Half of Faith (Josh Morgan Novels Book 1) Kindle Edition

It is the not too distant future and the United States is once again mired in a years-long oil shortage. Frantic for a solution, President Wendell Mercer has entered into negotiations with the Holy Islamic Republic of Saudi Arabia. Ruled by a resurgent al-Qaeda, the Saudi government seizes on the American president’s desperation as an opportunity to exact revenge against the Great Satan for its history of unrelenting persecution. At the center of the plan is former US President Trenton Weston. Saudi agent Fadi Al-Majeed and NSA Deputy Director Everson Blake, men of different nationalities and different faiths, battle over Weston’s fate, each convinced that his god blesses, or at least gives special dispensation to his plans. Disgraced ex-CIA officer Josh Morgan, withdrawn and bitter and haunted by his own demons, owes a debt of honor to the former president and must act to save him. Fueled individually by religious fervor, personal revenge, and moral obligation, the three men expose their hypocrisies and personal failings as they battle for opposing outcomes. By different paths through Mexico and the US, they converge in a finale that could change the course of two nations, and perhaps the world.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Rod Johnson has two passions in life – his family and writing. After years in the Financial Services industry, Rod retired to devote his time to both.

Among the author’s influences are great novelists in the thriller genre such as Clancy, Ludlum, le Carré, and others. Nelson DeMille’s Charm School is an all-time favorite novel and he admires Brad Meltzer for the breadth of his work across multiple genres and media.

Rod’s dad was the first of his family to move away from the family farm to live and work in a city (population 8,000). However, with extended family remaining on farms and ranches, the writer “grew up country” and this upbringing is evident in some of his characters. In particular, Rod captures the sense of roaming free as a youngster in rural Texas in his novella, The Calendar.

Spy thrillers are Rod’s primary focus. His debut work, Half of Faith, is the first in the series of Josh Morgan Novels that carry the protagonist’s name. The sequel is scheduled for an early summer release.

The writer’s faith-based and inspirational articles have been published in national magazines.

Rod still spends much of his non-writing time in the outdoors. He loves flyfishing and photography and his family spends as much time as possible on their thirty-seven-foot sailboat, No Regrets.

If you enjoy plots with a myriad of moving parts, lived out in characters with compelling blends of virtues and flaws and complex personalities who struggle to balance their better selves with their hypocrisies, you’ll love Rod’s work.

The author still resides in a small North Texas town with his wife and daughter.

5.0 out of 5 stars A New Hero in the Making
Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2019

For his 1st Thriller he has hit a home run.

The story pits Josh against a group of Government officials who want to see the former President dead . Josh gets involved when it appears that the Gobernment does not want to take any action when the former President is kidnapped and the Mexican President is killed. The former President assisted Josh when he was accused of commiting criminal acts while employed by the CIA.

Josh travels to Mexico to pick up the trail and follows it into the United States where he meets up with the kidnapper.

The characters are well written and the ending is done quite well and you need to read the book to find out who in Government and what the story was behind the kidnapping.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent, fast paced read!
Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2020
I am no literary critic so bear with me here. I never really got into reading Jack Reacher, Jason Bourne, or Jack Ryan books; however, I thoroughly enjoy all of those movies.
Half of Faith and its protagonist, Josh Morgan, are every bit as action packed and cerebral as any of the aforementioned characters. The way Johnson approaches writing, with his cutting from one character and thread to another and back again, creates a flow that feels like it has been edited for the big screen. Very captivating!
It is the best book I've read all year! I hesitate to write that for fear of speaking too soon, since I am currently reading his second book - SPIRITs of Retribution.

Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2019
It was quite enjoyable. The author seems to have done a fair bit of research and knows his stuff. The characters were believable and likable and plenty of suspense and action to keep you from putting the book down. I will be looking forward to the next adventure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Introduction to Josh
Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2020
The adventures of Josh were so exciting that it was difficult to stop reading when interrupted. The only issue that I had was keeping up with the many characters. However, each character had a vital part in the story so I just went back to refresh who they were. I read this book while on vacation which resulted in my concentration level. I'm looking forward to the next adventures of Josh and especially his romance with Maggie.
