Fighting for them as they fight for us
1 Mar 2010
Format:Kindle Edition
This three-fer anthology combines the talents of three well-known and loved authors: Josh Lanyon, Z.A. Maxfield and Laura Baumbach. Each story told is as different as the author writing them is; each story holds a world of worth and not just from the collective message or the contribution to the cause.
Laura Baumbach's Designated Target is my personal favorite of the three. It holds a poignancy that touches the soul. The mood is set in the bleakness of an open door mission food line. A young man's brother is killed in action in Afghanistan and he still struggles with his loss. A soldier believing he was responsible for his death seeks forgiveness and receives so much more as the couple finds comfort and hope together.
Z.A. Maxfield's Jumping Off Places is about a soldier on the cusp of losing his commission, returns home to attend to his dying mother. He relives his past growing up in a small mid-western town in the shadow of his "heroic" father; the man he never knew and the ghost he could never live up to. In his mother and her nurse, he finds forgiveness to give and the grace to receive, and the will to let go.
Josh Lanyon's Until We Meet Once More throws the reader into immediate battle, struggling in the dark and surrounded by the enemy. Friends are close, but might not be in time. The story reunites one-time lovers, their past told in flashbacks; their present in a running battle against time, dangerous and determined enemies and a darken landscape; their future in tentative words and hidden promises.

Fun read

Josh Lanyon bangs another one out- which is sexy (enough), mysterious (enough), and
very readable without being vulgar.
