HONOR DUE is a gripping story of an ex- Special Forces vet who retires from the life of politically orchestrated killings and retreats to a life of peaceful solitude in the Pacific Northwest... until, hunted by ex-colleagues from Special Operations and Homeland Security, the Major, our protagonist, finds the gruesome memories coming to life, from his war shattered past.

The instinct for survival takes precedence and soon a mysterious plot bridging the past to the present, starts to unravel. The Major's new assignment is to ensure his own as well his Rhade family's survival while giving the fallen Warriors, the 'honor due'.

It is a well written thriller, the mere tone of which is enough to raise the hair on your back. The casual narration of repugnant killings, gives the book an eerie quality. The electronic wizardry, the web of security firewalls and high tech computer jargon are enough to make Mr. Bond cringe with envy. The graphic descriptions are vivid engaging all the six senses, definitely tickling the taste buds and fanning one's appetite; however, in some parts of the narrative, the repetitive details of routine chores, tend to drag somewhat.

Apart from telling a great story, the book also makes a serious and decisive statement about the ethics and the code of honor of a true Soldier; about the 'War on Terror' and how it is manipulated as a pretense for mysterious political contract killings on domestic soil.
