In Danger Path The Corps Book 8 W E B Griffin Books

IN DANGER’S PATH (Book 8 of 10) is the final book in The Corps series that occurs during WW2. Book 9 and 10 involve the Korean War.

I thoroughly enjoyed IN DANGER’S PATH. The story returns back to where it started - China. More historical figures are introduced like General Joseph Stilwell. As with General Douglas MacArthur, W.E.B. Griffin accurately captured General Stilwell’s “Vinegar Joe” personality.

Most of the events that are depicted in Books 1-8 are based on actual events. I’m not sure if a mission to install a weather station in the Gobi Desert was actually conducted. If there was such a mission, it was a gutsy operation.

Other reviewers have criticized W.E.B. Griffin for recounting events and characters from the earlier books in The Corps series. I too was somewhat annoyed, but I had read Books 1-8 in less than three months so the story was fresh in my mind. I then realized that Books 1-8 were released during a 15-year time span. For faithful readers who endured the long time period between book releases, a recounting of events and characters is probably necessary to refresh the reader’s memory.

In Danger Path The Corps Book 8 W E B Griffin Books Reviews

This eighth installment in the superb "The Corps" series, while good, is not the best of the series. It gets pretty draggy when the refugees and the weather detachment respectively, are slogging through the desert. I also didn't find it credible that the President would have time to be interested in the operation establishing an obscure weather station in Mongolia, however important to future strategic bombing missions. There are some good moments in this novel, but it is only a "like" not a "loved it" at least according to me.

Unfortunately, this is Griffin's last installment in the series dealing with the Pacific War, which is unfortunate because there was plenty of room for more. The series picks up in 1950 with Book 9. Oh well ... RJB.
Continues the pitfalls and detours involved in changing agencies, readjusting to new personnel and the territorial vs new kid on the block bureaucratic mentality as Gen Pickering attempts to establish himself as the new Deputy Director [Pacific} within the OSS and begin the nuts and bolts decision-making elements of getting a weather station operational in the Gobi Desert. Into the mix is Donovan's less than enthusiastic support for Pickering which is manifested itself through the actions of his Deputy Director of Administration and the Secretary of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. As once again proven, Pickerings "blunt" language and his lack of political correctness is appreciated by some and distained by others but the human quality of honestly acknowledgment that he doesn't know everything and is willing to listen to all input UNTIL he makes a decision is once again the thermostat for workability. There are several stories going on at one time, typical of Mr. Griffin. This is long of the longer books and although the various stories are necessary and in some cases fun, for me-especially the background on the "gypsy" American former military and those Marines who chose to "live to fight another day" and formed a caravan into the gobi that becomes the focus point of the location for the weather station, became a bit tedious and didn't really add as much to the story as it detracted by providing too much information. The various story lines include Weston's continued Greenbrier convalescence, Major Jake Dillon as acting OSS station Hawaii and Pick at Memphis as an IP. Add to this that Ernie finally gets McCoy to propose and commit to a wedding "if" he returns from his undisclosed assignment and Banning, enroute to China acknowledges that he has to end his relationship with Carolyn because it isn't fair to her- a decision & Ernie is not happy about.
All the characters come together in the last 50 pages or so of the book, somewhere out in the Gobi Desert. Its a good read, and ends with little or no clue regarding the last two books in this series- in other words, except for continuing the drama in the Gobi the next assignment is an unknown.
