An unthinkable atrocity: four hundred young women are kidnapped from villages all across the North Kivu region in Africa by a fanatical Jihadist group ruled by a ruthless leader responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of civilians and soldiers.
Expecting a monstrous ransom demand, the world is shocked to learn the terrorists don’t want money. They just want to see the girls die slowly as the United Nations looks on helplessly.
Burroughs Rice, a retired black ops agent, and his eccentric team, are pulled out of mothballs by a mysterious billionaire to execute a daring rescue. Little do they know the hostage taking is a deadly trap and the only person who knows the truth is laying in a Paris hospital bed in an induced coma.
ON THE BLACK 2 reunites the Rice team: ex-Marine sniper, Grace Daley, the demolition expert, Jimmy, and Britt Johnson, who Rice met in the first novel. The second installment introduces the eccentric Quinten Hunter, the notorious quadriplegic mathematician who travels the world in his DARPA-designed motorized wheelchair.
The cross-continent chase climaxes with a blood-soaked adventure down a predator infested Congolese River with a surprise ending that will shock you.
