Ryan Quinn And The Rebel's Escape

Description

Ryan Quinn thought his traveling days were over. The son of two United Nations workers, he'd grown up in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa-anywhere but his NYC home. But now that he's settled into life at the International Community School, things have finally gotten good and normal. Until, suddenly, his world gets turned upside down when his father goes missing and his mother is abducted right in front of his eyes. Forced to find answers himself, Ryan discovers that his parents work for a supersecret organization called the Emergency Rescue Committee (the ERC). Created during World War II, the group has performed daring rescue missions around the world for over seventy years. Now it is up to Ryan to undertake his own perilous mission. In a sensational adventure that gives Jason Bourne and James Bond a run for their money, Ryan helps a teenage rebel blogger escape a country intent on silencing dissent forever, while rescuing his parents from near-certain death. To survive this mission of international intrigue, Ryan must trust his training, trust himself, and make a daring run for freedom.
