Description

When disaster strikes, evil often follows—this is the untold mission to bring a boy home.

In the shattered streets of post-earthquake Haiti, chaos reigned—collapsed buildings, desperate survivors, and 10,000 felons set loose into a lawless landscape. Amid this devastation, a three-year-old American boy named Gardy was abducted from a church meeting and ransomed for $20,000.

In this gripping, first-hand account, David Burnell—fresh from high-threat protection training—was unexpectedly tasked with leading a covert, high-risk mission deep into the Haitian mountains to find the child. Partnered with a trusted brother-in-arms known as “Bravo,” they navigated armed gangs, human traffickers, and the dark underworld of post-quake Haiti in a relentless pursuit for justice.

This story of danger, moral resolve, and brotherhood under fire is an unflinching testament to those willing to risk everything when the call comes.
