| Summary |
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. "Joshua Hood is rapidly becoming a powerhouse in the thriller realm, and The Guardian is his best work yet. From the killing fields of the Arabian Peninsula to the dark recesses of Sub-Saharan Africa, The Guardian is a smashmouth beginning to an explosive new series that explores both the savagery and the nobility of man." "Nobody writes bare-knuckled, in-your-face action like Joshua Hood." "The Guardian is an explosive start to what is sure to be an addictive series by Joshua Hood. Packed with relentless action, breathless pacing, and plenty of twists, this is a can't-miss thrill ride by one of the best authors working in the genre today." |
