    About this ebook

    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.

      Just finished Treason and you couldn't pay me to read anything else by this guy. Just awful on many, many, many different levels.
    • 2/5
      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.
    • 4/5
      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!
