truth about her life from everyone. She has defied her father and brother by joining the AAF and studying to be a pilot. She has disdain for Americans but is slowly coming around. They are thrown together after she accidentally bombs his team. They are on the run from the Taliban and Chinese. Their lives and the lives of the children in her friends care are on the line. His team is in jeopardy as they are targets and their communications are compromised.
This story is sure to keep you at the edge of your seat, it is action packed and intense. The author did a great job of developing characters they are multi-dimensional and passionate. Faith is a strong aspect of this story. With characters sold out for Jesus, some questioning their beliefs and searching for answers. I enjoyed the faith aspect of Hawk. But you better duck because the bullets are flying.
Hawk is book two in The Quite Professionals Series. I enjoyed it and had no problem following even though I have not read book one, Raptor 6. I give this book 4 stars and think all suspense and military lovers will really enjoy Hawk. I was very upset with the ending, I feel I was left hanging. So I guess I will be reading Book 3, Falcon to see what happened.
I want to thank the author Ronie Kendig and publisher Shiloh for bringing good clean, compelling Christian books that are entertaining and give hope to the reader with stories of faith. I would also like to thank The Book Club Network Inc. for providing me with this book in exchange for my honest review.

5 stars ***** out of five
Christian Suspense

If this is not your first time reading a review of mine, you will know that a Ronie Kendig novel is a must read for me. And, as others written by her, this one does not disappoint in the suspense level category. The cover is true to the novel, without

giving the plot away, and through quite a bit of the story, I was wondering who the courageous soldier was carrying. If you do not enjoy stories of violence as associated with an ongoing war, this might not be something you want to pick up to read as a bedtime book, because Ronie writes very visually, and the reader almost tastes the fear of the hunted. I never want to be any closer to the war zone than safely in my own home reading about it and living vicariously through an author's eyes! I tend to read books as they are released, and sadly, that means that it can be a fairly long time between books. Although this is part of a series, and I did read book 1as well, it is not necessary to the enjoyment of this one. Enough back story is given to make this book great on its own! The novel put a voice to the victims of war, as well as the courageous defenders of freedom.

Thank you to Fred and Cheri at The Book Club Network, Ronie Kendig, the author and Shiloh Publishers which is a division of Barbour, for the opportunity to read this book. I received this book free in exchange for an honest review. A positive critique was not required. The opinions are my own.
