Border Duty

Summary: A Story for Our Times
Review: It seems so strange that the events described in Border Duty only took place a short time ago. Butler really brings back this world of intrigue, battle, and suspense--a thriller that many of us who read the news can really understand. The descriptions in Border Duty are very vivid, as if Butler himself had once been a border guard and had walked those same paces himself. I highly recommend this book!

Summary: Great new author!
Review: The lives of two young soldiers from opposite sides of the Iron Curtain intersect in a tangle of blood and intrigue in Robert Butler's new book Border Duty. When an East German border officer attempts to defect on Christmas Eve during the winter of 1988, he unknowingly sets in motion a series of tragic events. As a witness to the defection, a young American cavalry officer finds himself bound up in his enemy's fate. When East Germany implodes just months later, the German soldier vows revenge against the only person whose involvement he can identify: the decorated American officer.
Robert Butler weaves an intense and multi-layered story about the conflicting loyalties of the military: duty to country and faithfulness to oneself-and the lengths one has to go to preserve both-in this heart-pumping military thriller. This was great read and should be a movie!
