SNODGRASS
Amidst the tension of a true historical military escalation between the USA and Libya in 1986, a Navy fighter pilot navigates his haunted past and uncertain future, discovering that true battles lie within, while a determined detective in Denver unravels a web of deceit, murder, and stolen diamonds that threatens to destroy them both.
Eight years after I ran away from home in a daring bid for freedom, I soared over the Mediterranean Sea in an F18, engaged in combat against the Sudan, Yemen, and Soviet Union militaries.
At fifteen, I confronted a daunting choice: endure the torment of my abusive stepfather or brave the uncertainties of the world alone. Opting for independence, I set out into the unforgiving terrain of the Rockies, ill-prepared for the challenges that awaited me. With winter looming and no opportunities in sight, I resorted to desperate measures to survive, turning to a life of crime.
Welcome to the gritty reality of my story—a tale where resilience clashes with harsh realities and survival becomes the sole imperative.

Thrilling Tale: True Story of Courage, Combat, and Crime
Overall, this story promises to be a compelling and multi-faceted exploration of resilience, survival, and the complexities of the human experience, set against a backdrop of personal struggle, military service, and criminality. So interesting—definitely. Mark is a fascinating person that you want to puzzle out. His life is ridiculous and full of drama and subterfuge. I’m rooting for him to succeed and turn around and find the path to good, but also knowing that he’s going to be the person that he is and that’s just how it’ll be for him.

Snodgrass isn’t just a book, it’s an experience. I felt every punch, every moment of fear, and every glimmer of hope right along with the protagonist. It’s one of those stories that stays with you long after you’ve finished the last page.

Mark Bertrand has a way of pulling you in from the very first sentence and not letting go until the very end. Snodgrass isn’t just about survival, it’s about the human spirit and what we’re capable of when pushed to the edge. Absolutely phenomenal.

I laughed, I cried, and I couldn’t stop turning the pages. Snodgrass is gritty, it’s intense, and it’s real. Bertrand doesn’t sugarcoat anything, and that’s what makes this story so powerful. It’s a must-read for anyone who loves a good thriller with heart.

I picked up Snodgrass expecting a thrilling read, but what I got was so much more. It’s not just about the action and the danger, it’s about the journey and the resilience of the human soul. Bertrand has crafted something truly special here.
