Pledge of Honor: a Mark Cole Thriller
“It wasn’t that he was scared of heights. He might have been once, he supposed, as a boy; but such had been his spirit, even then, that he’d refused to give in to the fear and had instead faced it head-on, climbing trees and buildings until he could merrily run along the top girders of the local bridge, conditioned to ignore the nagging doubts that tried to tell him he could plummet to his death.
Those same thoughts were back now – they had never really left him, despite the more than one th...ousand freefall parachute jumps he had done back with the SEALs – but he did what he always did and mentally overrode them, wiped them out entirely as he focused on what he was going to do, not on what if something happened to him when he was doing it.
