Resumen del Editor

In this First Responders novel, paramedic Jim Stockbridge responds to an EMS call in the ghetto and finds his best friend brutally stabbed and shot. Consumed with rage, he hunts down Sid Drake's killers and renders his own form of justice. But soon Jim finds himself lost, tangling with a vicious street gang and its ruthless warlord, William "J-Rock" Jackson.

And so it begins, a long dark journey that pushes Jim deep into his own personal world of bitterness and revenge, and ultimately to the brink of disaster.

Haunting nightmares ensue. Endless nights. A brutal biker gang nearly kills him. An angry detective wants him behind bars. And Jim's girlfriend, Dr. Valerie Vick, the only woman he's ever truly loved, has just made a painful announcement: She's leaving. Suddenly Jim's entire world seems to be falling apart, but through the leadership of two remarkable men he finds a new relationship with the Lord and new purpose for his life. But Jim's enemy hasn't forgotten him. J-Rock is out for blood...and Jim is his prey.

J-Rock's trap is both elaborate and cruel, and when Jim falls into it, he ends up in a hospital bed with a bullet in his spine, his willpower broken, and his proud spirit crushed. He finally reaches his lowest point and in a moment of quiet desperation cries out to God. And his prayers are heard.

But Jim's ultimate fight is yet to come - a fight to the death on the deck of a sinking boat with Valerie secured in the hold below. Will he succeed? Can he defeat J-Rock once and for all? Can he save the beautiful love of his life from a cold drowning death, and carry the gospel back to the ghetto street where his best friend died? He must, but to do so will require strength he never knew, the kind of God-given power known only to a man who has truly been...Tested By Fire.

Suspense thriller down by the water

What made the experience of listening to Tested by Fire the most enjoyable?

What made listening to the book a great experience was that I did not want to turn the book off. Sat in my car a few times because I could not turn it off. The narrator gave the characters such colorful accents.

The main character is Jim and he seems to be always getting to trouble. Trouble he could have avoided but doesn't or trouble doesn't pass him by.

When Jim was in the hospital, the banter between him and the nurse Helga. The narrator did a nice job with the dialogue.

Intense, realistic, impossible to put down

What did you love best about Tested by Fire?

As a firefighter I loved the realistic technical aspects of the book. Too often books about firefighters and paramedics are highly inaccurate, however Tested by Fire hit the nail on the head with accuracy and suspense.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Jim Stockbridge. As a firefighter I connected with this paramedic. Being in a similar field of work made him feel like someone I worked with a knew.

What does Joshua Bennington bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He helps bring the characters to life and make it feel more realistic. He did a great job and made it very enjoyable.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Suspense and intrigue at it's finest.
