Download Download Burning Shield: The Jason Schechterle Story from mediafire, rapishare, and mirror link When a taxi smashed into police officer Jason Schechterle’s patrol car, the fireball that consumed the vehicle should have killed him. But by a series of small miracles, Schechterle survived: Dying would have been easier. As he would learn only after his own horrific ordeal, law enforcement officers across the country were perishing in similar fires, trapped inside burning Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptors.
Schechterle, who began a long, gruesome, and gut-wrenching battle back to health, would also take on Ford Motor Company in court to stop the heinous and ultimately preventable deaths. Interweaving narratives of human triumph, medical marvels, police procedure and high-stakes legal showdown, this “inspiring true story” (Kirkus Reviews) reveals a rare human being with an undeniable will to live.
Burning Shield: The Jason Schechterle Story exemplifies the mystery and beauty of the human spirit, and the healing power of love.
“A maimed cop fights to regain his life in this inspiring true story… Author [Landon J.] Napoleon scrupulously guides readers through Schechterle’s teen years, spent absorbing the sounds of REO Speedwagon, excelling at golf and falling in love—and into his laudable career in the Air Force.
"Faithfully documented is every bump and nook on his road toward achieving his childhood dream: wearing a Phoenix Police Department badge. As the enthusiastic rookie got his bearings in the routines of police work—which involved more picking up shoplifters at Wal-Mart than high-octane shootouts—his future fate was darkly foreshadowed by events elsewhere.
"All across the country, police officers were dying in exploding Ford Crown Victorias, and attorney Patrick J. McGroder III—“the legal equivalent of The Terminator ”—aimed to make Ford pay. Schechterle would be crucial in helping him. Napoleon, the author of several crime novels, is skilled at painting a scene in slangy strokes while balancing plotlines… this true story reads like a novel."
—Kirkus Reviews
“Burning Shield: The Jason Schechterle Story is a powerful, inspiring story of one man’s will to survive and to thrive in the face of horrific injuries. It is also a keen look into the workings of our police men and women and the close bonds that knit them together. We admire them, and we especially admire Jason Schechterle.”
—Janet Napolitano, former Arizona governor (2002-2009) and Arizona attorney general (1998-2002)
“Sad, exciting, life-changing and emotional, Burning Shield: The Jason Schechterle Story is an amazing story of one man’s triumph over tragedy with the support of an entire community.”
—Jack Ballentine, former homicide detective and author of Murder for Hire
“Jason Schechterle’s life has been one of joy, tragedy, love, and hope. In Burning Shield: The Jason Schechterle Story, he motivates us with the power of positive thinking and living his life with optimism and gratitude. We learn the importance of chasing our dreams, but more importantly, overcoming our nightmares while touching and impacting lives all around us. This man is an inspiration and his story must be read and shared.”

I co-hosted the first event since this book came out - The Casa Blanca Book Club in Scottsdale, Arizona on Wednesday, February 26th. My phone has been ringing off the hook ever since. This is a must read book about someone, by all rights , who should not be alive today. Jason is the most inspirational person I have ever met (after about some 57 surgeries to rebuild his face). Landon Napoleon is an outstanding author who everybody will be talking about for years to come and a real rising star.
