A riveting true story of courage, identity, and an unsanctioned rescue mission deep in the jungles of the Philippines.
Evelyn Chang’s dream vacation turned into a nightmare when terrorists ambushed her and her husband, killing him and taking her hostage in the lawless Sulu Archipelago. With no hope of rescue, Evelyn’s family turned to former Green Beret Gene Yu, a man five years out of the military and struggling to find his place in civilian life.
Armed with his training, wit, and determination, Gene embarked on an improbable solo mission to infiltrate one of the most dangerous regions in the world and bring Evelyn home.
This harrowing memoir is more than a story of survival—it’s a journey of self-discovery, resilience, and the extraordinary lengths one man will go to defy expectations and save a life.
