Defiance

Written by Don Brown

Narrated by James Adams

From a murder in Paris to a courtroom in California to a terrorist camp in the Gobi Desert, Don Brown’s follow-up to Treason and Hostage plunges into a suspense-filled journey of danger, duty, and hope. The Commander’s Bodyguard is Shannon McGilverry, a crack NCIS agent assigned to protect Navy JAG Officer Zack Brewer. Zack is being hunted by terrorists, stalked by a psychopath, and is working his way through a perilous, politically-charged trial. When another Navy JAG officer is murdered, it’s clear that Zack is in harm’s way. As his bodyguard, Shannon must do more than protect Zack. She also must set aside her growing feelings for the brilliant attorney and investigate rumors that the love of his life, Diane Colcerninan, may still be alive. Zack finds himself in need of his faith more than ever as Navy SEALS launch a daring rescue attempt that has the potential to trigger World War III.

Don Brown

Don Brown is the author of Thunder in the Morning Calm, The Malacca Conspiracy, The Navy Justice Series, and The Black Sea Affair, a submarine thriller that predicted the 2008 shooting war between Russia and Georgia. Don served five years in the U.S. Navy as an officer in the Judge Advocate General's (JAG) Corps, which gave him an exceptional vantage point into both the Navy and the inner workings "inside-the-beltway" as an action officer assigned to the Pentagon. He left active duty in 1992 to pursue private practice, but remained on inactive status through 1999, rising to the rank of Lieutenant Commander. He and his family live in North Carolina, where he pursues his passion for penning novels about the Navy. www.donbrownbooks.com Facebook: Don-Brown  

Reviews for Defiance

[LibbyLintonSellers · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Third in a trilogy called Navy Justice. It portrays what might happen if a radical Islamist terrorist infiltrated the U.S. Navy. Seemed plausible. Well written from a strong Christian worldview

[cbinstead_1 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Exciting third story in the Navy Justice series with Zach Brewer as the lead. But while he is the lead Shannon McKillvrey is the major character, being more than just Zach's bodyguard. Good stuff!

I like the way this author writes and I like the way he thinks. The books are fast-paced and grab and hold my attention, so that it is hard to put down until I have finished. This story is once again all about Navy JAG Officer Zack Brewer. You will go on this "mission" and go from a murder of a lawyer in Paris, to a courtroom debate in California, to the terrorist camp in the Gobi Desert. There will be danger everywhere, a love for and duty to our great country and a hope that right will win out over wrong.Shannon McGilverry, an NCIS agent you would have already met if you are reading this series in order, is assigned to protect Zack Brewer as he is being hunted by terrorist and dealing with a politically charged trial. Shannon will discover that her first report on the death of Diane Colcernian, may be wrong and she just might be alive (once again you have to read book 1 and 2 to fully know about Diane). Plans will be made to try and rescue this young woman who has captured Zack's heart and who has the will to survive and hopefully see him again. Great ending by the way! I see there is another book in the series, so on to book 4!

Just finished Treason and you couldn't pay me to read anything else by this guy. Just awful on many, many, many different levels.

[buffalogr · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

The author was a Navy JAG and can't see past that experience. If he'd just stick to lawyering, this book might be OK. However, he ignores the other Services in operations and JCS/POTUS deliberations, making that part of the book unbelievable. To further exacerbate the irritation, he hired a Brit narrator James Adams. Adams just does not sound USN and the accent grates...I'd believe Royal Navy. The characters fit their roles and the female politician running for President seems so much like, well...Hillary...in her left leaning actions. That the chain of command left Zack twisting in the wind relative to her, is really incomprehensible. The book is quite a fun read even if I do find myself saying "BS" quite often.
