"Rule of Law"
​by Randy Singer
What did the president know? And when did she know it?
For the members of SEAL Team Six, it was a rare mission ordered by the president, monitored in real time from the Situation Room. The Houthi rebels in Yemen had captured an American journalist and a member of the Saudi royal family. Their executions were scheduled for Easter Sunday. The SEAL team would break them out.
But when the mission results in spectacular failure, the finger-pointing goes all the way to the top.
Did the president play political games with the lives of U.S. service members?
Paige Chambers, a determined young lawyer, has a very personal reason for wanting to know the answer. The case she files will polarize the nation and test the resiliency of the Constitution. The stakes are huge, the alliances shaky, and she will be left to wonder if the saying on the Supreme Court building still holds true.
Equal justice under law.
It makes a nice motto. But will it work when one of the most powerful people on the planet is also a defendant?
*****************************************************************************
Have you ever wondered what really goes on behind the scenes of Special Ops missions or in our government? Well if you have, then this book is definitely for you. Randy Singer takes the reader through an hair raising journey in "Rule of Law" by giving us a peek behind the scenes of our government and their role in Special Ops missions. This edge-of-your-seat story will have you holding your breath as you turn the pages to find out what will happen next. As the story progresses, we are thrown into the middle of war between citizens trying to do the right thing and government officials who think that they are above the law. Will the civilians, who have named themselves SEAL Team 9, come out on top? Or will the corrupt politicians "eyewash" their way to victory? 

Parental Guidance: There is some language and graphic scenes in this story.

ABOUT THE BOOK
Book title: Wheresoever They May Be
Author: Terri Wangard
Release date: August 30, 2017
Genre: Historical – World War II


Lily Swanson longs to be a mother. Soon Frank should be home for good and they can furnish a nursery. Maybe even find a bigger house.
Joe Gallagher grew up in a small house with plenty of siblings. He loves the solitude of flying, but the war has dragged on for so long. He’s ready to go home.
Susan Talbot has a bad attitude. She’s estranged from her family and she doesn’t attract friends. But war can bring out the best in people and Susan’s surprised to realize she’s happy.
They all do their part in striving for victory in World War II. Sometimes, though, the danger can be hard to identify.
*****************************************************************************
I have always loved learning about the World War II era, and this book is filled with many historic details about World War II that most books and even textbooks leave out. From the very beginning you will find yourself drawn into the intensity of the War. The author shows us the different struggles that people suffered throughout the War by allowing us to follow the viewpoints of four different individuals during the War. While each chapter does switch to a new person, I did not find it confusing or hard to follow. There were times when the chapter would end and switch to new person, that I wanted to stay with the previous person to see what would happen to them next. 

One of the things that I enjoyed most about this book, was the way that the characters grew throughout the story. Most of them grew closer to God and told others about God as well. The courage and strength that the characters showed throughout the book was incredible. They went through a lot, but they never let their problems get them down. I must warn you though, that there are some things mentioned in this book that some readers(myself included) may find inappropriate. Also I must confess that by the time I finished the book, I was depressed and frustrated about how the book ended. Not that it was a bad ending, but it doesn't have a complete happy ending.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Picture
Terri Wangard grew up in Green Bay, Wisconsin, during the Lombardi Glory Years. Her first Girl Scout badge was the Writer. These days she is writing historical fiction, and won the 2013 Writers on the Storm contest and 2013 First Impressions, as well as being a 2012 Genesis finalist. Holder of a bachelor’s degree in history and a master’s degree in library science, she lives in Wisconsin. Her research included going for a ride in a WWII B-17 Flying Fortress bomber. Classic Boating Magazine, a family business since 1984, keeps her busy as an associate editor.

GUEST POST FROM THE AUTHOR
After eight years of thinking, breathing, researching B-17s, I was ready to disembark and concentrate on something else. But what? I had a vague idea of three friends who joined the WAC, the WAVES, and the WASPs, but nothing crystalized. Except for the WAC.
I didn’t want to completely turn away from flying, and I prefer topics that aren’t commonly known. How about a grasshopper pilot? My second character was on board.
I had toyed with the idea of a family generational series. A World War II story paired with a World War I story. But no, too unwieldy.
The WAC could have a sister, though, who stayed on the home front and did factory work. Oh, dear. I couldn’t completely stay away from B-17s. She’s building them.
She also needs a husband. He’ll be in the navy, and not on an aircraft carrier. A destroyer! (This was in the works before Sarah Sundin signed a contract for her just-concluded series about destroyer men. I checked with her: She was writing about the Atlantic war; my guy’s in the Pacific. No problem.) I studied the list of Pacific destroyers and, oooh, the Spence. All kinds of possibilities there.
So there I had it: a sailor, his Rosie-the-Riveter wife, her WAC sister, and a grasshopper pilot. They’re all doing their part to help win the war, but sometimes the enemy isn’t obvious.
