Ronie Kendig books rope me in and hold me hostage. Under the light of the interrogation lamps, I get quite an education on special ops and the flaws of the human condition. But don’t think it’s an unpleasant experience.

Teams of soldiers, honorable, chivalrous, and quirky, (yet still deeply flawed) come to my rescue every time. I love that.

And there’s this: Every time I finish one of her books, I’ve seen the hand of God at work.

Trinity: Military War Dog, the  first novel in Ronie’s A Breed Apart series offers even more. Because at the heart of the intrigue and espionage is the story of a hurting former Green Beret and his loyal MWD (Military Working Dog).

I’ll tell you, Trinity, with her rippling black and ginger coat and inquisitive amber eyes, is the heart and soul of the story. She’s fiercely loyal, aggressively protective, and doggishly intuitive. There’s no point in hiding it.

I fell for her. I love her. And–she made me love my dog even more. (Although Lucy is nowhere near as amazing.)

The rest of the story commandeered my time and pulled me along on a search for redemption. I followed Heath “Ghost” Daniels deep into the icy wilderness of the Hindu Kush along the Chinese/Afghani border. Let me tell you, it was a bumpy, dangerous, heart-stopping trek.

Good thing Trinity and Ghost were there.

It’s a book I’ll read again.
