In one of the world’s most treacherous jungles
While bombing rebel positions in the remote Congolese rainforest, mercenary fighter-bomber pilot Seth Gustafson is shot down by rebel anti-aircraft fire. Surviving his traumatic bailout, Seth now finds himself in a desperate race of survival against deadly wild animals, exposure, hostile tribesman, and heavily-armed rebels.
A race begins between death and survival
Far from friendly forces, a small group of combat helicopters search high and low for Seth. With the odds stacked against him and the danger mounting, will Seth make it to the designated extraction point before the rebels capture or kill him?
Will he make it Out of the Congo?
Packed with gripping suspense, Out of the Congo will take you on an unforgettable journey of survival through the steamy undergrowth of the rainforest where danger lurks around every corner.
