"The Intrepid Brotherhood is very interesting read. It is a narrative about beating your head against an establishment that has made up a problem that doesn't really need to be solved and doesn't care the people damaged."

-William G. Dearing, Former Power Marketing Director Chelan County PUD

"These real life "Game of Thrones" episodes are a cautionary tale for leaders and governing boards. An educational retelling of experiences, the author underscores that people-centric leaders who create healthy cultures and inspire others with inclusion, empathy, mutual accountability, compassion, and kindness rise while others fall."

-Mark Bolz, Information Technology Professional, Former member of the IT staff at Chelan County PUD

"This true story reads like a script for a Netflix or Amazon original series like "House of Cards". There are a lot of "one minute manager" type books out there with behavioral recipes for success. However, not many reveal that the ladder to 'success' may require difficult choices that may compromise your integrity, morals, or ethics."

-Charles D. Berrie, Retired Assistant General Manager, Grant County Public Utility District and former Power Marketing staff member at Chelan County PUD

"Part management self-help, part memoir, this unique book helps to Identify the evil person who wants your position or wants to destroy a rival. This book should be required reading for all future members of a Board such as Commissioners, Directors, and Trustees."

-Randy Whitaker, retired General Manager, Harney Electric Cooperative and former Engineering Director at Chelan County PUD

"A captivating, informing, and gripping story of courage and commitment to ensuring public trust. The author's relentless pursuit of the truth is inspiring and serves as a powerful reminder of the need for public accountability."

-Gene Sharratt, Ph.D., Senior Research Advisor at the Center for Educational Effectiveness and Former Superintendent, North Central Educational Service District, Wenatchee, WA

"An 'Intrepid' crew that caused change... The changes that grew out of this challenge are notable... We would not be where we are at the PUD had this series of events not occurred. We are better because they did."

-Dennis Bolz, Four Term Commissioner at Chelan County PUD

"You need to read "The Intrepid Brotherhood' to understand that the desire for unquestionable power in management-and acting with blind trust-can allow some employees and commissioners to lose their moral compass."

-Werner Janssen, Former Chelan PUD Commissioner

"Gordon captures the reign of an unfortunate man who caused many to suffer and others of us to endure. The book, an entertaining and easy read, rings true and underscores the importance of character in a leader or, in this case, lack thereof; plus it highlights the courage of those who stand in opposition."

-Duane Whitley was the IT Operations Supervisor

"The larger story of "Intrepid Brotherhood" was played out again and again in organizations big and small across the world. The story has larger implications, and perhaps will be studied by historians who try to make sense out of the changes that the computer revolution wrought for society."
