by W.E.B. Griffin (Get the Book)The Men at War series, chronicling the adventures of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during World War II, is dangerously close to running out of time. The OSS was dissolved in September 1945 to make way for the new CIA and this novel is set in the summer of '43. Operation Overlord and the Manhattan Project are in full swing, both designed to ensure a speedy end to the war. But both projects are in serious jeopardy, and only Dick Canidy, OSS chief Bill Donovan's right-hand man, can find a way to protect them. Battling moles, Soviet spies, and Nazis, the OSS agents race against time to keep the enemy from pushing ahead in the race to win the war. The book is full of action, with characters who are reasonably well drawn and believable (for a novel that is completely plot-driven). Fans of wartime adventure stories (especially, but not limited to, Griffin's legion of readers) should be very pleased. --Booklist
