Description
From the “master of action” (Publishers Weekly) and USA Today bestselling author of Robert Ludlum’s Treadstone series comes a new thriller as intense and fast paced as The Bourne Identity.
As a member of the elite Air Force Pararescue, Travis Lane abides by the motto “These things we do, that others may live.” After an injury forces him to consider retirement, he is blindsided when his brother-in-law is killed in the line of duty, leaving Lane as the sole support for his sister and the family farm they can no longer afford.
Desperate for something to help them keep the farm, Lane accepts an offer to join Broadside Solutions, a private company with specially trained military operatives who provide protection for clients all over the world. But it’s trial by fire when his first mission takes him to the Democratic Republic of the Congo to find and retrieve a kidnapped American in the middle of a densely forested jungle.
Infused with the author’s own experience as a parachute infantryman, this high-octane thriller throws the reader deep into the African jungle on a rescue mission where nothing is as it seems.

Featured Reviews

The book is a great start to a new series by the author. Very fast paced book that you won't want to put down. The storyline is easy easy to follow and fun to read. The plot has a few story lines that all tie together very well., same with all of the characters.
The story follows Travis Lane as his military career ends to finding a way to save his family farm joining a private contractor. The story then follows his first mission and what a disaster that becomes.
Would definitely recommend this book and author. Looking forward to the next book in the series.
