وصف الناشر
Dick Canidy races to stop an assassin from disrupting a vital conference that will shape the course of World War II in the latest electrifying entry in W.E.B. Griffin's New York Times bestselling Men at War series.
November 1943. Stalin is pressing the Allies to open a second front in Europe in order to ease the pressure on the bloody grinding war in the East. Roosevelt and Churchill agree to meet the Soviet premier in Tehran.
Wild Bill Donovan, the charismatic leader of the OSS, has intelligence that someone is planning to assassinate either or both of the Western leaders at the conference. He sends his best agent, Dick Canidy, to thwart the plan, but how can he do that when he doesn't even know if the killer is a Nazi or an Ally?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Kirsanow's static second contribution to Griffin's Men at War series (after The Devil's Weapons) sees U.S. Army major Richard Canidy and lieutenant Eric Fulmar heading off a pair of assassination plots. In 1943, Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin travel to Tehran to discuss war plans. As the heads of state prepare to convene, the U.S. gets word that a German SS officer and a Russian NKVD major have separately been tasked with killing the leaders. "Wild Bill" Donovan, head of the Office of Strategic Services, taps Canidy and Fulmar to intervene. Predictably, their mission proves treacherous, though a series of failed attempts on Canidy's and Fulmar's lives doesn't lead to the climactic showdown readers might expect. Fortunately, two memorable supporting characters from the previous entry, the Thorisdottir sisters, who help transport OSS contacts to secure locations around the world, get even more to do this time around. Though series fans may enjoy this entry's familiar rhythms, they'll wish it had more consequential action. This lacks the tension of top-tier Griffin.

Zero Option
Not as good as the previous one, but still enjoyable!
Garbage Do Not Buy
This reads like it was written by a twelve year old dreaming of war. W.E.B is rolling in his grave over this one. I say again, IT IS GARBAGE!! I want my 14.99 back.
Zero Option a big disappointment
WEB Griffin is my favorite author. This book is horrible and was poorly written. It is a huge disappointment to credit this trash to a great man and wonderful author.
