Lieutenant Commander Andrew Carlson is a U.S. Navy Seal
who is tired of killing so he falls back on his other
skills, that of an emergency doctor. He is drinking too
much and working his farm trying to just get by when a
nurse arrives in the ER and he takes to her. Lindsey the
new nurse and Andy go out on their first date when Lindsey
steers him into some Middle Eastern princes taking pictures
of important strategic locations. Andy then calls an old
CIA contact and thing start to get even stranger. Now he is
looking at a possible nuclear event and he must figure out
a way to stop it from happening.
THE FARM is a well researched and the author is very
knowledgeable. He is also a former Navy Seal and Emergency
Medical Doctor, so that may explain his knowledge on the
subjects. THE FARM is an exciting story about events that
could happen in today's world. My only problem with the
book is that Charles C. Anderson is so knowledgeable with
the medical stuff that at times it is overwhelming.
THE FARM is
a good exciting read. It starts the series well
and the next book doesn't have all the medical details in
it. Anyone who likes action, adventure and suspense will
enjoy this book and the whole series.
What should a Navy SEAL do when faced with evidence that representatives of the U.S. Government are secretly buying old Soviet tactical nuclear weapoons for purposes other than disarmament? In this thriller, Andy Carlson responds by throwing a monkey wrench into the deal and by resigning from the Navy. Hoping to settle down on his family's Virginia farm and resume his career as an emergency physician, Andy instead finds himself and those he loves the targets of his own governement and a Russian arms dealer. Although a capable warrior and field surgeon, Andy is disallusioned with his country and unprepared for the female operative sent to ensnare him. He's a binge drinker, never comfortable around women when he's sober and scarred by personal losses. Andy's antebellum plantation is a major player in the action, with its network of limestone caves, family treasures, historical surprises, and natural defenses. Andy enlists three unlikely allies in his defense--a pregnant CIA agent, a male descendant of a former slave on the Carlson plantation who shares a common ancestor with Andy, and a teenage Saudi girl. Some of the secrets of the plantation have never been discused in polite company. Some have heretofore been unspeakable. There were good reasons why the Indians, the British, and the Yankees had lost on this same ground in previous battles. But the Carlsons knew who their enemies were in those fights. And tactical nuclear weapons had never been in Farmville before.
