Brad Jacobs is strapped for cash...But what if his biggest payday yet, is also a poisoned chalice? Some call Brad Jacobs a ghost. Others, an urban legend. The former Marine has spilt the blood of soldiers, criminals and rulers alike, and it's said no mortal man is beyond his reach. But for all his deadly power, no one ever told him that fighting evil and saving souls would be so damned...expensive. International flights and cutting-edge weaponry don't come cheap, and Brad's good deeds aren't funded by the taxpayer's dime. It seems his new venture with best friend Ving might be defeated by the most depressing adversary of credit card bills. So when the CEO of a major oil company is kidnapped, the payday Team Dallas needs so badly is dangled before them, ripe for the picking. A simple ransom exchange with a few gun toting rebels in the jungles of Borneo, Indonesia. Maybe they'll stop for a holiday in Bali on the way home. But Brad's pot of gold isn't buried at the end of a rainbow. Instead it's deep in the heart of one of the remotest jungles on Earth; home to man-eating pythons, brain crawling parasites and Jemaah Islamiyah, a terrorist group renowned for hundreds of horrific civilian murders. Nothing Brad and his team can't manage of course, until they learn their enemy is not quite what it seems, and the monsters they fight are little more than fleas on the back of a much bigger beast.
Scott Conrad is an Action Adventure writer who lives in Orange County, California. His most recent book "Track Down Africa" was just recently published on Amazon Kindle.
Scott enjoys action and adventure on a daily basis, from spending time on his boat at Lake Mohave to mountain biking the local trails in the Santa Ana Mountains. He can usually be found outside having fun and looking for the next great adventure.
Insight into happenings involving a culture that astounds in its cruelty is what you will encounter in this adventure. The heroes of the novel are bigger than life but still have human frailties that make them both understandable and more realistic than a superhero. In spite of some of the harsh treatment, that rains down on anyone unfortunate to choose a path deep into the dense forests of this setting will perhaps shock you and get your blood coursing through your veins.
I liked this story because it held my interest and I liked the characters well enough to want them to succeed in their rescue mission. There are a lot of good moments in the pages of this novel. Enjoy.
I decided to read this book because my Uncle worked for an oil company that sent him to Borneo. My cousin was born there. This is a edge of your seat story with both side trying their best to kill our 7 heroes. It has all the ingredients to kill you reading. I must say I will have to get the other 5 books. I didn’t realize this was the last book in the series. Good read.
This latest installment of the Team Dallas adventures is just as good as the previous ones. Another rollicking tale full of action and adventure. Looking forward to the next book in this series!!!
Another great read from start to finish. I really like all of the characters who form Team Dallas. As usual, lots of action. I will now read book number 6 Track Down El Salvador. Keep up the good work Scott Conrad. A well deserved 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Decent read but a bit slow in parts Decent characters coming together to thwart a kidnapping Many subplots within the book were slightly distracting from the main story Having said all that it was a good read overall
A very good thriller by Scott Conrad. The characters were interesting and the plot was intense. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
