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.

Schechterle, who began a long, gruesome, and gut-wrenching battle back to health, would also take on Ford Motor Company to stop the heinous and ultimately preventable deaths. Interweaving narratives of human triumph and high-stakes legal showdown, this "inspiring true story" (Kirkus Reviews) reveals a rare human being with an undeniable will to live. This gripping real-life biography exemplifies the mystery and beauty of the human spirit, and the healing power of love.

Review
"This gripping biography of Jason Schechterle's battle for life and justice celebrates the resilience of the human spirit while condemning corporate greed... This enthralling biography injects the intimacy of fiction into a true story of human endurance. Readers are continuously reminded that Jason Schechterle is flesh, bones, and blood, not a fictional character, and they are invited to experience his terror, frustration, and ultimate triumph."
--Publishers Weekly
"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
"A maimed cop fights to regain his life in this inspiring true story... [Landon J.] 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
"Landon J. Napoleon displays a flair for detail in this fast-moving book... The third-person account is an inspiring read, even for those with a passing familiarity with the story from the news."
--The Arizona Republic

If this story was not true you would not beleive it was possible
By C. L. Thomas
As a former Phoenix Police Department Reserve Officer and Arizona Attorney General Special Agent of twenty-five years, I had followed the story of PPD Officer Jason Schechterle after his horrifying accident and near death when the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor patrol car he was driving was hit in the rear and exploded into a fire ball nearly killing him. But, I had no idea what a truly amazing man he is until meeting him in person and reading this book. Author Landon J. Napoleon has perfectly captured the extraordinary and almost unbelievable story of this funny, intelligent, thoughtful and dedicated police officer and his beautiful and amazing wife as they dealt with the disfiguring and incapacitating injuries of the fourth degree burns of his face, arms and hands. Author Napoleon clearly knows Jason and captures his voice as well as the humorous way police officers look at their world. The secondary story is the very real and tragic way the Ford executives refused to acknowledge that their Crown Victoria was fatally flawed even as numerous police officers and troopers were burned alive in those cars. You will probably cry as you read parts of this book, but you will also laugh and in the end you will get to share the triumphant ending of both stories.

Burning Shield, biography of Jason Schechterle (Phoenix police officer who was so badly burned) by Landon Napolron
By Sandra Ranger Baeder
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.

and it shapes the perspective on life to better align it which the most important values we have
By kevin brown
Anyone who is thinking about serving their local community or their country should read this book. Or anyone who has just found themselves in a rut and needs a slap-in-the-face reminder of the real world going on around them. It reminds us of the strength of the human spirit that is in each of us if we have the courage to follow it, and it shapes the perspective on life to better align it which the most important values we have: love and sacrifice. Great read. Powerful message made without doing anything more than telling the story of one family’s perseverance through the unthinkable.
