REVIEW
The Major is back in book two of the Citizen Warrior Series, "HONOR DEFENDED."
As we learned from HONOR DUE, the Major is a kindhearted, caring, family man.
He is also the Vietnam vet who will not allow anything to cross his path when it
comes to hurting innocent citizens, especially his friends, and family. While
still mourning the death of one of his War Brothers, he receives notification
of a horrifying murder and kidnapping involving a friend. Carmen was kidnapped,
and her husband who was an American soldier and home from Iraq was beheaded,
then their home was set on fire. The Major calls in his troops, and begins the
investigation. Does Carmen return to safety, and where is her vehicle? How is it
possible that twelve terrorists wind up in someone's backyard, why was it that
easy? How many battles and interrogations will the Major face? Do the Major's
Warriors seek revenge, and is justice served? Embrace yourself, put on your
seatbelt, and enjoy the greatest thrill ride you've ever endured! The setting in
the great NorthWest is perfect for the action-packed adventure to take place,
the story is engrossing, and the characters come to life once again. I recommend
this novel to all mystery lovers who enjoy thrillers, with humor, and compassion.
The plot consists of hard-hitting action, and is emotional, and heartwarming.
When the Major realizes that the crime committed was no random act of
violence, the fireworks begin, tension is at its highest peak, and the adrenaline
is flowing. The bond between the Warriors is stronger than ever as excitement
explodes, while the hunt begins. D.H. Brown penned an incredible breathtaking
adventure as his Masterpiece becomes a tribute to Vietnam vets. "HONOR
DEFENDED" is as compelling as Steven Spielberg's "SAVING PRIVATE RYAN"
with Tom Hanks!

Hi Geri, Just stopped to tell you I thoroughly agree with your assessment of Honor Defended. I think it even surpasses Honor Due, but it was so engrossing, I wouldn't swear to it!

Hello GA,
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting &
commenting! I did so much enjoy
"HONOR DUE" but "HONOR DEFENDED"
is a step up to Perfection to say
the least!
My wife Jeri has been raving about this author for months so I decided to sit down and read his books. Both of them. Needless to say once I started the first, Honor Due, I couldn't put them down until I finished Honor Defended. Right on Geri. You hit the nail right on the head. Great author. Hope he soon finds that wider audience. D H Brown sure deserves it.
ReplyDeletethanks for another great review of d h brown's writing. I agreed with the first on about honor due and you're right on the mark about honor defended. I don't actually read much action writing but i really like the major and his way of telling a story. witing for book number 3.

Hi Gary,
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting
& Commenting! I totally agree with
your wife! "HONOR DEFENDED" in my
opinion is made for the Movie screen, without a doubt!
Hi Ester,
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly for
visiting & commenting! D.H. Brown
certainly deserves the Recognition!
Great writers come along only rarely. D H Brown is one. He makes the characters come alive. You know sometimes a writer can't compete with the first book? Well he didn't even try. Honor Defended is a whirlwind 24 hour race against time. You so got that Geri with your review. Love your work.
ReplyDeleteHi Paul,
ReplyDeleteThank you very much & thank you for commenting! In my opinion,
"HONOR DUE" is Pure Gold! Then
we move up to "HONOR DEFENDED"
which is Pure Gold, with a
Diamond added! It simply gets
Better & Better! Only Upgrades
with the One & Only Major!
Love your review of D. H. Brown's Honor Defended. Couldn't have said it better myself. This author sure knows how to get a protagonist into your mind so you don't forget them. I've read both of his books and can't wait for the third, Honor Defended.
ReplyDeleteHello Marshall,
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Book 3
will be well worth the read.
I have all the Faith one needs
in this series. Thank you for
visiting & commenting. It is much
Appreciated!
