From the Author
Tac Leader—What Honor Requires, is the first book in the Tac Leader Trilogy. It was both fun and challenging to write. One of the main reasons I wrote this book was to honor folks that have come into my life and had an impact on me.
The heroes and villains in this book are, for the most part, based on real people. I hope that those people in my life that have gone "missing-in-action" will recognize themselves in the story and make contact with me.
Another reason I wrote the book was to acknowledge the people I don’t know—ordinary people that routinely do extraordinary things.
They do the hard thing because it’s the right thing. They make America stronger everyday,just by being who they are and by doing what they do.
That is the real strength of America, a bunch of good folks focused on doing what they are supposed to do. They work hard, they love their kids, they love their spouses, they love their God and they love their country.
Join us soon in the next adventure, Tac Leader—Night Hawks, as Doc and the rest of the Tac Team tackle their next mission.
I would appreciate your comments on the story. I promise to make the Tac Leader Trilogy both technically and tactically accurate, and also entertaining. I would be honored to hear from you.I would love the opportunity to meet you.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A MUST READ,
By JERRY LEA OWEN (SHREVEPORT , LOUISIANA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: TAC LEADER: What Honor Requires (Paperback)
A must read if you enjoy the good guys defeat evil (with a military back ground of honor and service to our country)--Hoo rah! Bob Anderson holds the highest enlisted rank in the Air Firce Reserves--Chief Master Sargent, two Ph D's, and not only looks the part but may have "done the job" at times. He writes so much like one of my favorite authors--James Lee Burke ( 24 novels). Doc and Gonzo in this story remind me of Burkes' --Earl Swagger (Viet Nam Snipper) story. More than ever we need these great American Heroes---A hard to put down book . Jerry Lea Owen (another old Salt)

4.0 out of 5 stars
Superb! An original story about a forgotten code.,
By Loki "Lucien" (San Jose, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: TAC LEADER: What Honor Requires (Paperback)
This is a compelling story about duty and honor; about doing what is right, not what is easiest. The originality of the story grabs you and quickly pulls you into the world of clandestine military operations. Bob Anderson does a superb job in developing the story line and characters quickly and gets on with the business of telling the story. Based on real people, real feelings, and sincere camaraderie TAC LEADER tells a story of what we would all like to accomplish in our lives of which only a few of us ever do. What makes this book so special is the professionally intimate relationships and bonding that this band of do-gooders exudes. It makes you feel good and proud to be an American!
The ending is totally unexpected and brilliantly written as an effortless segue for continuing the trilogy. I like flashback stories and Bob expertly uses this technique to set the stage for a thrill ride fit for connoisseurs of weaponry and martial arts and the proper use thereof. TAC LEADER is a excellent book by a fine author and friend.
