The Way of the Brave is the first installment of Susan May Warren's Global Search and Rescue series. We are introduced to a very interesting, if not immediately lovable, cast of characters. Orion Starr has his own demons to wrestle and he's not prepared to join ex-military buddies Hamilton and Jake on their global search and rescue team. Like Denali, the mountain that overshadows his very existence, Orion is cold, hard and unconquerable. Jenny Calhoun spends her life trying to outrun the demons that haunt her. Those demons collide when Orion, Ham, and Jake find themselves on a rescue mission to save Jenny and her friends, who have become lost on Denali. And when the falling ice finally settles, we get to the heart of the matter. "What if God lets us suffer so we can reach out to him for comfort and in that moment receive everything he wants for us?"
I have to say that I did not like Orion for most of the book. But then, he began to melt and crack, revealing his true nature and becoming more the man I had hoped he would be. Warren is a master at divulging just the right amount of information at just the right time to move the story along and keep the reader interested. She had me from the first sentence and holds me in anticipation of the next book in the series.
Thank you to the publisher for allowing me a copy of this book to read and review. The opinions stated in this review are my own and are my completely honest assessment.
