Heath Daniels is still healing from an unexpected attack in
Afghanistan. He suffers post-traumatic stress syndrome, has
traumatic brain injury and has been discharged from his
Green Beret unit and the Army. So has his military war dog,
Trinity. She would not perform for another handler, so they
were reunited. Heath has been summoned to A Breed Apart by
an old friend with whom he served. Others are arriving too
with their dogs. Heath is not sure what is going on here.
He learns that his friend is trying to take ex-military
combat warriors, and their war dogs, and train them for
speaking engagements to promote morale among soldiers and
others in need. Heath's first assignment is back in Hindu
Kush, Afghanistan, where he last served.
Darci Kintz is in Hindu Kush on a geological survey
mission. However, her real purpose is two-fold. She's a
secret agent with the Defense Intelligence Agency,
ferreting out information on village locations for the
Army. When Heath spots her, there is something familiar
about her, but he can't place where he has seen her before.
His charm isn't working well with Darci and at first she
fends off his proposal for lunch. She does finally agree,
but lets him know up front that she is not interested.
Heath lets Darci go her own way, but can't seem to get her
out of his mind.
When the base learns that Darci's survey team has been lost
and a chopper went down at their camp, Heath, Trinity and
his old team are called into action for a special ops.
There's been no communication since the helicopter crashed,
so that is their starting point. After identifying the
dead, Darci and Togue, the equipment guy, are the only ones
not accounted for. Trinity is on the trail right away as
they set out to find those who survived.
The winter weather is grueling and a snowstorm is headed
their way, not to mention the mountainous terrain. Will the
team find Darci in time? No one knows she is special ops
and why it is so important to locate her alive, and Heath
has other reasons to bring her back. He doesn't know there
are Chinese and Russians here with their own agendas and
that Darci is the target of their attack.
TRINITY: MILITARY WAR DOG is another great military
thriller from Ronie Kendig. It's a fast-paced story
that travels the rough terrain through Afghanistan and is
filled with spies and counter-spies. There's more military
brass hanging around in this place than you can count, both
American and Chinese. The pages are also seasoned with
inspirational thoughts from the characters, the only thing
that gets them through these touch situations. With a touch
of romance thrown in for good measure, this is the
beginning of a new series you will not want to miss.
An ex-Green Beret. His war dog. On the greatest mission of
their lives. And probably their last.
A year ago in Afghanistan, Green Beret Heath Daniel’s
career was destroyed.
Along with his faith.
Now he and his military war dog, Trinity, have a chance to
redeem their skills through the A Breed Apart organization.
The job works. But his passion is to be back in the field.
The medical discharge says it can’t happen due to the
traumatic brain injury that forced Heath to the sidelines.
Until. . .
Military intelligence officer Darci Kintz is captured and
the geological survey team she’s covertly embedded with is
killed while secretly tracking the Taliban in the beautiful
but brutal Hindu Kush. It’s clear only one dog can handle
the extreme conditions to save her. And only one man can
handle Trinity.
Time is running out on the greatest—and most dangerous—
mission of their lives.
