What I'm Reading: THE KINGMAKER by Brian Haig

As a fan of TV's "JAG," I was excited to discover an equivalent in print, Brian Haig's Sean Drummond series. Haig, son of Alexander, is a West Point graduate and career military strategist. Army major Drummond took up law after serious injuries forced him out of a covert unit called the Outfit. As narrator of four military legal thrillers so far, Drummond has shown red-blooded machismo and self-deprecation rivaling Spenser. Haig's writing has steadily improved, making the 400-plus-page books run like great rides.
