Suspense
After a number of earthquakes hammer the Sierra Madre region
of Mexico, Grupo Verdugo, a splinter group of cartel enforcers, takes control
of the drug shipping routes through that territory. Caught in the middle, a
small orphanage high in the mountains, desperate for supplies to care for the
children and the battered earthquake victims, reaches out to Abel Yeager for
help.
Yeager and his friend Victor agree to deliver the needed
food and medicine. But Grupo Verdugo seems to have a special interest in
starving out the clergy and forcing them to bend to their will. They send a man
known as the Executioner to stop anyone daring to assist the people.
Yeager and Victor are in for the biggest fight of their
lives as they are forced to move forty children, a dozen sick and injured
patients, and one feisty doctor out of the mission and through mountains
infested with vicious killers.

REVIEW
I enjoy Scott Bell's writing. He is always able to take me away from the moment and allow me to travel to a different world.
This time around, I read Scott's work while on the plane traveling to New York. It was my first time traveling there and I was extremely excited. So I needed something to occupy my time.
I picked up Scott's book and bamm, before I knew it, I was landing in New York and finishing the last chapter. I flew through the book.
It was easy enough to keep my mind busy and quite a page turner. I literally didn't put it down once.
As always I recommend Scott Bell's books - The first one was good the second was better!
I was given this book in exchange for an honest opinion.
4 Stars!
