Summary

Second in an action-adventure series starring 14-year-old Jack Courtney - a hero to rival Alex Rider - from worldwide best-selling author Wilbur Smith.

Jack and his friends, Amelia and Xander, are in Zanzibar diving for lost treasure to support Jack's mother's coral protection project. Going further than usual on their last day, their dive boat is lured into a trap and captured by Somali pirates. Determined that his mother shouldn't pay a ransom for their release, Jack won't give up his attempts to escape.

Transferred to a militia training camp for boy soldiers, the trio's only hope is the resourceful Somali boy called Mo who befriends them. Can they outwit the ruthless General Sir and his merciless troops in the second gripping adventure from the authors of Cloudburst?

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Disappointing book.

Not up the standard of previous books, nor the detail. The second author clearly not up to the same high standard
I do not enjoy the narrator his voice or style either. Very disappointing and I have listened to many Audible books!
