Nothing Short of Dying by Erik Storey

4.0

Story of a man who seeks refuge from the rest of the world in order to make peace with his past only to end up in a conflict with drug cartel that abducted his sister.

Clyde Barr is rather melancholic person that tries to redeem himself from his past. He tries to live outside the society, wandering through the wilderness and living his own life in peace. But he has an Achilles heel of sorts - he is prompted to action whenever he sees injustice and oppression, he moves in to help whomever is in distress and this just gets him into deeper problems and conflicts. He goes through everything without a second thought on his well-being, he sees it as a purgatory that he has to walk through to achieve redemption. Literary his word is his bond and when he promises something he will not stray until promise is fulfilled.

This is a fast read, with lots of interesting characters, relationships and lots of action.

Highly recommended to all thriller and action fans.
