Saving Karma

Beschreibung

18-year-old Thai American Bree Thomas' world is shattered. Thrown out of her adoptive home just before graduation, Bree is broke and homeless, her college ambitions are ruined, and her best friend, Juju lies in the hospital with a shattered face--a tragedy Bree blames on herself. Hope arrives when the shadowy Meng Foundation offers Bree a lifeline: A free college education once she completes a two-year altruistic apprenticeship abroad. With the payment of Juju's medical bills even included in the deal, it's an opportunity Bree can't refuse. But the promise of a brighter future quickly unravels into a perilous ordeal. Instead of the charitable work she expected, Bree finds herself plunged into grueling military-style training at an isolated jungle camp. Her assignment? To carry out daring rescue missions into backwater hellholes, delivering enslaved men, women, and children to the sanctuary of Meng's private city, New Lingyang. Bree becomes enamored with saving the oppressed downtrodden masses until discovering that behind the philanthropic facade of New Lingyang lies a shocking truth making her an unwitting participant in Meng's horrific global enterprise. The stakes quickly escalate into a desperate race against time. Bree must save those she unwittingly put in harm's way, rescue a young girl from a horrible fate, and bring down a web of deceit that stretches farther than she could ever imagine. "Bree Thomas is a character this world so desperately needs." Readers Favorite. "If Mitch Rapp or Jack Reacher ever had a daughter, she would be Bree Thomas." "A no let go thrill-ride through Asia that keeps you hanging on like a petrified bat."
