Book Description

August 1, 2003
Listen, Drummond, your client betrayed this country in ways too horrible to contemplate....In the history of espionage, there's never been one like him. But Major Sean Drummond never says die. Especially when an old flame begs him to defend her brigadier general husband in the biggest treason case in U.S. history. And even when Drummond is up against the fiercest prosecutor in the Army and fighting two murder charges. With an unconventional and beautiful co-counsel, Drummond plunges into an investigation that will unearth a damning array of secrets and cover-ups-and reveal a master manipulator who doesn't care who or what goes up in flames...as long as Drummond's client burns.

5.0 out of 5 stars Things Are Seldom What They Seem...., March 26, 2005
By 
John R. Linnell (New Gloucester, ME United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Kingmaker (Mass Market Paperback)
I am continuing to read Brian Haig's Sean Drummond series in reverse order, having been very much taken with his most recent effort. In this story Drummond, a JAG officer has been assigned to represent an army officer charged with treason. Not just any old run of the mill treason, mind you, but one that sets a new standard for betraying one's country. Not just any old run of the mill officer either, but one that had attained the rank of Brigadier General. Not just any old run of the mill Brigadier General either, but one who thirteen years earlier married the love of Sean Drummond's life. Drummond is none too happy taking on this case, but his ex-lover has asked him to defend her husband and Drummond has never figured out how to say "no" to her...about anything.

The defense appears to be a hopeless undertaking as the prosecutor, an old nemisis, keeps laying out his case for the public in various press releases and meetings and the evidence appears to be overwhelming. But, appearances can be deceiving as we all know.

Drummond hires a Russian speaking associate who is easy on the eyes and who also has a sharp and agile mind. As they start to look into the case they learn things about their client that disturb them as to his character and eventually as to whether or not he is guilty of the charges.

Haig creates a web of intrigue that is best left to the reader to discover. Suffice it to say that he does it in a very page turning type of way and you will not want to put the book down once things really start to come together. Haig has a special way with a story such as this and we should all be thankful that he does.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Enjoyable Story with an Obnoxious Protagonist, December 21, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Kingmaker (Mass Market Paperback)
This tale continues Brian Haig's series of thrillers that feature Major Sean Drummond, a loud-mouthed, know-it-all attorney in the US Army. The nice thing about the story is that Haig succeeds in giving us an engrossing plot and plenty of action despite his central character. In this story, Drummond has the assignment of defending Brigadier General William Morrison against charges of spying for Russia. Morrison, who is even more obnoxious than Drummond, claims that he is innocent, and the huge amount of evidence against him suggests that he may be, or we wouldn't have much of a story, but Drummond must prove it. He enlists the aid of Katrina Mazorski, a Russian-speaking, civilian attorney, and they go to work on the evidence against General Morrison. It soon becomes clear that someone does not want them to investigate too deeply and is willing to kill them to prevent it. From here on, the story becomes increasingly exciting and reaches an unexpected, but satisfying, climax. The book kept me fascinated during a long, uncomfortable airplane ride, and is well worth reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hold on tight or you might fly off, August 23, 2004
This review is from: The Kingmaker (Mass Market Paperback)
Sean Drommond is back at his wise-cracking best. His next assignment has him defending an "obviously" guilty general, who happens to have married Drummond's old girl friend.

Drummond brings on board a most unconventional co-counsel that would just as soon scratch his eyes out as assist him in his case.

The old girl friend seems to still have the hots for Drummond and her filthy rich father still disapproves of Drummond.

The case is going poorly, but Drummond figures he's doing something right when people crawl out from under rocks and try to kill him.

This is another winner.

Brian Haig is on my must read list.
