Rob Walker has served in countless operations in combat zones across the globe. Now, his mission is personal.

After returning home from a combat deployment to Afghanistan, US Army Special Forces sniper Rob Walker is in a race for time to rescue his kidnapped sister from the clutches of a Mexican drug cartel.

Having seen too much during a botched drug deal, she is snatched up off the street and handed over to members of a Mexican cartel who are after their payday. Suspecting her of being sold into sex slavery to satisfy the unpaid debt, Rob must act before it’s too late. But, taken deep into the Mexican criminal underworld, Marianne completely drops off the radar.

Heading South on a quest to find her, Rob teams up with his best friend and spotter. He decides to do the only thing he can do: Commit violence and punish everyone involved in his sister’s disappearance.

Rob’s mission: Save Marianne and send a clear message of brutality to her captors.

But once a cartel hitman picks up their trail, it becomes a dangerous game of cat and mouse.

Will they get to Marianne in time? Or, will she vanish forever into the global sex trade?

Just not a very good book

Story is yawn

Character is not interesting

tried to listen to it but found myself going to podcasts

Might be ok as a free book from audible but not worth a credit

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz couldn't get into it

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Felt and like it was written by a 13 boy who has watched too many movies. So many cliche action movie lines it was almost humorous. Narrator had intonation that did not fit the moment.

Immature story time

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

The narration was horrible. There was no inflection and no emotion. There was background noises that were distracting and the sound quality was horrible. the narration made it very hard to get through the book.

The story was okay but nothing really exciting or thrilling.
