Hostage Zero Book

I'm giving this a 3.5 read- with a splash of a 4 star read. HOSTAGE ZERO is the second of the Jonathan "Digger" Grave novels. "Digger" is a hostage negotiator who does little negotiating and more covert rescuing, rescuing people the government can't or will not attempt to repatriate with their families.

Digger runs an orphanage called Resurrection House, and one early morning someone broke in and then kidnapped a couple of his boys - Jeremy Schuler and Evan Guinn - shooting the caretaker in the process. Not only will Digger do everything in his power to get these 2 boys back- but the bigger question is WHY on earth were they taken to begin with?

With Digger and his team they will do everything in their power to get these boys back safely.The story moves from location to location -from the wilds of Alaska to the heat and humidity of Colombia - and slowly but surely the stories merge and we make sense of the kidnappings.

Then comes the mission to get the boys back and there you have your good shoot 'em up, blow 'em up read, and in this, involves Columbia, cocaine country, and child slavery.

There was one or two times where I lost some of the plot in this story- maybe because the author really went into such detail - but that didn't stop me from just plowing through it- I did enjoy this book and I really do love the Jonathan Digger Grave character and all of his crew members. When ever I am in the mood for this type of 'hero' book- this is one of my 'go to series' !!
