Mehr zum Buch

After 22 years in the Army, Craig Jackson (CJ) mastered the art of bomb detection and disposal, becoming the go-to expert for clearing explosives. Upon leaving the military, his rare skills made him a sought-after asset in the lucrative field of landmine clearance. Thriving on the adrenaline rush of his work, he established his own company and quickly found himself in Iraq, tasked with dismantling Saddam Hussein's extensive arsenal. This was Craig's dream job, allowing him to engage with vast quantities of explosive ordnance while contributing positively to the region. However, during a routine convoy in the desert, everything changed. Ambushed by a well-armed enemy force, Craig and his team were captured by Saddam's henchmen. Thrust into a brutal world of pain, Craig's focus shifted to survival. The challenges of disarming bombs paled in comparison to the daily torture he endured at the hands of his captors. As he dreams of escape, he grapples with the question of whether he can withstand the relentless torment or if he will be broken before he can find freedom.
