Book Review "Code 13" by Don Brown





This is a book review on the book, "Code 13" by Don Brown.


      THE U.S. NAVY’S BILLION-DOLLAR CONTRACT FOR THE SALE OF DRONES LANDS TWO NAVY JAG OFFICERS IN THE GUN SIGHTS OF A KILLER.
     Caroline is just getting her feet wet at the prestigious Code 13, but is thankful for at least one familiar face—her old flame, P.J. MacDonald. He loops her into the assignment he is currently working on—the legality of a proposed drone-sharing contract with Homeland Security that would allow the sale of drones for domestic surveillance. The contractor wants a legal opinion clearing the contract for congressional approval. But the mob wants the proposal dead-on-arrival.
     When P.J. is gunned down in cold blood and a second JAG officer is killed, one thing becomes clear: whoever is ordered to write the legal opinion on the drones becomes a target. Which is exactly why Caroline goes to her commanding officer and volunteers to write the legal opinion herself. She is determined to avenge P.J.’s death and trap the killer, even if that means making herself a target.
     It is a deadly game of Russian roulette for the sake of justice, but Caroline is determined to see it through, even if it costs her life.
                                       *************************************
      I was interested in reading this book, as we have just started watching "JAG" via streaming.  I found out this is actually book 2, but it didn't seem to matter that I missed the first one in the series.  I liked the book - it has a lot of action in it, and things I didn't know before - the Constitution Free Zone.
     What I didn't care for, is that it is presumably a "Christian" book, but you really couldn't tell it was Christian.  It is more of a secular book. It has drinking, smoking, adultery (not explicit, but mentioned a few times), and homosexuality.  I know this happens - but I just don't want to read about it in a Christian book.  If you told me this was a secular book, I would give it a 5.  But, as a Christian book, I have to give it a 2.

I received this book free for my honest review.

  1. Thanks for the warning. I, too, strongly disagree with a book bearing the "Christian" label when it doesn't reflect Biblical values.
