you feel it. I learned quite a few things i didn't know from reading this. i researched after and found a lot of truth to it. and that was just the background information and not really the main story. if you like history or into world war two info this is an excellent book to read. i recommend it highly. there was even an article from 2004 in the back of the book implying connection to the story.

This fiction is the 30th book I have read from Griffin. Each of his books is written in an easy and suspenseful story. Once you are in the book, it is hard to put it down.
This book is a continuation of the adventures, problems, and mysterious operations of undercover agents during WWII. The plot centers on an American spy team in Argentina. The chief of the team is jugging information received from Argentinians and Germans. The Germans who lost two of their spies in an operation are replacing them with more experienced agents. They are aware that a spy is among them, but they have not flushed him out. By replacing several personnel in their embassy and sending them back to Germany, the team hopes to found out their spy. An aide disappears with his wife and they are placed into the American hands making the American chief to come with solution.
