Ten years after the Major retired as a special ops agent for the U.S. government, he'd found his own private sanctuary. Living deep in the Olympic Rainforest of Washington state, the Major wanted only to be left alone. He has very few friends he associates with and his nearest neighbor is miles down the road.
Unfortunately, others don't see things the same way. The Major is suddenly thrown back into the game when he finds himself being hunted, with no clue as to why. And he can't ignore it. These people -- whoever they are -- are dead serious. They've already tortured and killed one of his best friends.
Now, the Major sees it as both a matter of survival and revenge. Not only for himself, but also for the daughter of his friend, who witnessed the death of her father and managed to escape the same fate.
"HONOR DUE" is jam-packed full of action. From the first page to the last, the reader is carried along through a master plan of death and endurance as the Major must anticipate every move his enemies make.
This book is definitely for an adult audience. D.H. BROWN wastes no words to describe in detail the violent steps the Major takes to save his own life. It's not a book for the weak at heart, yet that is one of the main reasons why this book is so appealing. Any watering down of the action would have made for an entirely different read.
D.H. BROWN is currently working on a sequel, "HONOR DEFENDED," expected to hit the shelves this spring. If he can keep up the pace, it should be well worth the read. However, readers would be well advised to read the current novel first as included flashbacks to earlier days help describe who the Major is and why he lives the way he does.
D.H. BROWN has found a niche in the literary world for himself and I, for one, am looking forward to reading more books by this author. So, move over John Rambo and Scott McCoy ("Delta Force"). You just may have met your match in the Major of "HONOR DUE."
