    About this ebook

    THE U.S. NAVY’S BILLION-DOLLAR CONTRACT FOR THE SALE OF DRONES LANDS TWO NAVY JAG OFFICERS IN THE GUN SIGHTS OF A KILLER.

    Caroline is just getting her feet wet at the prestigious Code 13, but is thankful for at least one familiar face—her old flame, P.J. MacDonald. He loops her into the assignment he is currently working on—the legality of a proposed drone-sharing contract with Homeland Security that would allow the sale of drones for domestic surveillance. The contractor wants a legal opinion clearing the contract for congressional approval. But the mob wants the proposal dead-on-arrival.

     

    When P.J. is gunned down in cold blood and a second JAG officer is killed, one thing becomes clear: whoever is ordered to write the legal opinion on the drones becomes a target. Which is exactly why Caroline goes to her commanding officer and volunteers to write the legal opinion herself. She is determined to avenge P.J.’s death and trap the killer, even if that means making herself a target.

    It is a deadly game of Russian roulette for the sake of justice, but Caroline is determined to see it through, even if it costs her life.

    Don Brown

    Don Brown is the author of Thunder in the Morning Calm, The Malacca Conspiracy, The Navy Justice Series, and The Black Sea Affair, a submarine thriller that predicted the 2008 shooting war between Russia and Georgia. Don served five years in the U.S. Navy as an officer in the Judge Advocate General's (JAG) Corps, which gave him an exceptional vantage point into both the Navy and the inner workings "inside-the-beltway" as an action officer assigned to the Pentagon. He left active duty in 1992 to pursue private practice, but remained on inactive status through 1999, rising to the rank of Lieutenant Commander. He and his family live in North Carolina, where he pursues his passion for penning novels about the Navy. www.donbrownbooks.com Facebook: Don-Brown

      It’s U.S. Navy tradition that the first entry of the new year in ship logbooks be written in verse. Some sailors angle for the job as a chance to inject a bit of personality – even poetic depth – into a format that otherwise discourages it; others tr

      A billion-dollar drone-sharing contract with crucial, constitutional implications is at the center of a deadly plot against Navy JAG officers in Code 13 by author Don Brown.After I thoroughly enjoyed the first novel in The Navy JAG Series, Detained, there was no question in my mind about going on to read the second. I was keenly aware of particular points of tension in this novel: officers dealing with the hard, personal costs of the service they love and are dedicated to, and corruption within a political system juxtaposed with the honor of a nation and Constitution that system should protect.There seemed to be a lot of repetition in places, with the same descriptions popping up and the same information being repeated in characters' thoughts and conversations a number of times. Some of the drama felt clichéd or overdone, and the scenes and such involving illicit encounters and relationships grew tiresome for me, personally.Still, this is a good read for anyone else who likes military and political thrillers that raise real questions and mix in faith. If this series continues, I plan to continue on with it._________________BookLook Bloggers provided me with a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher for an honest review.

      Title: Code 13 (The Navy Jag Series)Author: Don BrownPages: 400Year: 2016Publisher: ZondervanMy rating is 5+ stars.Sometimes when reading other reviews after I finish the novel myself can be confusing, exasperating or fun. Don Brown’s latest novel for me was par excellence! Don’s personal knowledge and experiences while in the Navy show through each novel as well as his understanding of events of the past or present. In Code 13, expect to become engaged and staying there once you start the book.I admire those who served and serve in the military and I enjoy suspense novels, which are just two of the elements in Code 13. As I read I continued to wonder if how the Pentagon was described in the story was in any way reflective of how the building really is or was. The part of the novel that is central to the book is how a JAG brief will be written in support for or against the use of drones over land 100 miles inside America. I wish I could know what elements of the Constitutional areas in contention in the JAG office actually are real and what elements are not. There were parts of the story that brought a lump in my throat and occasionally I would laugh at how Don had one or two of the characters talk about something.The brief has to deal with the possible ramifications of the 4th Amendment. While that makes for an interesting tidbit, there are also two opposing parties who desire different outcomes of the brief. When I got towards the end of the novel, I was amazed at how it was shaping up to conclude. I never saw the final twist in the plot, which took my breath away!My condolences to the author who was working on the novel when his mother passed away; I love how he dedicates the novel in her memory. If you’re looking for a suspense-filled, blood-pumping, action-filled novel, look no further because here it is! I wonder what the author has up his sleeve for the next JAG thriller.Disclosure of Material Connection: I received one or more of the products or services mentioned above for free in the hope that I would mention it on my blog.
