“Don't read HONOR DEFENDED before you go to bed! Start in the morning because once you crack that cover you're going to be hooked! Read in bed and your night is gone before you know it!

“This is a page turning thrill ride. Set in the great Northwest. D. H. BROWN paints with his writing a scene of both rugged beauty, and hard hitting action. Loaded with everything a thriller should be this book sets the mark on adveture.

“A must read for those hungry for a real adventure story!”

THE MAJOR IS BACK, AND HE BROUGHT REINFORCEMENTS!

“Exciting, gripping, and well-written, [HONOR DEFENDED] is a keeper for Vietnam vets, special forces operators, or those that love a good action narrative told in first person. Very highly recommended.”

R. Ballister, author, God Does Have A Sense of Humor

HONOR DEFENDED... GOING FOR THE GOLD IN A MAJOR WAY!!!

“If D.H.BROWN's vanguard novel, HONOR DUE, was a silver-medal-winner from the Military Writers, then they had best be giving some serious consideration to awarding a gold medal for the follow-up story, HONOR DEFENDED. If it isn't deserved, then I will eat my greasy, old, submarine ball cap.”

AN ACTION-PACKED THRILL RIDE FROM COVER TO COVER

“Does one have to be an active member of the military to fight the war on terror? HONOR DEFENDED is another novel in D.H.BROWN's Citizen Warrior series following the discharged Major Westfall as he returns home. When a close friend meets a gruesome end and the friend's wife gone missing, Major Westfall isn't going to let his civilian life prevent him from getting to the heart of the matter. An action-packed thrill ride from cover to cover.”

Midwest Book Review

BETTER THAN THE FIRST

“Again, once I started to read [HONOR DEFENDED], I had to keep reading because I thought that I would miss an important detail that lead into the next chapter, missing out on some of the action. This is an outstanding mystery novel that has to be read though & through. Then read again to find the parts you missed the first time.

Thank you Mr. Brown for your great talent of suspenseful & creative writing. When is the next book due?”

John C. Fischer, Special Forces Vietnam

WHAT IF THE TERRORISTS BROUGHT THEIR WAR TO THE U.S. SOIL

“[HONOR DEFENDED] is an engrossing story. The characters and the story are true and believable. This is a story more about friendship and family than it is about war and battles. This book holds a high recommendation from this reviewer.”

Robert Medak - AllBook Reviews

YOU GOTTA LOVE THE MAJOR!

“HONOR DEFENDED, the second book in the Citizen Warrior series by D.H.BROWN is not only just as exciting an adventure as the first book, Honor Due; but, in many ways, it more effectively illustrates the power of citizen warriors!

Readers, if you like action and adventure, have a love for the USA, and enjoy great characterization of our citizens, then you’re already behind. I advise you to get HONOR DUE and this book, HONOR DEFENDED at the same time and spend a long weekend with The Major—you gotta love him!”

G. A. Bixler--IP Book Reviewer

THE MAJOR IS BACK!

“D.H.BROWN penned an incredible breathtaking adventure as his Masterpiece becomes a tribute to Vietnam vets. HONOR DEFENDED is as compelling as Steven Spielberg's "SAVING PRIVATE RYAN" with Tom Hanks!”

Geraldine Ahearn AUTHOR GERI AHEARN'S BOOK REVIEWS

“It is indeed rare when a story can lift you up and at the same time make you think and feel somewhat sad.

In his new work D. H. BROWN accomplishes this feat with ease and grace. HONOR DUE is a testimony to the good in man that comes from terrible circumstances.

Don't think that the easy way in which the author paints his tale takes away from a riveting and ever so intense story. Laced with rich detail that brings the story right to your front door, HONOR DUE will set you on the edge of your seat.

The characters are believable and deep. Told in first person this book lays human nature out for the reader to see in it's pure raw and naked best and worst.

It is hard to put a genre label on HONOR DUE. It is the best of most of them. It is not a war story, but it is. It is not action adventure, yet you will not be able to stop reading. It is not a love story, yet the emotions are heavy. I gave up attempting to apply a genre and just tell you what it is: a great read for anyone who enjoys a well-written story.”

