"The Way of the Brave" by Susan May Warren

About the Book  


Former pararescue jumper Orion Starr is haunted by the memory of a rescue gone wrong. He may be living alone in Alaska now, but the pain of his failure--and his injuries--has followed him there from Afghanistan. He has no desire to join Hamilton Jones's elite rescue team, but he also can't shirk his duty when the call comes in to rescue three lost climbers on Denali.

Former CIA profiler and psychiatrist Jenny Calhoun's yearly extreme challenge with her best friends is her only escape from the guilt that has sunk its claws into her. As a consultant during a top-secret mission to root out the Taliban, she green-lighted an operation that ended in ambush and lives lost. When her cathartic climb on Denali turns deadly, she'll be forced to trust her life and the lives of her friends to the most dangerous of heroes--the man she nearly killed.

Her skills and his experience are exactly what's needed to prevent another tragedy--but in order to truly set Orion free from his painful past, Jenny will have to reveal hers. They'll have to put their wounds behind them to survive, but at what cost?

Leap into action with this high-octane, breakneck new series from bestselling author Susan May Warren.


My Thoughts

When I finished "The Way of the Brave", I just sat and stared into space in a bit of daze while I came back to the reality of life around me. The book caught me up in an avalanche of adventure and emotion. The story hit the ground running and never let up all the way through to the end. The characters are realistically flawed and relatable. I did not want to put the book down and read it mostly in one day. There is a great spiritual faith thread through the book and many good biblical principles are shared. This book (and the series) is interwoven with the Marshalls of Montana series, so some characters and events are shared. I look forward to reading the other books in the series.
