Baroota

The Nick Hudson Series, Book 1

De: Zach Fortier

Narrado por: Miles Taylor

Baroota is a fictional tale of Nick Hudson, an aging, retired cop attempting to get in one last mission to make a difference. He gets sucked into an off-the-books black ops mission to rescue victims of human trafficking being sold into sexual slavery.

He meets Nõnkos Zia or Nõn, a woman born in South Africa and a former victim of Muti-medicine - a type of medicine still practiced in South Africa that weaves the occult and human sacrifices into the locals belief system. She is also a victim of human trafficking, from which she barely escaped after taking revenge on her captors.

They are outsiders in a dark twisted tale of deceit, lies, and double crosses that take them to the Darien Gap in Panama, one of the most remote areas in the world, to hunt human traffickers.

Great Story.

The narrator's voice was clear and the audio had no glitches. Very enjoyable listen. I would recommend this audio because the story had great action.

Non stop action

I received this book for free from the author/narrator for an honest and unbiased review

This book was a fast paced, non stop action book. It's definitely not for the young. It's about sex trade, human trafficking etc... I really enjoyed this book and how it was a fast paced, there were no lul's in the book. If there are more books to come I will be first in line to get them. The narrator did a great job. This book is worth a credit.

Happy Reading/Listening!!!

An action-packed tale of second chance glory

Our hero is Nick, a smart-mouthed cocky former cop and ex-marine who is retired, but itching to get back into some kind of action. I wish we had gotten a little more back story on Nick. I think the story would have been enriched if we knew some more about this self-proclaimed a$$-hole who has a personal vendetta against the men who perpetuate human trafficking. On a seemingly serendipitous occasion, an acquaintance offers him a chance for second glory...on a top secret, under-the-radar mission to extract the victims of human sex trafficking and eliminate their captives. His personal vendetta won't allow him to refuse, so he signs up, even though he feels that something isn't quite right with the whole thing. We then meet Nõnkos (Nõn); a former victim of human trafficking who has escaped and made a life as a freelance reporter. She also joins the mission, under the impression that she is to document everything to create awareness among the public about the worldwide human trafficking problem. They soon both discover that the whole mission was a guise for something else...something sinister that thrusts them into a remote area of Panama where they must fight for their lives. The book is short because the author wastes no space on fluff. In a way I wish he had taken a little more time for character development, but I still certainly enjoyed the story. The narration was good...especially foreign accents. Spot on in my opinion, and really brought the story to life.

I received this book at no charge via AudioBookBoom in exchange for my honest review.

A Thriller, ala Heart of Darkness

What made the experience of listening to Baroota the most enjoyable?

Strong adventure thriller, similar in some ways to Joseph Conrads's Heart of Darkness.

What did you like best about this story?

Evil villians, not so pure "heroes". Really good narration by Miles Taylor. What wasn't there to like.

Which scene was your favorite?

After the captives are whittled down and the main male and female protagonists are on the run. Edge of your seat.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It was. I got right back to it after a few brief interruptions. lol

Any additional comments?

This was good!
