I'm new to J. Gunnar Grey's books, but this one was a top of my list.  I have a good friend who is a K9 Handler in the Air Force.  He's served in Iraq and the middles east more times than one could imagine.  He's always sharing pictures of his dogs, and when I saw SHAKEDOWN I knew I had to give this a try.First I was often spellbound by the descriptive style of writing.  I love authors who really try to perfect their craft, and well she does it.  At times I felt as if I was right there in the backdrop of this National Park.Gunnar clearly has done her homework or has some inside information because her writing style although fiction has many believable parts.  I never once came away saying this is just not believable.  That is very refreshing as you thumb through.  The story of this amazing dog Pojo and his new female owner is inspiring.  Although, they are both no longer in active duty in the armed forces they both still have some amazing skill sets.  During moments of crisis they both reley on training and experience to make a bad situation really good.  Sure, as in every book there are a few moments of some dry salty filler, but this book makes you feel warm and fuzzy but in an American Apple Pie kind of way.  I enjoy books that aren't over the top, and I also like books that give you some extra details at the end this earns high marks on both accounts.  Pojo the retired bomb sniffing dog, and his new owner a highly skilled electronic intelligence officer have an unusual start together, but in the end they would make their old units very proud. Shakedown was very well written, and fun too.
