Semper Fi Brothers

By A.C. Turner

Yarmuck, Syria is under attack. ISIS goons under the command of ruthless Commander Abu, have infiltrated the village and are determined to purge it of its Yazidi heritage... by any means necessary.

Meanwhile, half a world away in California, tormented Shamus "Gunny" O'Malley-retired Marine and Vietnam Vet who's done nothing but drink his way through civilian life as a TV personality and bar owner-learns his young Yazidi bartender, Quassam, fears for the lives of the family left behind in Yarmuck.

When Quassam, "Q" to his friends, announces his plan to save his mother and sister from the ISIS goons, Gunny's hapless best friend (and best customer), Buzz, decides he's going to aid young Q on his journey, and does everything he can to convince Gunny to come along for the ride.

With time running out and ISIS tightening its grip, Gunny has a decision to make. As the son of a white father and black mother, O'Malley knows from his time in the Marines that race can never break the bonds between semper fi brothers. Will he stay brash and boozy in sunny California, or will he take a leap of faith and journey to hellish, war-torn Syria to help his brothers and slay his-and Yarmuck's-demons?

Interesting read!

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK #IREADBOOKTOURS Semper Fi Brothers: A Hero’s Dangerous Journey for Redemption by A.C. Turner was and interesting read for me. The beginning ot the book was fun because it mentions things that brought back memories for me when I was young. Though I don’t remember when a two-bedroom bungalow could be purchased for $4,400. I enjoyed getting to know some of the characters and others I didn’t relate to that well. The 1940’s and 1950’s wasn’t a time that racial issues were so popular, but it was mentioned in the book about a racial couple and I didn’t have a problem with it. I did like couples child, Shamus. There’s quiet a bit that goes on in this book, with the war, and then the problems they had afterward. I enjoyed the bit of humor in the story, especially when Patrick decides to follow his young son William one night to see why he was so secretive about where he was going. The scene a little bit later was hilarious. And yes you have to read the book to fine out. I think anyone who enjoys stories about Marines or military stories would enjoy reading this one. I’m giving this one Four Stars. A special thanks to the author/publisher for a copy of this book. I am not required to write a positive review, the opinions here are mine alone.
