Sizzling Political Thriller! August 5, 2008
Senator Eleanor Claxton makes the perfect villan. She is scheming, conniving, and will stoop to anything, including murder, to push her liberal agenda and presidential campaign. JAG Officer Zack Brewer is the perfect storm of a hero, caught in an impossible predicament in a no win situation. He is a heartthrob who is every woman's dream. NCIS Special Agent Shannon McGilverry is the perfect female lead. Strong, sexy, yet confident and feminine. Defiance is a fabulous read!
Loved The Female Lead! June 27, 2008
Don Brown's Defiance introduces Shannon McGilverry, a strong, savvy, and sexy crack NCIS Agent who sets out to investigate whether Diane Colcernian is dead or alive. Meanwhile, JAG officer Zack Brewer, the hero of the first two novels in Brown's NAVY JAG Series, who is mourning the loss of his missing girlfriend Colcernian, is caught up in a court-martial turned political trial against Senator Eleanor Claxton, a liberal democrat running for President of the United States. Loved this novel and couldn't put it down!
Spellbinding Political Thriller June 11, 2008
In this novel, a power hungry female U.S. Senator running for President and needing to win the California democrat primary, tries to intervene in a U.S. Navy Court martial for sexual assault, using it as a forum to trumpet her call for "hate crimes" legislation in the military. From that, all the elements of classical Greek drama come into play. Conspiracy. Murder. Power struggles. Hi stakes legal maneuvering, and in the end, action by the U.S. Navy to try and rescue one of its own. This novel is powerful in every sense of the word.
A Closing That Gave Me Goosebumps! June 4, 2008
This novel made me appreciate the heroic efforts of our military. The ending of this book was glorious, gave me goosebumps, made me want to cry and sing "I'm proud to be an American!"
Great Political-Military Thriller May 25, 2008
A fascinating political and military thriller that could be ripped off today's headlines. Murder, suspense, rescue, romance, all these topics are woven throught Defiance. I really love how Don Brown isn't shy abotut tackling poliltically incorrect storylines in his novels.
Defiance deals with the explosive topic of gays in the military and proposed "hate crimes," which a certain presidential candidate, Senator Eleanor Claxton, is trying to force the military to adopt.
I found it interesting how Senator Claxton bears a striking resemblance to a certain real-life U.S. Senator who badly wants to be president, and who might very well adopt some of the positions that Claxton adopts.
Don Brown does a fabulous job of character development of his villans and heros and I was glad to see super-hero JAG Officer Zack Brewer play such a prominent role in the storyline. The close of the book made me want to cry for joy. I finished with a renewed appreciation for our U.S. Navy, and my only complaint is that I didn't want the book to end.
