    “Without Redemption” by David Griffith
    Filled with tension and suspense, this book is simply magnificent.
    Lonnie Bowers is not your ordinary cowboy.  When riding broncs is no longer an option, Lonnie takes an assignment from Frederick Roseman to go to Costa Rica.  Only this time, he brings along his wife and baby.  It was supposed to be an easy assignment, but things go terribly wrong.  Falsely accused for a set-up, Lonnie must race back to his family and get them out of the cabin before a drug lord and his hired assassins arrive to exact revenge.
    Every hour made the situation seem more bleak for the Bowers family, whom I liked very much.  The jungle they fled through was unfamiliar to them, and the men chasing them weren’t interested in taking hostages.  They also had an unfair advantage: a highly skilled tracker who couldn’t afford to fail.  His life depended on him stopping the Bowers from escaping.
    This thrilling race is filled with action that hardly allows you — or the Bowers — to catch your breath.  As the family journeys through unimaginable danger, you’re there every step of the way.  The author was skilled at painting the jungle around me, making it alive and dreadful.  Freedom felt very far away.  But I couldn’t lose hope.  I cared about Lonnie, Clarissa, and Conor too much.  And so will you.
    I highly recommend this fast-paced and totally gripping novel.
