What
kind of adventure grabs your attention?
Is it books with love, battles, relationships, animals, friends, military
or nonmilitary? This latest novel by Ronnie
Kendig is a riveting page-turner that keeps you going literally until the last
page! There are intricately woven
threads of clues that include all the above that might fool the reader into
thinking he/she knows how the ending is going to play out. An author who writes stories like this is
definitely one to follow!
Heath is
in the Green Berets and is the handler of the MWD named Trinity. She isn’t treated as a pet but rather what she
is, a part of the military. The many
tasks, assignments, and training form a bond between Trinity and Heath. The opening pages introduce us to the
characters closing in on an enemy. What
happens next changes the course of the lives of the whole spec-op unit. As you read Trinity Military War Dog, a
lot of information is packed in about war dogs and the service they have had as
well as continue to provide. At the end
of the book, readers are told what sparked the author to use her gift for
storytelling to shed light on the history of war dogs.
Then,
we are introduced to a whole variety of characters that may or may not be what
they appear to be. Some of them come
from British intelligence, the Chinese government, and even the Russian
military. All are somehow tied to each
other in the cold months in Afghanistan.
Russia is loosely tied into a secret with the Chinese to detonate bombs
that are meant to throw confusion into locating them as the finger-pointing
begins as to who are the real traitors.
Darci (or
is it Jai?) has gone undercover and infiltrated the foreign government at the
highest level possible. Now, with
soldiers after her, she runs into someone who just might love the “real” her. With all her might, she forces away the love
interest to focus on her very difficult and most demanding assignment yet. When she is at the lowest point in her life,
questions about God smack her full in the face.
Now with so many lives, including her own, hanging in the balance will
she return to the God her mother lost her life over?
I could
share much more about the story and the various themes that are highlighted
here, but that would ruin your enjoyment.
It is a wonderful and fun work of fiction to read that kept me on the
edge until I read all the way to the end!
Grab a copy, hold on to your hat, and enjoy the ride!
