For a Marine lover like me, this season has been heaven and I'm glad to see After Elton has picked up on that. Rich Merritt's "Code of Conduct" and it's one of the best books I've ever read and I'm hoping that Christopher Rice's upcoming book, "Blind Fall" is ever better. "Code of Conduct" really shows the devastating effect of "Don't ask, don't tell" while Rich's "Blind Fall" (released March 11 - I've already ordered it), is true to his usual form and involves murder mystery with a gay Marine character.
