Great book! I rushed through it the first time I read it because I got so engrossed in the story. I figured I'd better read it again to get the real details. I ended up having to stop myself from going faster and faster the second time.If you have read any of my other reviews, you'll know that I like a good story and likable characters. High Treason by R. K. Buhman has that in spades. In my opinion, it reaches out and grabs you. I love books like this.The book starts a little slowly as you get to know the characters, then it becomes a "who done it" with politics at the highest level. It then evolves into a war story with lots of action. It sort of reminds me of "Seven Days In May" with battles in the second half of the book. I couldn't put it down even on the second reading.You have to like the characters. The good guys and gals are good and the bag guys are despicable.If you look closely, you'll find some editing errors, but I just read past those. I don't let a few commas or a little tense error spoil a really great read.As for the language and the use of the "f" word, I can assure that people under a lot of stress tend to talk that way. I was a fighter pilot in a war and have been shot at with malice aforethought. If you have never been under very high stress or a life threatening situation, you just don't have a clue. I thought the language was very realistic.I thoroughly enjoyed the book the second reading. I highly recommend it.
