Product Description
JD Koepke and Carlos Herrera gave their plot of revengea lot of thought and planning. Twenty years in the MarineCorp special forces group prepared them for every kind ofdirty fighting except political warfare-the dirtiest of all. When your enemy sits in the highest office in the country, you have to adapt your tactics to the new jungle. Manymight question the outcome. You could say it waspremeditated and cold-blooded, and you could say it wasthe wrong thing to do. The "wrong" thing to do...? What would you say if you say if the woman you loved weremurdered in cold blood and for no good reason? What would you do if you knew who ordered the killing? What would you do if you felt that the guilty person would be allowed to go free? Maybe you would do the same thing JD did. Maybe you would even think of a better way, butfor JD, there was "No Other Way".

Good story, poorly told.

While the story is good, it is presented without feeling. The narration and dialogue, even the sex, have little emotion, just detached description. This reader didn't get involved in the story. It seemed like reading a long newspaper article instead of a good tale.There are too many characters introduced too quickly. The author never gets around to developing the characters to the extent that the reader understands them or cares about them. None of the characters really came alive in the story. Even the main character, J.D., almost disappears the last half of the book when the main events are happening. Many of the characters are too similar: they think the same and speak the same slang. Mostly the men play golf and have little depth and the women "do their thing". It seems as if the author doesn't have much understanding or respect for the women. They are referred to as assets and admired for their beauty. There are some interesting facts presented about Washington D.C., New Jersey and Salt Lake City. There are some very disturbing and important observations about how our government works.

The book was easy to follow and well laid out. I especially liked how the author flowed into the biographies of his characters. It ended too soon! I hope there'll be a JD Koepke sequel.

This is a great book for a first-time author. Sex scandals with White House staff and California politicians....if you don't watch out, you'll be checking CNN to see if the story is getting updated. I try to read a lot of books by unknown writers. Very few have held my attention like this.

I couldn't put it down! The story flowed easily and kept me turning the pages to find out what would happen next. I especially liked the strong women characters in the story. I plan to recommend this to all of my friends. As a new author, Don J. Mitchell has a great future. Keep the stories coming!

Extraordinary first time work by a new author. Attention to detail is particularly noteworthy. Each time you think you have it figured out - SURPRISE!
