Book Description

Publication Date: September 10, 2007

In "Honor Due," the Major is an ex-Special Forces Vet whose years in 'Nam taught him the art of war. He'd worked covertly for the government until the '90s, when bone-tired of the killing, he walked away and lost himself in the Pacific Northwest. Until he's targeted by a Special Ops team, and forced to resume hunting in the old way. When he find his old Montagnard friend, former Rhade Striker, tortured and killed, and his friend's daughter hiding in the forest, he vows to take the vengeance owed his fallen brother and family. The Major's new mission is to unearth what happened 35 years earlier as South Vietnam was falling, that has triggered the current pursuit. Still mourning his Rhade wife and children killed in that far-away jungle, he doesn't expect to find, and does, another chance at love. "Honor Due" speaks for the soul of our citizen warriors, appealing to readers of both genders interested in the way soldiers view the world. Without glamorizing violence, "Honor Due" offers a tense drama and insights into the warrior's code, honor, personal responsibility and the necessity of keeping fang and claw sharp in this age of terrorism.

American Authors Association Review

This entertaining thriller is unusual in two ways, the hero is nearer sixty than fifty, and the action takes place in a relatively small area of the wilderness of the state of Washington. Despite his age, this hero is intelligent, fit, well-armed and prepared for anything. The paranoia that fed his quest for survival, is well-founded, as he realizes he's being stalked. After he discovers the mutilated body of a friend from the Vietnam war and finds the man's injured daughter, he knows he must prepare himself for the worst. He only knows the answer to what's happening lies deep in his past.

Honor Due is filled with suspense and action, modern technology and a tender love story. Thrilling from page one to the end, this is a true page-turner. D. H. Brown has created a winner.

MACK BOLAN FANS WILL LOVE THIS BOOK.

Some secrets age well, others tend fester. The good Major has retired, but some of his secrets have not. They come to visit the Major in his secluded Northwest forest home--armed to the teeth--and stay to feed the trees. All of which proves the old adage, "Two men can always keep a secret if one of them is dead."

This is the best debut novel I have read in some time. The characters are solid and the scenes are well set. Though occasionally predictable, the plot (I would like to have seen the author's take on the cops finding the body of the old man in the Major's freezer while he was sleeping with the old man's daughter) holds the reader's attention and satisfies the needs of the arc of the characters.

Old snake-eaters and old snakes have one thing in common; they are cunning and deadly. I look forward to my next visit with the Major in HONOR DEFENDED.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Exciting and Captivating Read, November 30, 2007

This review comes with a warning: Once you start this book, you won't be able to put it down! And I need to qualify my opinion by stating categorically that this is NOT a genre I generally read. However, David Brown writes so well and so believably that you'll be hooked by the second page. Fascinating characters, plot twists and turns and a facility for language all make this a must read. Can't wait to see the next in the series. I look forward to spending time with The Major again.
