Publisher Description
Ripped from today's headlines, Brian Haig's new novel finds Army lawyer Sean Drummond caught between duty to Washington's elite and the soldiers in Iraq. Dispatched to investigate the suicide of one of DCs most influential defense officials, an ardent, early supporter of the war in Iraq, Drummond and his female partner find themselves in the middle of a tug-of-war between Washington's most influential power brokers and his own personal allegiance to the soldiers dying overseas. What he uncovers are the secrets that led to the war, secrets that once exposed would destroy public support and undermine the presidency. Now, Drummond faces the greatest moral quandary of his life: What is the true meaning of patriotism?

"Listening on audiocassette. A story about the CIA, the Army, the war in Iraq, how Saudi Arabia is involved, and the decisions made concerning what is to be covered up is confusing at times. It's mind-boggling to consider what must go on behind the scenes in espionage. "
— Diane (4 out of 5 stars)

" I enjoy Sean Drummond and the book was enjoyable....good plot twists. a little descriptive in some situations....I guess not all readers know much history. "
— Laura, 12/16/2013 -
" I love the cynical observations in this one. It would have been funny if it wasn't so sad. "
— Karate1kid, 12/12/2013 -
" This is about the 4th book in the series I've read and I may be getting tired of the style. The plot wasn't too bad and the action OK. However, nothing special. "
— Derk, 11/29/2013 -
" I liked his other book, The Kingmaker, however, this one is slow and boring and a had to stop reading 1/3 into the book. Everytime I picked up the book, I read 3 pages and couldn't go on. "
— Ruth, 11/25/2013 -
" Haig's best book yet. Set in Iraq, it mixes his usual tongue-in-cheek main character Drummond with gravity and seriousness that does not occur in his other books. Very enjoyable, as well as though-provoking. "
— Mike, 11/18/2013 -
" Very good - not excellent - but well worth reading "
— Roger, 10/30/2013 -
" Excellent author. "
— Anne, 2/13/2013 -
" I'm listening to this in the car and hating the narrator. Normally Brian Haig's books are read by Scott Brick, who is fabulous & really imparts life to the Sean Drummond character. I'm not loving this book, perhaps if I read the 'book' version it would be better. "
— Maggie, 11/2/2012 -
" Sean Drummond is thrown into an impossible situation with far reaching social and political implications which he smashes through with reckless abandon and sarcastic comments. This does not dissapoint. "
— Pete, 10/30/2012 -
" Anything by Haig is wonderful. Very good cliffhanger suspense mysteries. Like the best of Grisham. "
— Ruth, 10/22/2012 -
" Takes a while to get into,but definitely worth the wait. Great book. Has wonderful theories about the Iraq war. "
— Walter, 7/8/2012 -
" I love the dialogue of Sean Drummond, the lawyer who is the main character in these books. He is sarcastic and very funny! "
— Cindy, 4/8/2012 -
" Drama, espionage, with a lace of humor. That is why I enjoy reading Haig. Look carefully for the clues to follow the twists and turns. "
— Wendy, 12/8/2011 -
" A little slow at the start but becomes captivating about a third of the way in. Good plot, some twists, but sort of predictable in the end. Altogether, entertaining. "
— Charley, 5/27/2011 -
" The action lagged a bit in the middle, or more accurately I didn't foresee any kind of resolution by then. Some of the descriptions of gov't agencies and functions could have been streamlined. The ending was pretty fantastic and explained everything very well. "
— Ala, 4/17/2011 -

" Takes a while to get into,but definitely worth the wait. Great book. Has wonderful theories about the Iraq war. "
— Walter, 1/2/2011 -
" only about 1/2 through but another great character. The author seems to have a great background in military but that doesn't dominate a strong story line with a fun leading man. I plan to see what else he's written too! "
