Point of Honor

by Maurice Medland

"One of the best adventure writers today. A master storyteller." - Clive Cussler Two men separated by a strict code of honor locked in a lethal game of international terror . . . Jorge Cordoba has schemed and murdered his way to the top of a Colombian drug cartel intent on bankrupting the industrialized nations of the world. But when the freighter delivering the goods that will secure the cartel's - and Cordoba's - future goes missing, he's thrown into a life or death struggle to recover it. Enter Navy Lieutenant Daniel Blake, a former merchant marine officer who's just been ordered to lead a boarding party of seven men and one woman onto an abandoned freighter. In the hull of the freighter are thirty tons of cocaine, $350 million in cash - and half a dozen corpses with their tongues cut out. Separated from his own ship with a typhoon rapidly approaching, Blake and his team are plunged into a battle of terror against not one, but two treacherous enemies - Cordoba's strike force racing to the scene and a savage murderer who is still aboard. At the heart of this electrifying novel are two very different men, separated by their morality and strict code of honor, bound together in a deadly game of power and survival that each must fight to the very end.

[Glen · Rating 3 out of 5]

Reads like an old golden age crime comic book. A cartel member lives large, with women and all kinds of luxuries we can only dream of, while the putative hero goes through horrors trying to stop him.

Great story!

I love sea stories and this was a good one! Great characters lots of action. It all tied together at the end. Many twists too. The hero kept coming up with answers and a lot of luck. Okay, some wildly unusual luck and close calls some might call unbelievable in real life, but fiction isn't real life. No different than Clive Cussler heroes like Dirk Pitt. It's fun and some how makes sense in the context of an exciting read. I hope Medland gets started on his next adventure ,I'm looking forward to it!

Entertaining & Captivating

I gave this a rating of 5 because it held my interest and was a new storyline for me. I didn't know what was coming next, and I enjoyed the differences in the characters.

An exciting read

An exciting read. Military, the U.S. Navy. Drug runners. Organised crime and a cyclone thrown in just for fun! Oh, a little romance to boot.

I wasn't sure I would like this book, but it sounded intriguing. I was definitely caught up in the story and character development. I decided to follow the author and will be reading his next book soon!

A bit technical at times but kept you wanting to know.

First half was excellent and had great expectations where it would go but the obligatory love story took a lot of the wind out of the sails. And the added adoption.....not necessary.

Enjoyed the action.

Hero was a bit over the top but the story moved right along. Several unexpected twists made it even more interesting.

Hold On! This Is Action Packed

At times the story line became extended with details. Overall a fast page turner. This reminds of a Clive Cussler novel.
