5.0 out of 5 stars A great read, June 1, 2004

This review is from: True Courage (Uncommon Heroes, Book 4) (Audio CD)

True Courage was a really good book. I stayed up all night reading it. I was surprised that it wasn't about someone in the military because the other three books were.
Caroline Lane is devasted when her sister, Sharon, and her family disappear. And when only her brother-in-law Mark is found in a wrecked car her fears mount.It soon is clear it's a kidnapping and FBI agent Luke Falcon, Mark's cousin races against time to find Sharon and her son, Benjamin.He worries that innocent people will not survive..nor his relationship with Caroline.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good book, bad audio sounds, January 5, 2006

If you have a choice between the paperback and audio of True Courage, I would recommend the paperback. This audio CD has a male voice that seems too "acted." Also, sound effects and music have been added (keys jangling, annoying beepings for pagers, phones ringing, ominous music, etc.), and they really distract you from the story and your own imagination. Definitely go for the paperback.

Pleasant read - would recommend. I've read all the other Dee Henderson books and this one is better than the final O'Mally series book - but not quite as good as some of the earlier Henderson books. As a part of the Uncommon Heroes series - which so far had all centered around the military and shared characters between the books - I was suprised that this book is non-military and shares no ties with the previous three books in the series. Plot does keep moving, although you don't get to understand what drives the "hero" as well as in previous books.
