Favorite character in the story?
For me, Colonel Johnny Cook was my favorite character. Despite getting kidnapped into the Malay jungle, he had this poise and adaptability that made me forget more than one that he was being held against his wishes. I enjoyed his perspective throughout the book and how easy he made friends.
What about you?

You an I, tonight!
You may forget the warmth he gave,
I will forget the light.
When you have done, pray tell me
That I my thoughts may dim;
Haste! lest while you're lagging.
I may remember him!
Emily Dickinson

Her tracking skills were quite exceptional, and she had a feisty personality. I see why she would be your choice for favorite character.LinaMueller wrote: ↑02 Oct 2019, 06:22 Sarah is my favorite character of the trilogy by far. Sadly she doesn't appear to much in this book (if my memory serves me correctly).

I agree, Johnny was my favorite character. I was so impressed with the way he was able to remain calm in such a dire situation.

Johnny Cook took to the Malayan jungle lifestyle and ways as if he had chosen to move there instead of being a captive.

Another aspect I loved about him is the dedication he was able to inspire for his two friends to drop their vacation to come recue him.
