About this listen

 In Colombia you have to pick a side. Or one will be picked for you ... All Pedro Gutiérrez cares about is fishing, playing pool and his girlfriend Camila’s promise to sleep with him on his sixteenth birthday. But his life is ripped apart when Guerrilla soldiers callously execute his father in front of him, and he and his mother are banished from their farm. Swearing vengeance against the five men responsible, Pedro, with his best friend Palillo, joins an illegal Paramilitary group, where he is trained to fight, kill and crush any sign of weakness. But as he descends into a world of unspeakable violence, Pedro must decide how far he is willing to go. Can he stop himself before he becomes just as ruthless as those he is hunting? Or will his dark obsession cost him all he loves? From innocent teenage love to barbaric torture ... from cruel despots to cocaine traficantes ... from seedy drug markets to brutal battlefields ... Colombiano is a blockbuster revenge thriller and an electrifying coming-of-age story.©2017 Rusty Young (P)2019 Bolinda Publishing Suspense Travel & Tourism United States Revenge Fiction Heartfelt

I was absorbed, excellent narrator

Best narrator, just amazing. Loved the story overall, especially the first half of the book, quite graphic in parts (which is not a complaint (the opposite in fact), more a heads up))

Highly recommend

Fantastic book

Really enjoyed this and binged it in a few weeks! Although it’s fiction it also helped me understand the context of the military groups in Colombia.

What a story!

Absolutely loved this story. Fantastic plot & characters, but what made the book for me is Rusty's skill at painting a picture through words: Fear, anger, sorrow, pity, determination, revenge, they're all covered with ease, along with visual pictures of the harsh jungle environment. Cannot wait for the next book.

Truly Amazing story!

This is an amazing insight into the ongoing battle between the FARC and the Autodefensas which was truly insightful and entertaining at the same time. A real gem for anyone interested in Colombia’s darker side before it flourished into the amazing country that it is today. I commend the author for his ability to make this audio book impossible to stop listening to once you get started!
