Matt and Parker are back for this final Rockhounds chapter. Still hiding out in Africa, Matt tries to deal with the aftermath of his actions. They have nothing but the clothes on their backs and each other, but Matt thinks they can find a way to make the best of things.
From the danger of being discovered and being wanted men, to the very real troubles of poisonous snakes and other wild animals, Matt and Parker have to find a way to survive. Can they make it through their jungle adventure?
Sample
Matt was losing it, losing it bad. He’d never admit it, of course. I’d heard “I’m fine” more times than I can count.
Mind you, I can count pretty high. Even for a Jarhead.
Course, it was probably to be expected. My Rockhound had never killed anyone before, and he had to go and start by taking out his former lover.
I’d been dreading Sean’s death, knowing the arrogant bastard’s demise was inevitable. I’d played the scene -- and its aftermath -- out in my mind a hundred hundred times, trying to find a way it wouldn’t wind up a royal clusterfuck.
Never did manage that.
Course, I never once considered the possibility that Matt would be the one doing what needed to be done. I’d never envisioned his finger on the trigger, Sean on his knees, the whole thing going bad faster than I ever imagined possible.
But that’s what happened.
It happened. Sean was dead, and now it was killing Matt.
