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.

An outstanding book!
Very good book lots of action and unpredictable
Couldn’t put it down.
Lively action throughout, with great characters to connect with.
This book took place on a tanker at sea. The way the hero sabotaged the ship was extremely clever.
Couldn’t wait to find out the reason for the stories main plot.
If you loved the Die Hard movies you will like this book!
Loved this book it kept me interested the whole time and was hard to put down
Very realistic. Twist at the end surprised me. Hero was very believable. This book kept me reading to the last page.
You sit at the edge of your seat reading this and wondering how it is going to turn out…….couldn’t put it down once the first page was turned……
Great pacing, detail but doesn’t get bogged down. Quick problem and quick solutions. Not deep but very readable. Ending was surprising enough to be satisfying and believable.
It was interesting and scary to think it may be happening in real life. What is a human life really worth when someone with the money and resources wants that body for revenge or other purposes.
The protagonist has unsurvivable odds, but he puts together his military training, a childhood cruise where he was free to explore a ship, and his work as an air-conditioning repairman to survive being kidnapped and imprisoned on a ship somewhere on the sea. Some challenges are a bit of a stretch but I found myself being swept up in the drama. He’s a good guy, worries about his dog , and chooses not to kill certain of the crew who are just as reluctant to be on the ship as he is. I enjoyed it . A lot.
Gradebook very Innovative on the part of the main character who was excellent. I enjoyed all the characters and while the plot was a little bit far out it still was very very entertaining would highly recommend it.
I loved this book! I honestly could not put it down! Very engaging, interesting, killing but you don’t really feel bad, MacGuyverish. Highly recommend!
Very entertaining! Great character!
I spent most of the book trying to figure out the “why” , but had no success. It certainly kept me turning the pages.
It grabs from the first page and never lets go. I reluctantly put my Kindle down to go to work. It was written in an interesting way. A little predictable. A little over the top. But so captivating. Predictable at the end. But we’ll handled. I liked it very much.
Well written with interesting characters.
Best book I have read in a long time
