Synopsis

Because we never leave our sailors and Marines behind!Fans of "A Few Good Men" and "Saving Private Ryan" will be drawn to this powerful story of courage, integrity, and valor in uniform.Alex Kramer, a prior-enlisted marine and a midshipman at the U.S. Naval Academy, saved three gravely-wounded brothers during combat and was decorated for extraordinary valor. Now conflict confronts him after he takes unauthorized leave to prevent a suicide by a Marine whose life he had rescued under fire. Navy Lieutenant Tara Marcellus, an Academy graduate and submarine junior officer, has returned to Annapolis as a company officer. She meets the fearless midshipman who petitions Tara's sense of moral courage when senior officers recommend punishing Alex with the harshest sanction: separation.Alex's case triggers heated arguments at the Naval Academy's highest levels. He fiercely defends the code of honor he swore, and bled, to uphold; never leave a sailor or Marine behind. Tara deals with a major test of character: either take Alex's side with risks to her role, or do nothing and regret her silence. Together, the two young service members will stand up for a greater duty---for integrity---because it is honorable, despite any consequences that lie ahead for them.

    Everyone’s favorite moral philosopher and amateur sleuth, Isabel Dalhousie, is  
    back and once again finds herself facing a number of tricky situations and  
    philosophical questions, both public and private. 
    Isabel’s life has fallen into a comfortable and tidy rhythm. Well, as tidy as things  
    can be with two small boys wreaking havoc around the house. But when her  
    husband, Jamie, invites a woman named Dawn—recently embroiled in a  
    contentious affair with a member of Jamie’s orchestra—to stay with them, things  
    begin to go awry. Strange noises can be heard from the upper floor, even when  
    Dawn is supposedly at work, and the couple wonders whether something more  
    nefarious may be afoot. 
    If that weren’t enough, Professor Robert Lettuce is staging an academic  
    conference and has asked Isabel to publish the conference papers in a special  
    issue of the Review of Applied Ethics. But something is definitely suspect about  
    the funding, and it will be up to Isabel to sort it out. As the truth comes to light,  
    Isabel must once more rely on her kindness, powers of deduction and  
    philosophical expertise to navigate these sensitive matters.
