Major Bobby Samuels and his female partner Captain Bo Devore find themselves back in the thick of terrorist plots, this time here at home as the second installment of Bendell's Criminal Investigation Detachment (CID) thrillers unfolds from one end of the country to the other.

Don has lived what he writes about. His own personal history is the stuff of legends. Don is an excellent writer and a patriot who cares deeply for America and those who serve her in these dangerous times. This book is as timely as tomorrow's headlines. It makes a nice gift for our men and women who are far from their homes and loved ones so that we can sleep safely in our beds.

Army Criminal Investigative Service--not a group you hear much about. Policing their own can not be easy. These officers and enlisted do with fairness and compassion. The characters have flaws and fears but have each others backs. Another way our troops protect and defend. Only three books so far, wish there were more.

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb thriller, December 24, 2006

(#1 Hall OF FAME REVIEWER)    (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Criminal Investigation Detachment #2: Broken Borders (Mass Market Paperback)

Though he drank a few at a stop-off at the Denver airport, Army's Criminal Investigation Detachment (CID) Major Bobby Samuels remains alert noticing a Mexican passenger acting slightly strange. He informs his subordinate Captain Bo Devore and soon afterward a flight attendant as he realizes the person is not Mexican, but Middle Eastern. The plain clothes military police investigators thwart a hijacking, but the plane crashes in the Rockies; they insure everyone, except the hijacker, survives until help arrives.

However, the two CID agents also learned from the information the deceased terrorist carried of an Al-Qaeda plot to sneak into the country from the porous Mexican border two backpack nuclear bombs to detonate at the same time in two American cities. Thus their mission has changed from investigating a potential Iranian agent at the Monterrey, California Defense Language School to uncovering the whereabouts of the dirty bombs and their holders before the terrorist acts occur.

BROKEN BORDERS, the sequel to the exhilarating CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION DETACHMENT, is a superb thriller that provides the audience with a deep look at the work of the CID as part of the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT). This time the fight is stateside (as opposed to the first tale whose setting is in Iraq). The story line is non stop action from the Colorado crash until the final confrontation as heroic Major Samuels and Captain Devore try to avert a 9/11 repeat as Don Bendell makes a strong case to plug the leak at the Mexican border not because of the vast majority of illegal entrants seeking economic opportunity, but to prevent a monstrous atrocity on American soil.
