A Marine never leaves anyone behind
23 Sep 2004
Format:Audio Cassette
This book is all about the Marine code of never leaving anyone behind. Fleming Pickering puts together a team to pull two of their men off a tropical island. They have been left there for quite some time in order to be part of the Coast Watchers that were placed throughout the South Pacific. Their purpose was to keep an eye on what the Japanese were doing in order to maintain the US position in Guadalcanal. The thing I really like about these books is the characters that Griffin has portrayed. I feel like I know each and every one of them. I like the history lesson about the war in the Pacific as well. I have to admit - I am hooked on this series.

excellent......
20 Dec 2010
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I think what makes Griffin great is the epic nature of his various series'. If you pick up one book in The Corps series, read it and judge it separate from the books that preceed it, you are likely to do that book a disservice in it's rating. I'm about mid way through The Corps series and I enjoy the stories immensley. Same is true of The Brotherhood of War series - excellent also!

Kindle pricing way too high...
20 May 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm going to have to stop buying this series...I just can't justify this pricing model. The books have been out for 20 years or so, and are available for pennies on the dollar EVERYWHERE...it just makes no sense to have these priced at $7.99.
These books should be $2.99 or less for the Kindle version...there is no printing or distribution cost to associate with it, and the publisher provides one digital copy for re-distribution.
I'm done with greedy publisher & greedy authors...I have WAY too many other ways to spend my disposible income...time they all understand that and price accordingly.
