** "A wonderful blend of everything—mystery, paramilitary-style action, romance, family saga. Not a grab-bag of ingredients carelessly tossed together, but magnificent strands woven together into intricate, mutually supporting patterns." J Yendor ** The two halves of his world are about to collide… Captain Charles Ellandun lives in two worlds. With NATO’s Rapid Response team, he rescues embassies in trouble and takes drinking water to villages shattered by earthquakes. Between assignments, he stays with his Aunt Edith in Boston, where she sponsors art shows at the local gallery. It’s all very civilized and satisfying, with occasional bursts of mayhem and violence as seasoning. But then the war savages his unit—and him. It implants a ferocious, repeating memory that he can’t shake. Then someone murders Aunt Edith. And then someone tries to run him over with a Suburban. Unless he wants to be the next one dead, he must figure out why she is. Like it or not, Charles must dig into her past and haul it into his present. Even if it costs him the stability he’s fought so hard to achieve. Even if it costs him his life. ** "Charles ... reminded me of a few vets ... at the VA Medical Center... Grey has a unique way of ... taking you from present time to days gone by each time giving you something more... Charles even with war torn memories delivered it in the end. These guys are often forgotten or abused in many books like this." Logic101 ** ** "Good story." gayle ury **

Hi, I’m Gunnar Grey. I write books. I’m a historian, political junkie, target shooter, and retired adventurer and equestrian. I read avidly and post reviews or at least ratings for most of the books I read. Occasionally my poor husband surfaces from beneath a pile of paperbacks, gasping for air… but I shouldn’t bore you with personal issues. I live in Humble, Texas, just north of Houston, with four parakeets, the aforementioned husband (who’s even more entertaining than the birds), an orange betta fish with no manners, a fig tree, the lawn from the bad place, three armloads of potted plants, and a coffee maker that’s likely the most important item we own.
