Publisher's summary

His name was Jim Racine, and years ago he had been a top heavyweight contender in the United States. But now he's over the hill and desperate, so he takes a fight in a corrupt South American country - and accidentally kills a young man in the ring. The public outrage forces an investigation, and the government refuses to return his passport. Racine is in limbo, but he figures if he can get to the U.S. Ambassador, his problems will be over. But when he crashes the Ambassador's party, he runs into a group of young terrorists who kidnap Racine along with the Ambassador and a few of his friends.

When the terrorists murder a couple of bystanders in cold blood, Racine knows the hostages are next. But he's a survivor, and they're going to have a hell of a time killing him - even if his only escape involves taking all the hostages with him.

Good action drama

Strong drama with several people dying. Corruption abounds and difficult situations to navigate to escape. The survivors are sure to get PTSD.

Story was entertaining .

Love this narrator, but had a hard time believing that voice was a fighter. He was great as a computer nerd. Then again, Mike Tyson doesn't have the voice you would expect a fighter to have!

Good book

I really like listening to the books Ron Faust writes! This one seemed a little rushed it was too short. More explaining in the end. I wanted to know more

Pronunciation, Please!

Good story, well written. But PLEASE, narrators, if you're hired to perform a story with foreign language places and characters, learn to pronounce the foreign words correctly!!!

uugghh!

Made it through book but don't know why I continued to listen to it other than the fact that I had invested so much to into it hoping it would get better. It never did. Story was pointless nd the narrator was worthless.
