Solemn Duty

Having read all Leonard B. Scott's military novels I found his transition to writing about civilian life and the FBI interesting. Although the book does have a military backdrop entry Scott's writing style and the story he is telling quickly has you engrossed. His character development in this books is not as profound as in some of his others yet the story is good. His knowledge of the places he writes about and the apparent research he did to write this book make it stand up as a good book but he has written better ones. He is still easy to read however and once you read any one of his books you want to read them all. A Scott fan.

A good story in the Scott tradition but not up to his earlier work.

Solem Duty is another winner for Leonard Scott fans. Althought the characters in ``Duty'' are not as memorable as those in Charlie Mike, The Last Run and Expendables, they are a real as the people next door. Scott's plot combination of an FBI agent bound by honor and the turth instead of politics, a partner with a feminist chip on her shoulder, a conspiracy that targets an aging Special Forces team with current events put him in the same class as Larry Bond, Steven Coonts and Dale Brown. You won't be disappointed, and if it's your first Leonard B. Scott book get ready to backtrack to his earlier books
