Product Description
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.

 Brown is defiant to write a book I don't like yet! August 1, 2010

I'm really loving Brown more and more. I just think this writer is brilliant in actual technique and story lines. Defiance is a great book that unfortunately hits a little too close to reality but I can't fault Brown for that. Great book, pick it up!
Another great read from Don Brown March 19, 2010

Don Brown does it again and keeps readers on the edge of their seats through the last page. The end is awesome! If you are a socialist or statist you'd be better off reading Karl Marx.
 Evangelical subterfuge . . . February 24, 2010
NYOD (Oneida, NY USA)
1 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book, and the series, reflect an intolerance that is the greatest threat to the core constitutional values of unalienable rights and governance by "we the people." It revels in primitive type-casting, vigilantism, and the prejudices expected from homophobic, religious bigotry. It reflects a fear of mental inquiry and knowledge based on scientific method, and of those non-"Christians" who are not of the author's accepted brand.
"But Yale had taught him that there is no God," summarizes the author's anti-intellectualism -- as if atheism is the expected product of "that kind of ejakashun."
At the time, this Kindle offer was free, as are many other "Christian" fiction publications. Three out of the first four free books on Kindle are published by the conservative, "Christian" publisher, Zondervan. Others by the "Christian" publisher Bethany House add to the suspicion that there is evangelical subterfuge and manipulation of the "Kindle Best Sellers."
Very Realistic February 5, 2010
Michael P. Gallagher (Houston, TX)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I thought this book was very realistic, and while it is #3 in its series I enjoyed it more than the first two (and I liked the first two). It weaves a tale of today's issues concerning radical Islamic terrorists and its specific threat to America. The book has a believable plot and conclusion, excellent character development, and doesn't leave you thinking the author is trying to weave in a bunch of b.s. I would compare this author with all of the "big name" authors who are recognized for action thrillers such as Vince Flynn and Lee Child. This book is one of those you just don't want to put down. This certainly changes my previous stereotype of Zondervan fiction! Looking forward to starting #4 soon.
 Brown JAG Trilogy January 12, 2010
azjans (Phoenix, AZ)
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I downloaded the trilogy for my Christmas travel reading. The first book (Treason) is a real page-turner. The second (Hostage) also started out a page-turner but left me less enamored with some incredulous events (ever seen a young JAG prosecutor speaking of a case on CNN [let alone actually wrestling and handling a case from a senior attorney]?), but hey -- literary license and all that. And this is a fascinating story line. The Claxton character was unnecessary and by the third book (Defiance), I felt the "literary license" had turned to right-wing diatribe. Note that Don Brown is published by Zondervan and these are Christian publications. If you are really adverse to religious overtone, this series is not for you.
