Full Description
They came on a mission of mercy. Now they're in a fight for their lives. New York Times bestselling author Andrew Klavan delivers a heart-pounding story of what happens when a seemingly noble adventure that turns into a survival nightmare.
High schooler Will Peterson and three friends journeyed to Central America to help rebuild a school. In a poor, secluded mountain village, they won the hearts of the local people with their energy and kindness.
But in one sudden moment, everything went horribly wrong. A revolution swept the country. Now, guns and terror are everywhere--and Americans are being targeted as the first to die.
Will and his friends have got to get out fast. But streets full of killers . . . hills patrolled by armies . . . and a jungle rife with danger stand between them and the border. Their one hope of escape lies with a veteran warrior who has lost his faith and may betray them at any moment. Their one dream is to reach freedom and safety and home.
If they can just survive.
"[A] gripping story . . . The best part is the narrator, a sort of more hopeful and kindhearted Holden Caulfield, who finds himself in binds that lead him to make tough choices in the heat of the moment." --Publishers Weekly | "Fast-paced with multiple threats, genuine tension and lots of machine guns." --Kirkus | "This gripping novel will hold readers' attention from the opening pages until the end." --School Library Journal
