That is until a series of unimaginable events turned it upside down—some good, some very, very bad. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStill reeling from this maelstrom of fate, Sam takes a leave of absence and heads to exotic Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam seeking refuge with his family, and to reflect on his deadly past. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSam is captivated by the contrast of beauty and struggle of a country still recovering from war, and by the warmth of his newfound family—his father Samuel, wife Kim, half sisters, and the beautiful enchanting Mai. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut the grief-crazed mob boss, Lai Van Tan, seeks revenge against Samuel who he holds responsible for the death of his son. Ever the protector, Sam Reeves joins the fight to thwart Lai Van Tan's deadly attacks on the family.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDealing with a crazed mob boss is difficult enough but when the family learns that Lai Van Tan's people have kidnapped 27 young girls to be sold into the sex trade, and that the corrupt police and government won't help, Sam, Samuel, and Mai, along with a bizarre group of ‘seemingly' old and disabled Vietnamese soldiers with unique fighting skills, join forces to rescue the young girls. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnraged, Lai Van Tan strikes back with a fury that tests the mettle of these warriors. Before it's over, the family is forced to defend themselves again and again, including in a warehouse full of life-sized Buddha statues.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe results—well, if you're going to fight the bad guys you might as well make them really mad at you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"YMAA Publication Center","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47134278090992,"sku":"9781594392665","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781594392665_p0.jpg?v=1763813410","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781594392665","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
