What this book is about
When Clyde Barr emerges from years living off the grid to discover his sister has been kidnapped by a brutal drug organization, he launches a relentless one-man rescue mission. Armed with extraordinary survival skills and fierce determination, Clyde cuts a bloody path through the Colorado wilderness and criminal underworld alike. Storey introduces a compelling new action hero: a man completely at odds with modern society yet utterly lethal when backed into a corner.
