How Far Would You Go to Survive?
Maintenance supervisor Brian Francisco goes to sleep for the night in his Midwest apartment and wakes to find himself a prisoner aboard an oil tanker at sea. His predicament turns desperate when he learns of his captors’ intent to eventually kill him. With no clues to the reason for his capture, Francisco has only his ingenuity to fashion an escape. But even if … escape. But even if he can manage to break out of the brig, he faces a bigger problem: how to flee a ship in the middle of the ocean.
The former soldier must summon all his resources in a desperate bid to outwit the ship’s crew as well as the band of cutthroat mercenaries responsible for his abduction. Along the way, he struggles to maintain his humanity…and discover the sinister reason for his capture.

It kept you going for the entire read. But it really didn’t tell of the mission.
This book was appropriately named! An excellent story with a good plot-just a little too many deaths for my taste. I’m more of a romantic thriller type.
Detail too much
I liked this book because the main character did everything he could do to escape his circumstances and help himself. He didn’t sit around and wait for someone to come rescue him.
He wakes up on a Supertanker oil tanker in the middle of the ocean and has no idea why he is being held.
It was a reach for the main character, but an easy read at 7000 feet
This is a book that required– and quickly earned– a total suspension of disbelief. Francisco, a HVAC technician and former military, is trapped on an oil tanker and uses both skills to escape, hide and eliminate the crew and 4 mercenaries, an attack helicopter and capture the sultan who needs him as an organ donor for his daughter but ironically, ends up as the donor himself. Francisco return home and finds that his busybody neighbor who complained about barking by his dog, not only kept his dog safe while he was gone but concluded that she and her husband needed one. It was an exciting and engaging story with incredible action where a decent person prevailed because he had the fortitude and humanity to do whatever was necessary to survive. I did not think I would finish the book when I started, but did so in one rather late evening.
