I write about what I know. Writing is what keeps me sane. At least my definition of sane and that is the only one that counts.

HONOR DUE

Reviews:
Mary Menzel, AllTheseBooks.com: “With clear, crisp details and riveting action, D.H. Brown has penned a compelling novel that gives us a glimpse inside the mind and heart of a Warrior. Through the character of Major we see the cold, calculating killer who is always vigilant and prepared to be defensive. We also are allowed to look deep inside to see the caring and committed man who would go to any lengths for those he loves and respects. This book transcends the usual hype and hollowness of other military novels because it is written simply and from the heart…. the heart of a real Warrior.”

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.”

“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.
