Publisher's summary

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.

I'm totally a fan

This did not disappoint. Perhaps not the best but entertaining as always. I've listened to all the books in this series and in all of the series.

Ties to previous characters and the OSS.

First off, this is the first time I listened to a book that Alexander Cendese narrated and I look forward to more of his work. He does a remarkable job of accents and distinguishing the different characters. Regarding the characters, there were way too many and it was hard to keep track who was who and some had little input on developing the story. Just downloaded Death at Nuremberg and can't wait for a driving trip to listen to it.
