Book Description

May 18, 2004
Someone snatched his cousin's wife and son. FBI agent Luke Falcon is searching for a kidnapper and sorting out the crime. He's afraid a stalker is responsible. He's afraid they're already dead. And he'll do anything required to get them back alive ... but he didn't plan on falling in love with the only witness.

“Fidelity, Bravery, and Integrity.” –FBI Motto

FBI agent Luke Falcon has a dead woman on his hands, a fresh victim from his old adversary, Frank Hardin. This time, Frank won’t walk away. But even that case will have to wait when Luke’s extended family disappears over Labor Day weekend. Is there a harmless explanation? Or could they have been victims of a sordid crime?

Fifth-grade teacher Caroline Lane cares deeply for Luke, but she’s not certain she can handle the pressures of dating someone in his line of work. When foul play strikes his family, she gets a far closer view of those pressures than she ever wanted. She’s grateful that God brought Luke into her life. But will they share anything more than tragedy by the time the storm passes?

Luke has never worked a case involving family. It’s tempting to let his hardened exterior weaken, given the circumstances. But he has to be strong if he’s going to bring them all home. When the ransom delivery doesn’t go down as planned and the bodies start piling up, so does Luke’s frustration. He fears that innocent people may not survive this crisis...and neither will his relationship with Caroline.

Story Behind the Book

Dee was inspired to write True Courage because she wanted to find out how Christians would react when a sudden storm of life appeared, and either their lives were built on a rock and could withstand the storm or their foundations were in sand and were shaken by events. Dee hopes that readers simply enjoy a page-turning story that honors God. But under that she wants Christians to look again at why they believe and how that truth impacts daily life during times of stress. And she wants those who don’t know Jesus to find Him to be relevant to today and nonthreatening to check out.

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

4.0 out of 5 stars Pleased, May 27, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: True Courage (Uncommon Heroes, Book 4) (Audio CD)
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.
