Communications Officer Sergeant Brian "Hawk" Bledsoe had
gotten the order to stand down and return to base twice
now
and not kill Taliban soldiers. He really does not
understand these orders. Why were they here anyway? Upon
questioning the orders, Hawk learns that the orders were
not sent by his command base. Someone is interrupting the
Special Forces communications and redirecting them. Hawk
is
determined to find out who is doing this and why.
Fekiria Haidary is an Afghan National Army pilot. She has
just completed flight school and is awarded an opportunity
for advanced flight training. She has done this without
the
approval of her family, who believe that women should stay
home, get married and have babies. Fekiria has always been
a rebel.
At the Kandahar Airfield Fekiria is kidnapped at gunpoint
and forced to fly a helicopter for terrorists. Their
intent
is to bomb a building where Hawk is getting a little too
close to finding who is responsible for hijacking his
team's communications. In the process, the Raptor team
takes out the helicopter, but Fekiria ejects herself in
time to escape. Hawk sees her come down and goes after
her.
The two of them have met before and it wasn't on friendly
terms. Can Hawk save her and the children he finds her
with, or will the terrorists get to them first? And are
these terrorists Taliban or Chinese?
Ronie Kendig is a master at weaving several sub-plots
together, toggling back and forth between them
simultaneously, and then bringing them all together at the
end. The action in HAWK is non-stop with suspense at every
turn. There are a multitude of characters in this story,
but the hero and heroine, Hawk and Fekiria, are both the
strong, resilient type. Trouble seems to find them both
very easily. This inspirational thriller is about trying
too hard to prove one's self, about being afraid of
relationships and about having a relationship with God
rather than being religious. Ms. Kendig lets us catch up
on other characters of whom she has told their stories in
previous books in this Quiet Professionals series,
as well
as her Breed Apart series. HAWK is inspirational suspense
at its very best!

the terrorist playing chess with their lives.

glitch on her aircraft forces a weapons launch on a safe
target. And when the deadly bombing separates Brian from

on him to survive a brutal snowstorm.
