From the USA Today bestselling author of Robert Ludlum’s Treadstone series, Burn Out is a no holds barred thriller from the “master of action” (Publishers Weekly).
Becoming one of the US Forest Service’s elite smokejumpers has been Jake Slade’s dream. Parachuting into the path of a raging fire and beating it into submission isn’t for the faint of heart, but Slade has never backed down from a challenge. After surviving the grueling six-week training course, he thinks he’s ready for anything nature has to dish out.
What he hasn’t considered is manmade danger, in the form of an old friend turned CI and the DEA Special Agent determined to hunt him down … using Slade as the tracker. It’s an offer he wants to refuse, but with the promise of prison time being expunged from his record, Slade agrees, hoping to finally put to rest the demons of his past.
But what begins as a straightforward search and rescue mission swiftly turns into a harrowing run for his life …
