Clallam Bay, WA -- With his first novel HONOR DUE, D. H. BROWN delves into the life of a burned-out former covert operator at peace in his compound in the Pacific Northwest, when the past comes back to bite him.

HONOR DUE (Hardcover ISBN: 978-0-9798744-0-6) will be released in early fall 2007 under Big River Press imprint.

"Killing my enemy is work; Loving my friends is pleasure" The Major

This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance of the characters in this novel to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental. You do believe in coincidences, don't you?

In HONOR DUE, After an assassin comes gunning for him, the Major is forced to resume hunting, in the old way. Then his neighbor finds a killing zone in an abandoned cabin, and the Major learns that someone has abducted, tortured and killed his old Montagnard War Brother he'd gotten out of 'Nam as the South fell. Ang's daughter, also abducted, has escaped into the forest. Now the Major's new mission is to track her almost invisible flight, and bring her back from the edge of death.

All the clues point to a politically powerful handler from the Major's undercover years who is determined to eliminate any connections that can bring him down.

The Major, a predator of the highest caliber, has not forgotten the deadly art of hunting human prey. Past blood debts are presented for payment, with interest, for the HONOR DUE. Along the way, romance blooms, and the old warrior finds life is still worth living.

Michael Curtis Ford, National Bestselling Author of The Ten Thousand and The Fall of Rome raves: “A tense thriller painted on a dark palette, suffused with the heavy, cedary incense of the rugged northwest forests. D. H. BROWNs tight plotting and vivid characters continued to haunt me long after I had closed the book.”

HONOR DUE speaks for the soul of our citizen warriors, appealing to readers of both genders interested in the way soldiers view the world. Without glamorizing violence, HONOR DUE offers insights into the warrior code, and the necessity of keeping fang and claw sharp.

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