Olivia lives in a small town, the kind where everyone knows everyone else. She has spent her life following in her grandmother's footsteps as a healer, and is well known and much appreciated. Then a stranger comes to town- a bona fide doctor who decides that he wants nothing to do with Olivia. But when Doctor Gray hurts his hand and must accept Olivia's help, the sheriff decides that they are going to work together until the Doc is healed.  Circumstances are turned upside-down when the local dressmaker is found dead and Doctor Gray insists on an autopsy, revealing that she was murdered, and making the townsfolk question just how well they know each other.  This satisfying story focuses on searching for God, learning to trust Him against all odds, and even finding love in the face of adversity.

Lieutenant Zack Brewer is one of the Navy’s finest JAG officers.  He is also a Christian.  Diane Colcernian is also one of the Navy’s finest JAG officers, and she happens to be Zack’s fiercest opponent in the courtroom.  In this exciting courtroom drama we get to follow the burgeoning careers of these two young lawyers.  There’s plenty of action to go around too, not just in the courtroom.  A group of well-funded Muslim terrorists are trying to infiltrate the military to destroy it from the inside out.  The fate of our nation, and indeed the world, is hanging in the balance, and it’s up to Zack and Diane to get the victory.  I like the way Don Brown develops the characters in this book; we get to delve into each one and see what makes them who they are.  I also like the way he develops the “bad guys” - they truly are bad!  Those of you who like courtroom scenes will not be disappointed, plus you will get an insight into the workings of the Navy’s JAG.  Don Brown, being a former JAG officer, lends credence to the courtroom scenes.  One other thing I like about this book is the way the author paints the setting, you feel like you’re really there.  If you enjoy courtroom dramas with some action and romance thrown in, then you’ll love Treason by Don Brown!

In this second book of “The Navy Justice Series” Don Brown delves even deeper into the frightening world of terrorism.  Picking up where the last book “Treason” left off, this story is full of fast paced action, suspense, courtroom scenes, and absolutely heart-rending drama!  We read about how Zack Brewer and Diane Colcernian continue to get close to each other, then suddenly something happens in the Middle-East! An attack, and there are ramifications, Zack is called back into action once again.  Meanwhile, Diane is kidnapped and an ultimatum is issued.  Zack has to choose between the woman he loves and millions of innocent lives…  Or could there be another way out of this situation?  We are introduced in this book to Wendy Poole, a JAG lawyer who is both gutsy and clever.  She is assigned to help Zack prosecute the case. Once again, I believe that Don did an excellent job of weaving the action with the romance and describing the characters and the scenes.  He is capable of obtaining all sorts of emotional responses from his readers, from fear to anger to laughter.  This book is a real rollercoaster ride! You’ll have to read it to find out just exactly how Zack and Diane extricate themselves from this one!
