Grief can be the spawn of betrayal and deaths debris, and when it morphs into revenge, grief can fuel infernos Satan would envy. High Order draws a picture of the deadly results that betrayal can yield. It drives one man to serial murder, sends a victim's husband on his deadly campaign for revenge, and leads a third person to form a devastating plan to prevent his ex-wife from remarrying.
When Baltimore's citizens are in a jam, they call the police. When the police need help, they call the Emergency Services Unit, AKA the bomb squad.
Lead bomb technician Hunter Morgan learned many valuable lessons during his three tours in Vietnam, but none more powerful than this: People are never more dangerous than when they feel they have nothing left to lose.
Morgan, homicide detective Andrew Hermann, and journalist Dusty Rhodes form an unlikely trio in a desperate race to deal with the explosive results of the three intertwined cases.t
High Order is Mike Sutton's second work. In it, he brings two of the characters from No Survivors, his Vietnam novel, forward into the hectic world of Baltimore's Bomb Squad.
Mike makes his home in Central Florida. He has just released his fourth novel—The Immaculate Infection—which, like his third work, Primary Candidates, revolves around domestic and international terrorist acts.

Mike Sutton's Vietnam Novel Giveaway
Folks -- Starting today and for the next 30 days, we'll be giving away 100 Kindle copies of my Vietnam Novel
No Survivors
.
The work is based on experiences during my three tours in Vietnam as an infantry advisor with the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam (MACV). Small teams of 6 to 8 Americans would live, train and fight with the South Vietnamese for up to a year at a time.
Training included various weapons systems and tactics. We would then accompany the Vietnamese on combat operations.
When in contact with the North Vietnamese Army (NVA) or Viet Cong (VC), guerrillas we provided tactical advice. We called in artillery fire missions, airstrikes, and medivacs to remove wounded, prisoners, and the dead.
The vast majority of the story's incidents actually happened. However, because I write about it in a different location or timeframe, it is classified as fiction.
War indelibly brands the minds of its participants and victims. Nothing exorcises war’s psychological residue. In that very real sense, there are no survivors.
That’s the devastating premise set forth by Mike Sutton who spent three tours of duty as part of the relatively unknown Military Assistance Command, Vietnam.
No Survivors follows three infantry advisors: Hunter Morgan, a 3-tour vet fighting a war his country is fighting against; Army Medic Henry Small Deer, a full-blooded Sioux, who’d rather fight than stitch; Jesse Edwards, a naïve recruit with a hidden dark side and Samantha Crawford, an Army nurse working in primitive operating rooms and rural hospital wards.
A spy has been planted in the advisors’ team house and, as a result, the enemy is waiting at every turn. Only luck, skill, and combat experience allow the advisors to survive the most inhuman ground assaults and bloody ambushes.
Following an unthinkable climax, and in a brilliant piece of writing, the primary characters come to the bitter, painful realization that sometimes the life you give for your country . . . is not your own.
