Description
It is every mother's nightmare. An ex-husband abducts her children and spirits them abroad, far from the reach of U.S. law to an alien culture, where a mother may not even have the right to custody of her own children. As too many American women have discovered, their government cannot or will not do anything to help. They are desperate and alone with the fear that they may never see their children again. Fortunately, for a few mothers, there is a court of last resort: the ex-Delta Force commandos of Corporate Training Unlimited (CTU). Rescue My Child is the story of four daring overseas missions in which CTU commandos have located and rescued kidnapped American children. They brought an abused mother and her daughter home from Tunisia in a perilous seaborne escape. In the second story, the government of Jordan attempted to thwart a rescue by closing its borders and shutting down its international airport, but the commandos safely returned a young girl from Texas who had been abducted from her mother. In "The Bangladesh Sting," the commandos teamed up with two Oklahoma women to set a trap for the man both had married, in order to bring back the daughter he had taken. When they found her, the child was filthy and covered with lice. And in perhaps their most dangerous mission, the commandos rescued two children who had been kidnapped to Ecuador by their father. This time the father was an American, an ex-commando like themselves, and a trained killer. Had they been captured during any of these rescues, the commandos - and the mothers who accompanied them on their harrowing missions - would have been sentenced to long prison terms under brutal conditions. Yet, despite the tremendous risks and lack of financial rewards, the men and women of CTU continue to respond to pleas for help from desperate American mothers. To date, they have successfully carried out seven amazing rescue missions. In Rescue My Child, the reader will meet four mothers who wouldn't let anything stand between them and their children, and the commandos, parents themselves, who succeeded where everyone else failed. It is a story told with all of the intensity and drama of the most compelling fiction - except that it is all true.
