Freedom Earned by J.D. Stone

None of it was supposed to go down the way it did. A trip to Thailand to party with my old buddy should have been all fun with maybe a bit of debauchery. Instead, it quickly devolved into fighting for my survival on isolated islands, relying on my Marine Corps survival training and a friend I met along the way.

One thing those bastards didn’t seem to understand was that you don’t mess with a Marine. Before they knew it, I was bringing the fight to them, and doing so with a vengeance.

Freedom Earned follows a Marine as he gets caught up in a terrorist plot while on vacation in Thailand, with a sense of The Beach meets Jack Ryan.
