Author Looks To Inherit Lee Child's Reacher Legacy With Fast-Paced Thriller Set In Mist Shrouded Northwest

With his first novel HONOR DUE, D. H. BROWN delves into the life of the Major whose past has come back to bite him as he follows a trail that leads far beyond murder, into the darkest corners of men's hearts. End Quote

(1888PressRelease) October 24, 2007 - Clallam Bay, WA -- In HONOR DUE, the Major is an ex-Special Forces 'Nam Vet who worked covertly until by the 90's, diabetic and bone-tired of the life, knowing his handlers weren't taking terrorism seriously, he walked away into the Pacific Northwest and lost himself.

As a young SpecOps shark puts him in the crosshairs, the Major is forced to resume hunting in the old way. Then he finds his old Montagnard War Brother, tortured and killed, and his friend's daughter hiding in his forest. The Major's new mission is to unearth what happened 35 years ago, as South Vietnam was falling, that has triggered the current pursuit, and take the vengeance owed his fallen brother and family.

Michael Curtis Ford, National Bestselling Author of The Ten Thousand and The Fall of Rome raves: "A tense thriller painted on a dark palette, suffused with the heavy, cedary incense of the rugged northwest forests. D. H. BROWN's tight plotting and vivid characters continued to haunt me long after I had closed the book."

HONOR DUE speaks for the soul of our citizen warriors, appealing to readers of both genders interested in the way soldiers view the world. Without glamorizing violence, HONOR DUE offers insights into the warrior's code, and the necessity of keeping fang and claw sharp.

"D. H. BROWN has written a pulse-pounding story with a strong unique voice, an unforgettable character, and a mesmerizingly clever plot." Writes David H. Dun, National Bestselling Author of Necessary Evil and The Black Silent.

Publisher's Weekly recently reported the action/thriller/conspiracy subgenre alive and well and booksellers are asking for more.
