Angus Conn has seen more than his share of human calamity as a seasoned foreign correspondent, but reporting on the Syrian conflict kicked him in the emotional gut. After the ruthless Syrian regime cut off power, water, medical aid, and all other supplies to the decimated village of Al Waer, in the besieged outskirts of Homs, Angus is presented with a once-in-a-career opportunity to track the trade of ancient Syrian artifacts for opposition weapons. As the only outside hope for the civilian population to survive, he returns home and secretly works to substitute the illegal weapons for a privately-funded humanitarian relief convoy to break the siege and evacuate Syrian orphans.
Before he returns to Syria to oversee his evacuation plan, Angus foolishly agrees to take Jake Westin, a hot young movie star, to accompany him on assignment as research for his next big role. When Jake secretly smuggles himself into Syria against Angus’ wishes, they must fight to survive hostile Syrian troops, a rebel kidnapping, constant thirst and hunger, barrel bombs from the sky, and each other as they race to bring the besieged children of Al Waer out of Syria with their lives and their story.

Critic reviews
“Looking into the Sun is an action-packed, engrossing tale that puts a face on the heartbreaking struggle of children caught up in the war in Syria. It’s one of those rare books whose story will remain with readers long after they put it down....” (Peter Telep, number one New York Times best-selling author of The Secret Corps)
“An engrossing and authentic thriller. Remember the name Todd Tavolazzi. You’ll be seeing it a lot.” (Grant Blackwood, New York Times best-selling author of the Briggs Tanner series; also the coauthor of the number one New York Times best seller Dead or Alive, with Tom Clancy, and The Kill Switch, with James Rollins)
And now you have an option of hearing the story performed by Mike Eberhardt who brings its characters to life. His voice is perfectly suited to this gritty tale of humanity held int he crosshairs of a senseless war.
I've heard that Todd is working on a second book and that this one is in the process of being made into a film. Based on what I have read and now heard, I'm looking forward to more from both the author and narrator and will definitely see the movie.

The narration performance was superb. This story has a lot of characters (various ages, gender and nationality) and they quickly felt very real due to the way the narrator brought the author's word to life.
Highly recommend
