“Run! Run Like Hell!” When Danny goes to live with his cool Uncle Angus, he knows life will never be the same again. But he doesn’t expect to be catapulted into a world of guns, explosions and high-speed chases.
After they uncover a top-secret, highly illegal operation to ship arms out of the country, Danny and Angus race to North Africa to investigate. As they pursue the bloodthirsty Sons of Rissouli the stakes get higher, and Danny is thrown into dangers he could never have imagined.
