Summary

W.E.B. Griffin first made his name on the national scene with his Brotherhood of War series, eight novels featuring the lives and exploits of the men of the U.S. Army, and the women who love them, in a saga that quickly became a tremendous critical and popular success.

The last of the Brotherhoods was published in 1988, yet there was always one more story he wanted to tell -- and this is it. Craig Lowell, Sandy Felter, Jack Portet, Geoff Craig, Robert Bellmon, George Washington "Father" Lunsford, Master Sergeant Doubting Thomas: they're all back in the dramatic new novel, Special Ops.

In 1964, Cuban revolutionary Che Guevara went to the Congo with two hundred men, intent on making it his first step in taking over Africa and South America. He failed, thanks in large part to the efforts of an intrepid band of Green Berets. Licking his wounds, he retreated to Cuba to recruit more men and try the same thing in Bolivia. He failed there, too. In fact, he died there, and thus, despite his incompetence, became a glorious martyr to the cause. But who was trying to kill him, really -- and who was trying to keep him alive?

There, Griffin has some surprises up his sleeve, and as he takes u through the twists and turns of Special Ops, he spins a story of devilish cunning and thrilling adventure. Filled with crackling realism, rich characters, real heroes, and that special flair for the military heart and mind that has made Griffin's novels so popular for so long, Special Ops is storytelling at its finest: a welcome return for new fans and old.
