About book In The Name Of Honour (2010)

Though it was enjoyable, I rated it hard for two reasons: 1) too many themes are straight from A Few Good Men and 2) the twists and turns were a little too good to be true and the last one came a little too late after much courtroom discussion and testimony. And of course there are the usual: impossibly easy sexual relations with impossibly beautiful and skilled women, impossibly well-qualified people getting into tangles with one another, forces beyond what's immediately evident. When you are trying to develop a character and don't have the luxury of a Garry Trudeau decades-long runway, it is tempting to use too many adjectives. When you're trying to produce quickly, you'll overuse a few of them. I don't want to hear "laconic" or "phlegmatic" again for a while. Someone could just be slow or stupid or lazy. Patterson educates me in each book about some place, culture or current issue all the while entertaining me with a good story. In this book I learn a lot about the military court marshal process and am reminded of the military culture I left behind several years ago(USAF Academy 1965, active duty 1965-1980, ret Lt Col USAF Reserves). Because it included issues concern Iraq, Vietnam, and Afghanistan, I also was faced with the fact that the US is singularly unsuccessful in dealing with tribal cultures and makes the same mistake over and over again--we invade a country to "save" them and then are amazed that the saved people despise us and fight back.
