 A US Supreme Court Battle over the Death Penalty in the Navy against Islamic Chaplains! June 24, 2008
Kyle Redmon (Palo Alto, CA)
In Don Brown's Hostage, a sizzling sequel to his first novel Treason, we find JAG Officer Zack Brewer in front of the Supreme Court arguing that the death penalty should be applied againt 3 U.S. Navy Chaplains, who are Islamic, who have been convicted of Treason against the United States. From there, Brewer winds up prosecuting a high profile court martial in Israel under the spotlight of the internatioal media with war hinging upon the outcome of the trial. Hostage was every bit as riveting as Don Brown's Treason. This guy Don Brown is really good! A must read.
Tremendous Sequel to Treason! Great Military-Legal Novel June 10, 2008
Jordan Grimes (Virginia Beach, VA)
This novel was a tremendous followup to Brown's opening installment in the Navy Justice Series, Treason. Just as fabulous, and in fact maybe even a little better written. The opening was a little stronger in that we have page turning action from the very beginning. Once again, for lovers of the show JAG or the movie A Few Good Men, this, like Treason was "unputdownable!"
Riveting! June 9, 2008
Hernando Martinez (Honolulu HI)
Like all Don Brown's books, this kept me up late into the night. A unique blend of action, legal drama, and romance, Hostage has all the elements of a big screen box office hit. I recommend reading Brown's opening novel of the Navy Justice Series, Treason, followed by Hostage. Fabulous work.
Nonstop Action -- From Start to Finish May 20, 2008
Jay Torrezano (Los Angeles, CA USA)
Couldn't put it down. I'd get to the edge of one cliff, and then Don Brown would take me to another. The ending was different. Unique and spellbinding.
Imperfect? Perfect! Still Making America Proud February 9, 2008
Wolfe Moffat (Franklinville, NY)
After reading "Treason," I was highly looking forward to taking in installment #2, "Hostage" without much hesitation. That is, until I read what it was about. Then I rolled my eyes! I rolled my eyes because it looked like the perfect thriller, up until that picture perfect ending. Maybe I should have known better, and I know I placed a little too much on my own assumption. I finally took this in just to get it over with, and my thoughts drastically changed.
We once again join Zack Brewer, along with the lovely Diane Colcernian, both wanting to forget the madness in the court martial that made Zack famous. But with great victory for the good guys comes great thirst for revenge with Islamic radicals. And what goes on in the sacred pages of "Hostage" isn't exactly unthinkable in today's day and age. It chills you to the bone. And the case that Zack is prepared to take on as a Navy officer is beyond one or two dead bodies. This is serious stuff! This is terrifying stuff, and it could very well happen. To mess with Israel, you're seriously playing with a fire you can't put out. How high can the stakes possibly get?
Now back to my main concern: perfect ending in the end? I'm not going to answer that, because one person's idea of perfection can always be different from the DAN Brown idea of perfect. I believe that Don Brown continues to make America proud. The other one, Dan Brown, is such a chicken (or he'll have his own answer) that his supposed latest release, "Solomon Key" isn't exactly a latest release anymore! You go to the website of Fantastic Fiction, and "Solomon Key" isn't even mentioned! I don't see that with Don Brown. I can't wait to get my hands on "Defiance" and "Black Sea Affair," and I'm anxious to see what they have to offer!
