Margaret was born and raised in Texas; grew up loving life in the country, riding horses and writing. Her love of writing was inspired by her maternal grandmother who wrote short stories and poetry and read them to her when she was a child. From her love of reading when she was young to her passion for writing poetry and short stories in junior high she had a desire to share her stories with the world. After owning her own business for 17 years God opened that door for her, and now she is realizing her dream of being a published author. Margaret has been married to the love of her life, for 42 years, has two sons, and six grandchildren to love and spoil.
This adventure read, with a touch of romance, was a quick-paced page-turner. Eddie Roark is a relatable main character who easily pulled me into the story and happily kept me there as he dealt with a plethora of sensational situations. With many lives at stake Eddie’s ability to categorize and deal with multiple situations and still keep a glimpse of snarky humor had me well entertained. Great story for some escapism.
I was so excited to receive the second book in the Rogue Warrior series. I had waited patiently for this having enjoyed the first so much - rather like waiting for Grisham or Child to hurry up and write another. I am thrilled to point out that this was nothing short of 5 stars! Eddie Roark is back and the former Green Beret is now retired and enlisted in the National Guard in Killeen, Texas. This adventure is action-packed, terrifying and certainly relevant.
Ferguson is masterful at creating a totally believable hero that has a strong sense of right and wrong; a personal moral code. Her characters have depth and you either love them or hate them. The setting is Texas in current times and the events, although fictional, could take place at any time. The reader cannot help but feel like they are present and in the middle of the scene watching everything going on and hoping, knowing that Eddie is going to come out on top. As in the first book, The Missionary, there is adventure, action, strategic problem solving, and a bit of romance.
The sad part is that I now have to wait for the third book!
