Summary: "The next big action movie?"

Hot Spots opens your eyes, maybe too wide, to what really goes on "out there"; on the front lines, in rebel camps, back streets, jungles and the least visited parts of the world. The author and his friends are ordinary people thrust into extraordinary circumstances and what they see and learn makes you stop and think. What happens next puts any cliches you may expect to rest. This is real life at its worst and best. Maybe made understandable by the authors extraordianry grasp of description and honest communication. A great read when you start taking being alive and safe for granted
