Corey Hanna, Brown, The Marine

Josephs, Rudy. The Marine. Los Angeles: 2006

After coming home from a stint in Iraq, John Triton just wants a normal life. Except that his life is anything but normal. So he and his wife decide to go on a vacation, which is a pretty normal thing to do, but on their way, Kate is abducted by criminals who leave John to die. But John attempts to take matters into his own hands and track them down.
John and Kate are married and they are two of the main characters in the book. One could make the arguement that only John is, but if it were not for Kate being kidnapped, there would be no point in John going out and chasing these kidnappers. The setting here fits the book because it is across a long distance and if it were to take place inside somewhere like a school, it just wouldn't fit because it would be hard to have a chase scene indoors. This is a very good book, Rudy Josephs created a book that will keep you reading and her writing is easy to follow.
I would reccommend this book to most young adults because they seem to like the fast pace style and it's a book that you wont want to put down. Plus it is an easy read and isn't hard to follow.
