Description
TRAPPED IN THE CONGO JUNGLE. HUNTED BY AN UNSEEN ENEMY.
Special Agent Vin Cooper has survived the deadliest job going: bodyguard to bent politicians in Afghanistan. Now, he's got the cushiest: babysitting a pair of hip-hop megastars as they're flown out to Rwanda to perform a sympathy gig for the US army.
Most agents would kill for this assignment. Cooper will be lucky to get out alive.
When their helicopter crash-lands in the Congo, Cooper must think fast. He's trapped in a snake-infested warzone. No radio. No supplies. Just two spoilt superstars that he's sworn to protect... and a sneaking suspicion that this was no accident.
IT'S FIFTY MILES TO SAFETY.
VIN COOPER WILL HAVE TO FIGHT FOR EVERY ONE OF THEM.

Reviews / Votes
Slam-bang mystery-action thriller. Rollins can tell a story all right * The Age * A white-knuckle read on a par with anything that James Patterson or Nelson DeMille might offer * Library Journal * A thumping good page-turner... takes off from page one and never lets up. A rollicking ride and Rollins has made the action as authentic as possible. Essential reading for any plane flight. Highly recommended * Sun Herald * Sucked me right in... punchy, Chandleresque wit... take this one to the beach and you'll leave with sunburn * Sydney Morning Herald *More details
