“A real page turner.  This is a powerful and fast moving book of the compelling tales of the behind-the-scenes action, the joys and pitfalls of Olympic greatness.  A story of courage, generosity and compassion.  The quality of the dialogue and intricacy of the plot will keep you on the edge of your seat.  A MEDAL OF HONOR is a true delight filled with excitement, plot twists and even a sprinkle of romance.  Highly recommended!”

“A wonderful story about Olympic competition, about biathlon, and above all, about human courage, generosity and compassion.”           

               -Lowell Thomas, Jr.
               Former Lt. Governor of Alaska

 “[Morton] weaves a tale of strength versus weakness and good versus evil, in which the seduction of winning at all costs is a constant temptation.  It is full of excitement, camaraderie, fun, and romance.  Like a World Cup competitor, this story hops around the globe and visits exotic winter sports venues. 

               -Nordic Skier (Newsletter of the Nordic Skiing Association of Anchorage, AK)

“I loved it.  Couldn’t put it down.  I plan to use it for my Sports Literature class.”

               -High School English teacher

“A MEDAL OF HONOR is an engrossing, fast-paced read.  Morton touches on several themes including behind-the-scene Olympic politics, drug use in Olympic competition, ethics of winning, motivation, guilt, friendship, honesty, patriotism, and the struggles of becoming an adult.” 

               -Vermont Sports Today

“It’s a page-turner, a lovely book.” 

               -Vermont Public Radio

“Rather than explaining his sport, Morton dramatizes it.  Immersed in the heat of competition along with the book’s hero, a reader comes away with a real appreciation of biathlon.  Far from glorifying the Olympics, Morton reveals the stresses of competition and the unrealistically high expectations.  He approaches the subject of illegal performance enhancement head-on.
