Code 13

By: Don Brown

Narrated by: Kate Udall

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.

Good storyline

Don Brown is a good storyteller, keeps things moving along without leaving you wonder what happened between points A & B. I appreciate his dedication to authoring clean reads that aren’t Pollyanna-ish. Scenarios are believable (for fiction) and characters are interesting. Enjoying his books very much. The narrator on this title is quite talented. Good voice range!

Sooooo bad

Really ridiculous story and terrible writing. So many parts were so slow and uninteresting. The end was so obvious.
