About this audiobook
From #1 New York Times bestselling author W. E. B. Griffin comes the dramatic third novel in the Clandestine Operations series about the Cold War, the fledgling Central Intelligence Agency-and a new breed of warrior.
January 1946: Two WACs leave an officers' club in Munich, and four Soviet NKGB agents kidnap them at knifepoint in the parking lot and shove them in the back of an ambulance. That is the agents' first mistake, and their last. One of the WACs, a blond woman improbably named Claudette Colbert, works for the new Directorate of Central Intelligence, and three of the men end up dead and the fourth wounded.
The "incident," however, will send shock waves rippling up and down the line and have major repercussions not only for her, but for her boss, James Cronley, Chief DCI-Europe, and for everybody involved in their still-evolving enterprise. For, though the Germans may have been defeated, Cronley and his company are on the front lines of an entirely different kind of war now. The enemy has changed, the rules have changed-and the stakes have never been higher.
W.E.B. Griffin
W.E.B. Griffin is the author of six bestselling series—and now Clandestine Operations. William E. Butterworth IV has worked closely with his father for more than a decade, and is the coauthor with him of many books, most recently Hazardous Duty and Top Secret.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5One of Griffin and Butterworth's best books of recent years. He manages to keep three mysteries in the air at the same time.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was an engaging story as the West transitioned into the Cold War with Russia. This period is right in the time frame and place when Griffin served in the Army. It has intrigue and it's related to the period. By now (book 3), we know the characters and what they will do; tracking them is less of a problem. I enjoyed the book, but did not eat it up.
