A Matter of Honor A Sniper, A Vice President, and A Fishing Guide: Escape and Evasion in Wilderness

Vice President Mark Connor plans a wilderness fishing trip while an anti-government conspiracy hires a sniper to assassinate the Vice President. His dream vacation quickly becomes a deadly game of escape, evasion, and relentless pursuit. His survival depends on fishing guide Bill Brandt's combat and leadership skills honed in the Vietnam War and the skills of strong female characters in the fishing party.

Frank Linik, a former Army Airborne Ranger and author of the military novel of the Vietnam War, A Matter of Semantics, A Young Officers Decision: Duty or Loyalty in the Vietnam War, served as a rifle platoon leader in the Central Highlands in 1968-1969. His combat decorations include the Bronze Star with Oak Leaf Cluster, Air Medal, Army Commendation Medal, and Combat Infantryman Badge.

Frank also worked as a fly-fishing guide in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. His writing has appeared in Innisfree, Viet Now, and California Flyfisher.

Frank is a retired educator and resides in Oregon with his wife where he divides his time between writing, fly fishing, photography, and cooking, not necessarily in that order.
