About this ebook
Call to Duty is a novel of epic scope and breathtaking adventure that races at mach speed between two deadly wars -- one waged five decades ago against a madman with dreams of world domination, the other to be fought tomorrow against well-armed dealers in poison and death. For there are times that call for swift, decisive action -- as unforeseen global events threaten to shatter an uncertain peace. There are times that test the mettle of even the most courageous of men and women -- as four young Americans taken captive by a power-hungry Asian drug lord. And now, a beleaguered Commander-in-Chief -- beset upon by internal political turmoil and terrifying international intrigues -- must find guidance and strength in his own heroic past. Then he must act.
For these are certain times.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I must confess that I have never read the blog by this author, nor have I read any other works published by her. Upon saying that I have to admit that I had a blast reading her book and wound up sharing it with my spouse. I realize that this book is not for everyone and can be seen as a bit intense with the foul language. However, I would argue that is what gave the book its character and made the author’s experiences more believable. Being a parent to three children who are all on the ADHD spectrum sometimes makes us feel isolated and very frustrated. It is nice to see that others secretly share those hidden feelings that we are not going to utter out loud. Like the author, my kids are also the loud and hyper children that seem to get into everything. I seem to be the one parent that is always NOT bragging about how special my kids are today. I am just grateful they are not trying to get into something or fighting with one another again. The author has a unique way of writing, which was a little refreshing for me. I found it fun and very easy to read. The constant need to refer to poop was a little much, but I get it. If you are a parent of a hyper kid like me than you will love the book. I think most parents would enjoy this book. However, if you are someone who is easily offended, than you might want to skip this one. There is a lot of vulgar references and cursing in the story. It fits just fine, but some people might not like it. I would recommend this book in a heartbeat to a dozen other people that I know. I think that many people would relate to it.
