Josephs, Rudy. The Marine. World Wrestling Entertainment: July 25, 2006


Imagine yourself just getting back from the war in Afghanistan and being told to live a normal life. This is what has happened to John Triton a Marine who has returned home to South Carolina. He like any other Marine has a hard time adjusting to the laid back life style of living at home. So his wife Kate decides that getting John out of the house would be a great idea, so they go on a camping trip. On their way they stop at a gas station to get some gas and to buy a couple last minute things, when out of nowhere a car came speeding into the gas station. There were 5 people in the car, and they looked really suspicious but John didn’t notice. All of a sudden one grabs Kate and throws her into the car. John goes running to chase after them but another shoots the gas tank in his truck and the truck goes up in flames, and another hits him with a fire extinguisher, almost knocking him out . He runs and gets in one of the cop cars and the instincts leaned in the war kick in and he pursues them. The question is will he find his wife in one piece?

In the story the author makes sure to give great in-depth descriptions of the main characters. Also the setting in the story is very well described; it starts off in the battle fields of Afghanistan, and then turns to the peaceful life of the south. This gives the reader almost two different aspects to look at when reading the book and gives you descriptions into the story. Josephs is a great author and his action packed story makes me want to read more of his book. Overall the book was an easy, good read.
