Talon: Combat Tracking Team Volume 2: 02 (Breed Apart) - Softcover

"Now I know why they label Ronie's novels 'Rapid Fire Fiction!' With inimitable style, this book hooks you from page one and machine-guns you to a satisfying finish. Bravo, Ronie!"-Creston Mapes, bestselling author of "Fear Has a Name"

""Talon" was a non-stop, heart-pounding adventure full of twists, turns, and romance. Every time I picked it up, I was transported to Talon and Aspen's world and felt every emotion that they experienced. It has a little bit of everything to capture the hearts of all readers!"-Lisa Phillips, Founder/CEO of Retired Military Working Dog Assistance Organization

Exhilarating. Fast-paced. Action-packed. Romantic. These are just some of the words describe that this book in a nutshell. When you start it, you won't want to put it down. I've been looking forward to this book since Trinity "came out and it didn't disappoint.

If you've read the first book, the whole team makes an appearance in this one and Talon is (clearly) the star of the show (If you noted in my previous review on Trinity", you will realize and understand that I do not comprehend fascinations with animals, but I still enjoy these books!). I will say, though, that there is a LOT that goes down in this book: family problems, different countries, shoot-em-up scenes, kidnapping, etc. Spiritually, you've got Dane finding his way back to God and Aspen learning how to trust Him. Great Book! Really anticipating the next one!--Embassie Susberry (04/26/2013)

After reading TRINITY, the first book in the A Breed Apart series, I couldn't wait to get my hands on Book Two, TALON: COMBAT TRACKING TEAM. Let me tell you I was not disappointed. I fell in love with this MWD, he is a true hero. TALON will take you where you could never go before without being a part of the military. As I read this book, I was a heroine, a hero, a villain....a dog. I was in the trenches, racing against time to save.......read the book to finish that sentence. Once again, I was reminded of what our men and women (and those wonderful MWDs) do every day to keep us safe and free. The characters in TALON are so well written, that they seemed real to me. I found myself praying for them throughout the story. This book has it all....action, romance, heartache, laughter, and my favorite when it comes to this series, those wonderful MILITARY WAR DOGS!--Debbie Mitchell"Redemption Draws Near" (04/23/2013)

Kendig's characters are strong, smart and driven, and the inspirational touch lends warmth and strength to her characters, as well. The plot is captivating and intense. If you're an animal lover, Talon will capture your heart and won't let go. Put TALON: COMBAT TRACKING TEAM on your to-read list. You won't be disappointed.--Viki Ferrell"Fresh Fiction" (04/17/2013)

Ronie Kendig hit another one out of the park. Ronie has once again created a series that keeps you on the edge of your seat rooting for our heroes both human and canine throughout the entire ride.--Donna Feyen"More Than a Review" (04/29/2013)

Kendig's fans are in for a real treat with this second installment in the A Breed Apart Series. For those who have yet to pick up a book by this brilliant author, trust me, you won't want to wait a moment longer. The pages in "Talon" are brimming with twists and one in particular is bound to thrill readers. There is no question, this novel has made my "Best of 2013" list. --Elizabeth Olmedo"Fiction Addiction" (04/26/2013)

"Talon" is essentially a richly-detailed story of two distant and combustible families whose dynamic paths intermingle with strong characters who produce hate, distrust, love and commitment. In the process, Kendig skillfully connects the far-reaching dots while not undermining the combative tone and vigorous flow from cover-to-cover. --Ranny Green"Seattle Dog Show" (05/01/2013)

Read it in 2 days! Good gracious Kendig did good by this one!--Joleen Graumann"Breath Perfumed" (05/16/2013)

This is my first read by Ronie Kendig and I am amazed ! I am totally going back to read the first book in this series..--Larik Burci"GoodReads" (05/07/2013)
