Resumen del Editor

From the USA Today bestselling author of Robert Ludlum’s Treadstone series, The Guardianis an action-packed adventure with a hint of romance that’s perfect for fans of Extraction and Romancing the Stone.

When a retired Air Force PJ with nothing to lose is hired to rescue a kidnapped American from the depths of the Congo Basin, what was supposed to be a simple mission quickly turns into a fight for survival …

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.

Outstanding!

Another outstanding book by Joshua Hood and brought to life by the awesome narrator Scott Brick.

Great storyline

It’s a great story. Reminds me of the Mitch Rapp series I like. Will put this on my must get list going forward

Great action, perfect hero

I enjoyed the storyline. One of the main characters, the female one, annoyed me a bit with some stuff that she did. were a bit annoying and out of place. There is barely any gratitude in it at all. I did like the team Aunt. the ending was a bit of a shocker for me. The loss of any team members is always hard. yet, it was kind of predictable. The less that an author builds up a character or helps you to relate to them, the more likely they are going to be killed off. It is an unfortunate side effect of being an author that they overlook the predictability of that aspect. other than that, it was a good short action book. And it came with my audible plus membership, so even better! I think I will look up this author a little bit more and the narrator was awesome as well.

got my interest

Didn't think I was going to like this story. Almost stopped listening to it. Glad I listened on, soon found myself captivated and. engrossed in the story line. E njoyed it very much.

Action packed and great narrator

Loved the detailed action and field emergency medicine. Felt like I was there. Very interesting main character. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

excellent story

great narration and great story!!! kept moving, no down time. look forward to the next one.

Variety of settings

Fast moving, and exciting action however, some of the action made me stretch my imagination to the maximum.

Topical action adventure

Perfect popcorn Saturday night action flick in a book. Great story to listen to when doing yardwork or chores.

Top notch!

Realistic story with great characters and Scott Brick is well, Scott Brick….one of the best in the business. My first Joshua Hood novels, hopefully many more to come.

Hoping for a series

This is the first book that I've read by Joshua Hood and I very much enjoyed it. Makes me wonder why I haven't come across a novel that's centered around a PJ before. Sure, there were a couple questionable plot lines, but Travis Lane is a great character and I'm hoping for more. Scott Brick did a fine job narrating. All-in-all, a nice surprise.