“MACK BOLAN FANS WILL LOVE THIS BOOK.

Some secrets age well, others tend fester. The good Major has retired, but some of his secrets have not. They come to visit the Major in his secluded Northwest forest home--armed to the teeth--and stay to feed the trees. All of which proves the old adage, "Two men can always keep a secret if one of them is dead."

This is the best debut novel I have read in some time. The characters are solid and the scenes are well set. Though occasionally predictable, the plot (I would like to have seen the author's take on the cops finding the body of the old man in the Major's freezer while he was sleeping with the old man's daughter) holds the reader's attention and satisfies the needs of the arc of the characters.

Old snake-eaters and old snakes have one thing in common; they are cunning and deadly. I look forward to my next visit with the Major in HONOR DEFENDED.”

Robert E Bailey
Author of Dead Bang

“A true craftsman at the top of his trade, D. H. Brown shows once a warrior, always a warrior. In “Honor Due” he takes you on a ride with more twists and turns than a winding mountain road! An excellent read and the psychological makeup of his characters is raw human nature, kill or be killed—with love thrown in for complexity.”

“D. H. BROWN in his book, 'HONOR DUE', it is very clear that one man is not inclined to flight when cornered; the Major. He will fight at the drop of a hat, even if he has to knock it from someone's head, and only considers flight, if it helps him live to fight another day. This is an exciting book, filled with heart-pounding suspense, non-stopping action, passionate love and blinding anger. Strongly recommended for those who wonder of the thoughts in a combat veteran's mind! Readers beware!”

“I enjoyed the hell out of chapter 1 [of HONOR DUE]. You have (or should I say your narrator has?) a fluid, unique, and utterly convincing voice... [it] hit me extremely strongly, [and] the promise of plot intensity, violence, intrigue, etc. also drew me in.”

“Call me David. I am really enjoying this manuscript. It is a tour de force in the well developed voice... [which] is so strong that it carries this story ahead of the other elements, which are good. You have nailed this character [The Major]. My personal reaction is that you have a terrific ability and this story is a real grabber for a certain type of reader. I think you're a very gifted writer.”

“D. H. BROWN has written a pulse-pounding story with a strong unique voice, an unforgettable character, and a mesmerizingly clever plot.”

“I did it all in one sitting, which tells you something:  I thought it was terrific!  The Northwest noir setting, the combination of high-tech and mossy rusticity, the pacing and the measured violence--it was all quite captivating.

“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.”

“Lee Child--watch out!  HONOR DUE is an exciting, interesting, and informative read that appeals even to a dove like me.  It's about time we got a reality check on the warrior's mind.  Great first book.”

“HONOR DUE is a clever, scintillating mystery which engrossed me from the moment I picked it up.  The characters are well drawn, and the often tender and moving writing, hooks the reader in suspense.  The book is recommended for lovers of mystery, those who enjoy good writing, and people who are simply looking for a good read.”

“HONOR DUE.  VERY, VERY, WELL DONE. BRILLIANT.  I AM VERY PLEASED.  D. H. BROWN'S newly-created fictional character is both original, and commanding.  The author's knowledge and description of the terrain is well presented and is as tough and dramatic as the story.”

Dave Norman

“About HONOR DUE:  Forgive me, but all my earlier comments around critiquing your novel came from a misapprehension.  I thought I would be struggling through a cobbled-together manuscript, the work of a struggling beginner.  You’ve disabused me of all that nonsense!  Your work is that of an experienced professional.  For me there’s not much not to like in your HONOR DUE.”

“One of the things I thoroughly enjoy is being the first to read a newly completed book by an author with whom I've worked. So, in the midst of cleaning house this morning, I'm stopping to rest and read chapters from the second book in The Citizen Warrior Series, HONOR DEFENDED, by D. H. BROWN.

“As with HONOR DUE, the second is already proving to be an exciting fast-paced action thriller. I'm not quite sure how he does that... because his style of writing is first person and his dialogue sounds like you're overhearing a conversation between some "good ole boys" who're just passing the time of day. Yet he's pulling you into his story and the action that's going hot and heavy! You just got to admire that kind of talent!”
