Nobody tells a story about the Army better than Lucian K. Truscott IV, who comes from a military family and knows how to write up a storm. His latest--after Dress Gray, available in paperback--is an incredibly timely and totally engrossing story about a promising female officer involved in an adulterous affair. Her accused murderer is defended by a marvelously complex character, Major Kate Guidry, who understands both sides of the dilemma: how a closed world like the Army needs to impose its own controls, and how the physical demands of human beings can't be forced out of shape just because they wear uniforms. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
