Forged in Honor

I could really visulize the book in my head like a movie. Leonard B. Scott writes with great detail. Though I wasn't thrilled with the ending I still believe this is the best book with that kind of plot.

Joshua Hawkins was eleven years old when his mother remarried and moved to an outland missionary in Burma. He grew and before the death of his parents became a warrior Horseman of the Shan hill people. Since than Josh had returned to the U.S., served in the military during the VietNam period, and retired to care for his daughter. Now the U.S. government desperately needs someone with knowledge of the area of the Shan hill people. And Josh has just been involuntarily volunteered. But unknown to everyone, Josh's 'Shan Brother' is about to be executed, because of his knowledge of a massive influx of drugs into the U.S. from Burma. The same drugs that Josh is supposed to be looking for.Excellent story that runs from Washington, D.C. to Burma, and back.
