About this listen

When a food storage depot in famine-struck South Sudan is torched, American aid worker Brie Stewart flees, only to land in a market where she's the next item up for auction. Is the attack on the aid facility another assault upon the war-torn fledgling democracy, or has her family set her up as a pawn in their quest for oil rights?

Chief Warrant Officer Sebastian Ford crossed paths with Brie years ago when she was a shill for her family's company, pushing a pipeline that threatened his tribe's land. Determined to lead the rescue operation to save her, he won't let her abduction - or the attraction that flares between them - get in the way of settling their unfinished business.

The Green Beret's skills are put to the test in the flooded grasslands of South Sudan, where they must battle nature and dangerous factions who are after more than oil. Bastian and Brie put their hearts on the line as they find themselves embroiled in a conflict that extends beyond country and continent. Together they must douse the spark before it reaches the flashpoint and engulfs everything they hold dear.

An absolutely brilliant story from Rachel Grant. It's not often that you find a story where you have to stop and walk away because it's just too intense. This is one. A masterpiece with a complex and complicated plot, wonderful, sympathetic characters and gripping writing, this story deals with important world issues. Just read it.

Greg Tremblay does a masterful job in reading this book. With distinctive voices for each character and plenty of expression, he is a joy to listen to, and with each subsequent listening, one appreciates his skill even more. Kudos.

A masterpiece

We listened to the audio rendition, enjoying the drama as it unfolded.
The ideas that radiated out, about subjects that a person in a "Civilized" society doesn't even contemplate. Slavery, starvation, lack of water. Sanitary situations for young girls. All these situations and more are looked at in a way, that brings the impact across of what life in Sudan and other 3rd world countries is really like.
For armchair travelers, it's a good yarn. For the younger readers, they may view life a little differently, from reading /listening to such tales.
It is read I would recommend.

A seat of your pants drama
