Forces of Redemption is the first book I have read by John Galt Robinson. I enjoyed reading this book for the most part, however some scenes were not for the faint of heart. I expected it would be a tough at times read as the subject matter is human trafficking and drug cartels. The descriptions throughout were quite vivid. I loved the characters, especially Christy and Joe. The two of them have some very deep conversations on faith that are quite intriguing. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading the next installment Power City!
I borrowed this book from Kindle Unlimited. All thoughts are my own.
From Amazon:
During a hectic Emergency Department shift, Dr. Christine “Christy” Tabrizi rescues a young Honduran girl from the gang that has been prostituting her and discovers the horrors of human trafficking tracing all the way back to the cartels in Central America. Christy volunteers for a mission in Honduras, to help rescue as many young girls as possible from the Cartels that control them. Joe O’Shanick is part of a Navy SEAL platoon deployed in Central America and finds himself in the midst of hostile territory when the President of the United States, a man of Mexican-American heritage who sympathizes with the human condition in Central America, declares war on the Cartels. In the middle of a tense hostage scenario, Christy and Joe’s paths collide, and they must rely on each other and their respective skills to escape with their lives.
About the author:
I grew up on Grand Island, New York, just a few miles upstream from the majestic Niagara Falls. My love of reading was handed down from my father who named me after the hero of Ayn Rand’s Epic, Atlas Shrugged. Growing up, I enjoyed sailing with my family. Additionally, I raced my own sailboat and crewed for other sailors on Lake Erie and the Niagara River. I graduated from Grand Island Senior High School, where I competed in football, swimming and lacrosse.
I began attending college at Georgia Tech as part of the Navy ROTC program. An untimely ankle fracture disqualified me from military service which led me to pursue a career as an athletic trainer. After graduate school in Buffalo, NY, my wife and I moved to Middle Tennessee where I was employed as an athletic trainer providing care for several high school athletic programs. A few years and three children later, we took a big risk, and I enrolled in medical school at East Tennessee State University. After earning my medical degree, we moved to Columbia, South Carolina where I began residency in Emergency Medicine. We continue to live here today where I practice in a large regional hospital emergency department.
I still sail with my family and I am also an avid fitness enthusiast having competed in triathlons of all lengths including Ironman and Half Ironman. Reading remains a passion and I am happy to say that my wife and younger daughter are avid readers as well. With their encouragement, I began the process of writing and I am now hooked. I signed with KCM Publishing in December of 2020 and we published my first novel, Forces of Redemption, in March of 2021. Since then the next two novels in the O’Shanick/Tabrizi series, Power City and, most recently, Lost Angels, have been published with more to come! I have previously been published as a co-author in a medical journal but fiction is my true passion. I enjoy reading thriller/suspense novels along with historical fiction and biographies. My favorite authors are Tom Clancy, Vince Flynn, Clive Cussler, Ben Coes, Mark Dawson and Brad Thor.
