Meet Major McMurtry...
Her voice will draw you into her pain. Her struggle will show you how to overcome. In her search for love you will find hope. Army canine trainer and handler Jane McMurtry served in Afghanistan with her dog Shadow until an IED blew her legs away. Now, after learning to walk again, alongside a new canine companion, Jane is tracking the scent of kidnapped children in the Colorado high country when her past, her inner turmoil, and her current case collide. Though Jane thought she’d have to wait two more years, Shadow returns home when he himself suffers injuries. Now two dogs and one woman will struggle to redeem and get on with their lives. In this struggle, Jane partners with a police officer who will make her face the choice between self-loathing and accepting someone’s patient, unconditional love.
What readers are saying...
Mr. Suastegui is a fine, fine storyteller. He had me at page one, and my interest never flagged. As the mother of a PTSD son from the Iraqi war this hit home.

Eduardo Suastegui has loved to daydream since he was a child. With formal education in math and science, affirmed through hands-on engineering experience in designing, building, and integrating gadgets of varying complexity, that daydreaming fed technological innovation. On the side, it also fueled artistic expression.

Of late that daydreaming has engendered stories about hackers, rogue AIs, and space travel, with more than a few stories about a dog trainer and her military K9s sprinkled in. Rumor has it he may even have a Western or two in him.

Eduardo loves to dive into fast-flowing, character-driven stories. With each of the books he reads or writes, he hopes to continue that adventure. For him, a great story is one that moves ahead, but which also moves you. More than anything, through his writing he hopes to connect with readers and so share a piece of himself with those who pick up all that daydreaming turned into written words.

Shadow-7 (Tracking Jane Book 1) by Eduardo Suastegui is a remarkable book telling the story of Major Jane McMurtry, canine trainer & handler & her bomb-sniffing dog Shadow. She is overcoming a bi-lateral amputation because of an IED in Afghanistan. Shadow is overcoming his own injuries.

Jane is describing herself. "But then I remember me, how I've pretty much looked since my sophomore year in high school: big, lumbering, menacing & intimidating, like one girl told me using her big words. As I strap on my second leg I run headlong into the other reason I should stop this flirting nonsense. I'm damaged goods."

This intense, page-turning suspense thriller is a fast paced, fascinating book to read. I gave it almost five stars. It needs editing for typos.

Eduardo Saustegui is a word master & I've got all his books on my wish list.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Amazon. That did not change my opinion for this review.

Shadow-7 was so interesting that I didn't want to put it down. I'm a dog lover and Shade and Shadow are beautiful, intelligent, and still a wonderful job they were trying for.
And they also love their trainer.

Excellent story and characters. The characters seem so real, as they can walk off the pages. Loved Jane and Dan characters, and their work ethic. It is refreshing how honorable they are. Good book.

Short but enjoyable and interesting. I liked the characters Jane and Dan, although Jane has been 'fleshed out' most. The strength, vulnerability and honesty of Jane is most powerful and real. The two dogs are wonderful and I really appreciated the clear picture of their progress in healing and 'finding' themselves, beginning to discover meaning coming back into their lives. This is a very good, well written and well edited book.

My first Suastegui book, but there will be many more! This book was very good. A tender story about a warrior and her k9 partners told with an intriguing plot that was hard to put down! I am going to get book 2 immediately. I appreciate the way the author keeps the focus on Jane and her amazing k9s. My only criticism is that I found 3 typos.

Technology, Trauma, and Tracking Heroism

Despite my appreciation for Suastegui's "Our Cyber World" series, I ignored the Tracking Jane novels until recently. My reason for doing so is something I blush to admit...I judged these books by their covers. Each book but the latest is adorned with a close-up picture of a dog, and for some reason, that flipped a "nope" switch in the part of my brain that makes book-buy decisions.

Then I saw the announcement of the latest book in the series, "Wounded Honor." Instead of a dog, this cover shows a hillside at Arlington National Cemetery, the ranks of gravestones subtly overlain by a waving flag. The switch flipped to "oh, yeah." I picked up the free prequel, and purchased the other six books for my Kindle; I went on an unabashed Tracking Jane binge-read.

The "first episode" of the Tracking Jane series formally introduces the disabled vet Jane McMurtry and a team of medical specialists helping her adjust to her new prosthetics. Her companion dog, Shady, washed out of the same program that produced her beloved Shadow-7. When the events of the prequel catch up to those told in this first novel, Jane has two trained tracking dogs to lead her into a civilian life of purpose.

Jane McMurtry definitely has her own voice; we know her when she speaks not only because she has a deliberate "hick" flair to her dialog, but also because her point of view comes through clearly. By the time I finished the novel, I felt I could pick Jane out of a crowd, even if she were not speaking.

Shadow-7 draws the cyber-technology connection to Jane a bit further from the shadows, and brings in at least one name we're familiar with from "Our Cyber World": reporter Bridget Suarez. Allison is back, helping Jane cope with the mysteries of the technology that impacts her abilities and that of her canines.

The stars, though, are Jane and her dogs. We simply want them to succeed.

Certainly a different story line, one i didn’t want to put down at all. Jane is a great character and of course both dogs make the book a really good read.
