Fantastic Novel {Rule of Law Book Review}


My favorite book I've read this year...and I have read MANY!! How I haven't read a Randy Singer novel before I'm not sure, but this one will not be my last! Perfect blend of murder, mystery, political suspense, and legal tensions. The main characters are quite complex, and the minor characters add depth and interest to the novel. Kudos to Singer for providing a list of the characters at the front of the book; there were a few times I referred back to it to make sure I had the characters straight.

I think what makes the novel so riveting is the fact this fictional storyline is actually quite plausible. At the very least, I'm sure that some areas of the plot have and will continue to take place within the US political system. Rule of Law is a fantastic "Law and Order meets James Michener" work of art (without taking away whatsoever that Singer is an accomplished and gifted author in his own right). I look forward to reading more of his novels!

*I received a copy of this book from the publisher, but was under no obligation to write a review. My honest opinion has been provided without any requirement to write a positive review.*

Rule of Law (Tyndale, September 2017)
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?
