Leonard B. Scott Bücher

If war may be said to bring out the worst in governments, it frequently brings out the best in people. This is a novel about some of the very best. Some led. Some followed. Some died. Sergeant David Leader of Ranger Team 2-2, the Double Deuce, was a perfectionist who loved his men, his team, and his Army. For a long time, they had been his whole world. Sarah was cold and beautiful. For all her life, she'd been her whole world. She thought she knew it well. Then, in Vietnam, she was overwhelmed by something that completely confused her. People call it love. Major John was the commander of Sierra Company, 75th Infantry Airborne Rangers. Promoted up from the ranks during the Vietnam War, he was the perfect commanding officer. Every man he lost cost him a piece of his soul. Lieutenant Le Be was a North Vietnamese Army Regular. He was also a perfectionist who loved his men, his platoon, and his people. He would sacrifice everything to protect his country. He might have to. He's got a date with the Double Deuce.

SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO TELL WHERE RIGHT ENDS AND WRONG BEGINS. As punishment for putting the truth before the reputation of the Bureau, FBI agents Eli Tanner and Ashley Sutton have been exiled to the backwater of Columbus, Georgia. They are truly a mismatched pair: She is a by-the- book, competent, tough, smart feminist; Tanner is a confident, competent, take-charge, battle-scarred Neanderthal. But their days of action are far from over--especially when Tanner suspects that a "suicide" at Fort Benning is actually murder, leading him and Sutton to uncover a chilling series of killings tied to a betrayal in Cambodia in 1969. A thrilling read for those who like their action hot, SOLEMN DUTY is a roller-coaster ride through a landscape of carnage and death, as Cambodian hit men, the Chinese mafia, and the FBI vie to outdo one another in an ultimate life-or-death climax. . . .
