Fiction. Thriller. HTML:Word of Honor meets A Few Good Men in a stunning thriller that pits the Green Berets, C.I.A., and White House against a top Army lawyer in an Investigation that could put the U.S. military on trial.
A battalion of Serbs has been senselessly murdered in Kosovo and the Green Berets stand accused. Now, Major Sean Drummond, a top Army lawyer, is assigned to investigate this unspeakable atrocity.

Soon a reporter is found dead, Drummond suspects there's a traitor on his team, and everyone from the CIA to the president may be involved in a cover-up that could threaten the stability of the most powerful nation in theworld.… (more)

Not your run of the mill hero, the protagonist battles using his wits rather than brawn. Made for very entertaining and stimulating reading. ( )

Really enjoyed this book. I really enjoyed the personally of the main character and the mystery which kept me engaged. Will be checking out other BH books. ( )

Sean Drummond is a character that I probably would not like if I had to be around him, but he is a great character to read. This book had great plot, character development and dialog, and humor as well as some very serious questions to ponder. It held my interest from the beginning--I didn't feel there was a word wasted in it. I'll be checking out the next book in the series. ( )

I can't review this book just yet even though I've had it for a couple of weeks now. It wouldn't be fair to give it a rating. But I just couldn't get into it and it seemed to start slow; maybe I wasn't in the right mindset. I tried a couple of times but now it's overdue at the library. I really like the subject matter and Mr. Haig seems promising as a writer. I will try again some other time; or maybe I will try another of his books.
