Content Rating: All Ages
William Hudson Bowman III was thirteen, and he lived in North Dakota. His friends and family called him Trey. His dad was William Hudson Bowman Jr., age 35, 6'2" tall, and an Army Captain in the Army Special Forces Operational Detachment Alphas (ODAs). He was on alert or deployed most of the year. He only made it home once or twice a year for a month's leave. His mom was Kay Whitehurst Bowman, age 32, and 5'11" tall. They lived on Army bases until he was ten, then moved in with his mom's parents to be closer to family and friends.
Trey's father's parents died in a car accident ten years ago. His mom's parents were Robert and Kathern Whitehurst. Robert Whitehurst was a US Senator and visited on weekends. When he was home, or the Senate was in recess, his grandfather was campaigning and attending fundraising events and dinners. That left Trey, his mother, and his grandmother alone most of the time. They lived in a 6500 square foot two-story house with seven bedrooms, horses, and a stable on the estate. The estate was 250 acres and backed up to a national forest, so they were pretty isolated.

I could not put it down
Reviewed it on August 15, 2025
I could not put it down even with - missing words that changed meaning from what the context shows the author meant. - Many, Many paragraphs of hero getting up in the morning doing karate, weights, etc. You look for differences in routine and I did not notice a difference in this once. So why spell it out over the two years of the story again and again with a whole paragraph. A simple "After he performed his normal morning routines." would be better. When he does something different spell it out with the reason why. The morning rides with his horse show a variation that indicate how things are going for him but the normal 'exercise' routine is something that you start to skip when you come to it. Now, I am look forward to the next one and looking at other stories by AWTM so the story over shadows the problems.ishbelmairi
Much, much better than the previous books.

Still the same plot as all his other books but I do have to admit I enjoy them, especially this one. Still a few mistakes, words missing or two tenses in the one sentence, but he has, obviously obtained a really good editor. it is enjoyable and fun even though you know what is coming. I have bought all of his books and just wish he would write faster!
