The Protector’s Promise by Tom Bourguillon
A fun and quick read, there are obvious parallels with the movie “The Bodyguard” with Whitney Houston, but DeAndre is really a more interesting character than the Kevin Costner’s bodyguard, who’s the strong, silent type. […]
Duty and Betrayal: The SS Brotherhood and the NASA Connection by Toby Oliver
The cover and subtitle of the novel are a bit misleading, as they give the appearance of a non-fiction work, when this is […]
