Edge of Honor: A High-Stakes Political Thriller of the First Female President and Criminal Russia

Madeline Turner #2

by Richard Herman

Madeline Turner, the first female U.S. President, has already weathered global crises during the first months of her administration. But the balance of power has suddenly shifted dangerously and dramatically in Europe—the Russian government has fallen into the hands of a criminal—and a fearsome, re-emergent bear is on a rampage. Locked into a war of wits and weaponry with the deadly cabal of drug runners and murderers who now rule a one-time empire, Maddy Turner will need capable allies beside her—like Air Force legend Matt Pontowski, who will become the beleaguered Commander-in-Chief's confidant, friend, and more. An explosive confrontation is coming that could reshape the face of the world—and the fate of President Turner herself.

Reviews

[James · Rating 2 out of 5]

Bad Tom Clancy.

[Jim A · Rating 3 out of 5]

A good story in its own way, but it does not contain the well described aerial combat sequences that make Herman's novels so unique.

This is more of a political thriller, Turner's White House vs a Russian mobster with a 'God complex'. Throw in Germany wanting to take their share of Poland and the stage is set for intrigue.

Readers of Power Curve will remember the president's chief of staff, Patrick Shaw. He's back in this novel and still an a--hole. Also, readers some of Herman's other series will enjoy the role played by Matt Pontowski in this book.

All in all a decent read even though while there are some aerial combat sequences, they are sidelines to the primary story.

Very enjoyable reading

Herman has done it again with this book. It includes political intrigue and aerial combat, from the White House to the cockpit of an F16 in mortal combat. This book is as good or better than any of his others.

Combat

Excellent reading and this novel combines a woman's presidential abilities with several
aircraft combat scenes. It's a book that's hard to put down.
