HONOR DEFENDED by D. H. BROWN

“Don't read HONOR DEFENDED before you go to bed! Start in the morning because once you crack that cover you're going to be hooked! Read in bed and your night is gone before you know it!
     This is a page turning thrill ride. Set in the great Northwest. D. H. BROWN paints with his writing a scene of both rugged beauty, and hard hitting action. Loaded with everything a thriller should be this book sets the mark on adveture.
     A must read for those hungry for a real adventure story!”
D. Clayton Meadows Author, EPITAPH & OF ICE AND STEEL

"Exciting, gripping, and well-written, [HONOR DEFENDED] is a keeper for Vietnam vets, special forces operators, or those that love a good action narrative told in first person. Very highly recommended."
R. Ballister, author, God Does Have A Sense of Humor

"If D.H.BROWN's vanguard novel, HONOR DUE, was a silver-medal-winner from the Military Writers, then they had best be giving some serious consideration to awarding a gold medal for the follow-up story, HONOR DEFENDED. If it isn't deserved, then I will eat my greasy, old, submarine ball cap."
Stepaken "SAT" (Las Vegas, NV)

"Does one have to be an active member of the military to fight the war on terror? HONOR DEFENDED is another novel in D.H.BROWN's Citizen Warrior series following the discharged Major Westfall as he returns home. When a close friend meets a gruesome end and the friend's wife gone missing, Major Westfall isn't going to let his civilian life prevent him from getting to the heart of the matter. An action-packed thrill ride from cover to cover."
Midwest Book Review

"Again, once I started to read [HONOR DEFENDED], I had to keep reading because I thought that I would miss an important detail that lead into the next chapter, missing out on some of the action. This is an outstanding mystery novel that has to be read though & through. Then read again to find the parts you missed the first time.
     Thank you Mr. Brown for your great talent of suspenseful & creative writing. When is the next book due?"
John C. Fischer, Special Forces Vietnam

"[HONOR DEFENDED] is an engrossing story. The characters and the story are true and believable. This is a story more about friendship and family than it is about war and battles. This book holds a high recommendation from this reviewer."
Robert Medak - AllBook Reviews

“HONOR DEFENDED, the second book in the Citizen Warrior series by D.H.BROWN is not only just as exciting an adventure as the first book, Honor Due; but, in many ways, it more effectively illustrates the power of citizen warriors!
     Readers, if you like action and adventure, have a love for the USA, and enjoy great characterization of our citizens, then you’re already behind. I advise you to get HONOR DUE and this book, HONOR DEFENDED at the same time and spend a long weekend with The Major—you gotta love him!”
G. A. Bixler--IP Book Reviewer

“D.H.BROWN penned an incredible breathtaking adventure as his Masterpiece becomes a tribute to Vietnam vets. HONOR DEFENDED is as compelling as Steven Spielberg's "SAVING PRIVATE RYAN" with Tom Hanks!”
Geraldine Ahearn AUTHOR GERI AHEARN'S BOOK REVIEWS

Author Quotes for:

HONOR DUE by D. H. BROWN

“D. H. BROWN has written a pulse pounding story with a strong unique voice, an unforgettable character, and a mesmerizingly clever plot.” David H. Dun--National Bestselling Author, Necessary Evil and The Black Silent

“I did it all in one sitting and thought it was terrific! The Northwest noir setting, a combination of high-tech and mossy rusticity, the pacing and measured violence --it was all quite capivating.
     A tense thriller painted on a dark palette, suffused with the heavy, cedary incense of the rugged northwest forests. D.H.BROWN's tight plotting and vivid characters continued to haunt me long after I had closed the book.” Michael Curtis Ford--National Bestselling Author The Ten Thousand, The Sword Of Attila and The Fall Of Rome

“In HONOR DUE, with not a wasted word, D.H.BROWN has crafted a fast paced, electrifying manly modern thriller (& love story), about how the past can come back to bite you, giving honor due to fallen War Brothers, & stepping forward into the future. Like elk steaks, free-range chicken eggs, home-baked pies with apples from the orchard & good coffee, HONOR DUE is a satisfying read with something to say about how we live our lives.” RebeccasReads.com

“Lee Child--watch out! HONOR DUE is an exciting, interesting, and informative read that appeals even to a dove like me. It's about time we got a reality check on the warrior's mind. Great first book.” Lynn Lott--Author of Seven Steps on the Writer's Path

“In a suspenseful, sometimes-funny first book in his Citizen Warrior Series, D.H.BROWN, in HONOR DUE, has won a prime location on my bookshelf as a must-read author. I think you'll grow to love the sensitive, loving, and protective man that lies within the Major's gruff and gritty exterior.” G. A. Bixler--IP Book Reviewer

“HONOR DUE. It's FANTASTIC. The new generation's Rambo. I loved every page. D. H. BROWN has a way of keeping the reader involved and turning the pages as events unfold. I am looking forward to the next book in the Citizen Warrior Series.” p. m. terrell--Author of The China Conspiracy and Kickback
