Summary
Dick Canidy and the agents of the OSS scour war torn Poland looking for a rocket scientist who holds the secrets to the Nazis most dangerous weapon in this entry in W。E。B。 Griffin's New York Times bestselling Men at War series。
April 1940。 By terms of the Soviet Nazi Nonaggression pact， the two dictatorships divided the helpless nation of Poland。 Now， the Russians are rounding up enemies of the state in their occupation zone， but one essential target slips away。 Dr。 Sebastian Kapsky had spent years working with Walter Riedel and Werner von Braun in the early days of rocket science， but as a man with a conscience he refused to continue when he saw the perversion of their work by the Nazis。 That makes him the most knowledgeable person about German superweapons outside of Germany。
The Germans want him。 The Soviets are desperate to grab him， but Wild Bill Donovan knows there's only one man who can find him in the middle of a war zone and get him out—Dick Canidy。

W。E。B。 Griffin is one of my all time favorite authors and I was pleasantly surprised when the news came that his Men at War series should continue with Peter Kirsanow as author。 The Devil's Weapon is that book。 It will be the 8th in the series。 Sadly apart from a few names it has nothing to do with the original and I am sad to say it would have been better left undone。 Everything that Dick Canidy and Eric Fulmar， two of the main characters has done in the previous seven books is gone。 I mean whe W。E。B。 Griffin is one of my all time favorite authors and I was pleasantly surprised when the news came that his Men at War series should continue with Peter Kirsanow as author。 The Devil's Weapon is that book。 It will be the 8th in the series。 Sadly apart from a few names it has nothing to do with the original and I am sad to say it would have been better left undone。 Everything that Dick Canidy and Eric Fulmar， two of the main characters has done in the previous seven books is gone。 I mean where is Whitby house？ Where is his merry band of outlaws and his disregard for authority？ I also miss the attention to detail and planning of missions。 The book in itself is a good WW2 adventure and very well written but I'm sad to say it has nothing to do with the creations of Griffin。 I know it's a new author but others who has been tasked with continuing a series has done a great job and this is not it。 Still I would like to thank G。P。 Putnam's Sons， Penguin Random House and Edelweiss for giving me this advance copy。 。。。more

The Devil's Weapons by Peter Kirsanow is a continuation of W。E。B。 Griffin's Men at War series featuring members of the OSS during World War II。 Dick Canidy and other agents of the OSS are charged with the impossible; getting a scientist out of occupied Poland。 The rocket scientist is the brains behind a German weapon that has the ability to change the world。 Only probably is the Russians want him also and Germany will do anything to prevent him from escaping。 The fate of the world is literally i The Devil's Weapons by Peter Kirsanow is a continuation of W。E。B。 Griffin's Men at War series featuring members of the OSS during World War II。 Dick Canidy and other agents of the OSS are charged with the impossible; getting a scientist out of occupied Poland。 The rocket scientist is the brains behind a German weapon that has the ability to change the world。 Only probably is the Russians want him also and Germany will do anything to prevent him from escaping。 The fate of the world is literally in this scientist's head and its up to Dick Canidy and his team to save the world from the Nazi domination。 This was my first time in Griffin's Men at War series and I thoroughly enjoyed it。 I requested The Devil's Weapons solely based on Peter Kirsanow and his previous works。 Not knowing anything of the characters or series， it didn't take long until I was pulled in and immersed into World War II。 My only gripe deals with the timeline throughout the book。 At certain points the timeline seemed out of whack like a chapter was out of place。 Or I could just not be smart enough to follow along。 Either way， it wasn't detrimental to the story and easily to get back on track。Whether you are a fan of Griffin's Men at War series or a newb like me， there is plenty to love in The Devil's Weapons。My sincere thanks to Peter Kirsanow， G。P。 Putnam's Sons， and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an advanced copy of The Devil's Weapons。Edit-- I've been told the characters are different than previous books so what do I know。 。。。more
