Rezensionen / Stimmen
"I couldn't put this book down! It's a great read-well written and full of suspense, action, and emotion. It's a fascinating look into the world of first responders and the calculated risks they undertake to help those in need. It makes a compelling case as to how far the human spirit will go to survive and how much risk and effort other human spirits will make to try and save a fellow traveler in this human experience we call mortality. Rescued should be on the reading and Christmas gift list of all who delight in sitting down on a cold winter's night with a book that both increases the pulse rate and warms the heart!" -Mark Meaker, Fire Chief (Retired)
