Publisher's summary

From the USA Today bestselling author of Robert Ludlum’s Treadstone series, Burn Out is a no-holds-barred thriller from the “master of action” (Publishers Weekly) Joshua Hood.

Becoming one of the US Forest Service’s elite smokejumpers has been Jake Slade’s dream. Parachuting into the path of a raging fire and beating it into submission isn’t a job for the faint of heart, but after four years in Folsom, he’s ready to prove himself. After surviving the grueling six-week training course, he thinks he’s ready for anything nature has to dish out.

But when fighting a wildfire gets Slade involved in a string of murders deep in the mountains of California’s notorious Emerald Triangle, Slade finds himself caught between a disgraced DEA agent trying to solve his final case and the ruthless cartel hit man determined to kill them both.

What began as a straightforward search and rescue mission swiftly turns into a harrowing run for his life …

Interesting and full of action

Unique story. Never thought of using a firefighter smoke jumper in a thriller. In this story it turns out there were a lot more bad guys than the cartel. Great description of the rugged terrain. I did have a little trouble believing that Slade and Buck would be left behind to fend for themselves. Especially since a swat team member was almost killed.

A good read!!!

With so much distrust towards one another, one can easily deduce the deeper meaning of the title. Plenty of twists and turns, maybe a little too many. But the story was very, very well written. Great characters and action. Looking forward to Hood’s next novel!!!
