The Guardian

De: Joshua Hood

Narrado por: Scott Brick

From the USA Today bestselling author of Robert Ludlum’s Treadstone series, The Guardianis an action-packed adventure with a hint of romance that’s perfect for fans of Extraction and Romancing the Stone.

When a retired Air Force PJ with nothing to lose is hired to rescue a kidnapped American from the depths of the Congo Basin, what was supposed to be a simple mission quickly turns into a fight for survival …

As a member of the elite Air Force Pararescue, Travis Lane abides by the motto “These things we do, that others may live.” After an injury forces him to consider retirement, he is blindsided when his brother-in-law is killed in the line of duty, leaving Lane as the sole support for his sister and the family farm they can no longer afford.

Desperate for something to help them keep the farm, Lane accepts an offer to join Broadside Solutions, a private company with specially trained military operatives who provide protection for clients all over the world. But it’s trial by fire when his first mission takes him to the Democratic Republic of the Congo to find and retrieve a kidnapped American in the middle of a densely forested jungle.

Infused with the author’s own experience as a parachute infantryman, this high-octane thriller throws the reader deep into the African jungle on a rescue mission where nothing is as it seems.

got my interest

Didn't think I was going to like this story. Almost stopped listening to it. Glad I listened on, soon found myself captivated and. engrossed in the story line. E njoyed it very much.

Action packed and great narrator

Loved the detailed action and field emergency medicine. Felt like I was there. Very interesting main character. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

excellent story

great narration and great story!!! kept moving, no down time. look forward to the next one.

Topical action adventure

Perfect popcorn Saturday night action flick in a book. Great story to listen to when doing yardwork or chores.

Fast paced, never ending twists and turns!

Great story, awesome introduction to the world of both PJs and private military contractors. The details and character building really helped the reader get into the story! The only thing that was a little annoying was the need for the narrator to say “Chapter 59, swamp, DRC” before every single chapter, at a fast paced time in the story. Otherwise, fantastic listen, hope a sequel comes out soon!

Variety of settings

Fast moving, and exciting action however, some of the action made me stretch my imagination to the maximum.

Joshua Hood, All Thriller, NO FILLER!

Josh’s books continue to get better and better with each new series! Just as you think you’ve seen his best, he WOW’s you with a new story that grabs you from page one and doesn’t relinquish it’s hold on your attention until the final word. Cannot wait to see what happens next for Travis Lane! Thanks for the incredible work, Josh!
