PUSH

In life, the question is not whether you will face adversity but when. For Raylan Dansby, the main character in this novel, adversity comes early in life when his Air Force pilot father's jet crashes in Korea. Growing up on a farm, as we used to say, way out in the country, most of Raylan's life advice comes from an older cousin, a disabled former U.S. Marine, who told him as a youngster the best way to deal with adversity is to 'push through it.' When David Ware was writing this novel, it was just as if someone kept whispering the word 'Push' in his ear. And as a decorated Vietnam War vet, former Atlanta beat cop, and Louisiana State Trooper, a Law Enforcement pilot, and Medivac pilot. David faced adversity and found a way to push through it. So, there it is. The title of the book was decided. It would be 'Push.' Not just a word, or a book title, but a mantra for survival. The dialog and accounts of Vietnam jungle missions are highly accurate for one simple reason: David Ware was once there hunting - and being hunted by - the enemy. And that level of engaging accuracy is why I'm sure you will enjoy the second in - what I hope to be - a long series of well-written works by author David Ware.
