On a fateful day in February 2002, campaign manager Clara Rojas accompanied longtime friend and presidential hopeful Ingrid Betancourt into an area controlled by the powerful leftist guerrilla group, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). Armed with machine guns and grenades, the FARC took them hostage and kept them in the jungle for the next six years. After more than two years of captivity deep in the Colombian jungle, surrounded by jaguars, snakes, and tarantulas, miles from any town or hospital, Clara Rojas prepared to give birth in a muddy tent surrounded by heavily armed guerrillas. Her captors promised that a doctor would be brought to the camp to help her. But when Rojas went into labor and began to suffer complications, the only person on hand was a guerrilla wielding a kitchen knife. The guerrillas drugged Rojas with anesthetic while one of them slit open her abdomen. Her son, Emmanuel, was born by amateur cesarean section in April 2004. His survival was miraculous, but her joy was soon cut short when the FARC took him from her when he was only eight months old. For the next three years, Clara was given no information about him, but her desire to one day see him again kept her alive. In early 2008, Clara was finally liberated and reunited with her son—to whom this book is dedicated.

The fast-paced sequel to The Team will keep you on the edge of your seat! When a small army is needed for a covert operation, the President calls on The Team—a very special ensemble of Marines, Rangers, SEALs and CIA operatives who make up one of the most lethal fighting forces in the US arsenal. Enrique Antonio Vega runs one of the largest cocaine cartels in South America, deep in the rain forest of the tri-border region. With a tribe of cannibalistic Guarani natives as his personal army, he operates with impunity—that is, until he takes part in the murder of the U.S. Ambassador. Having just returned from the Middle East where they foiled two large-scale terror attacks, The Team is retooled and sent to the jungle of the tri-border region. Their journey to the lair of Enrique Vega is perilous at every turn, and such is the wild ride of Into The Jungle: The Team Book Two.
