About this ebook

In one of the most beautiful places on earth, the ugliest of crimes holds young, innocent lives in its evil grip. An intercepted cell-phone call from a remote area on the Olympic Peninsula tells beautiful, brilliant NSA researcher, Jennifer Akihara, that a group of girls will soon be sold into slavery by human traffickers. She enlists her fiance, Lee Brandt, to help find the holding location and convince the FBI to intervene. With the clock ticking off the last few hours before both the sale of the girls and the arrival of a deadly storm, and with international criminals pursuing them, can Jennifer and Lee save the girls, or will their wedding plans be cancelled ... permanently?

    “God’s better than bullets,” says one of the characters in H. L. Wegley’s Christian suspense novel, On the Pineapple Express. But this is no tale of simple thrills and deus ex machina. The God of this novel is very real. The primary characters are believable, authentic Christians, with real problems and concerns. And the situation, while providing fodder for a fun, exciting tale, is sadly all too real as well—girls are indeed kidnapped and sold into slavery, and it is an issue inviting our concern.The author combines real issues and real faith into pure, thrilling fiction with expert ease. The novel never feels preachy. The situations never feel contrived. And the characters never feel false, even when contemplating the beginnings of new faith.The Pineapple Express, bringing warmth, wind and rain from Hawaii to Seattle, provides an authentic and scary backdrop to this tale. Nature’s violence competes with the violence of men, and scary scenes of wild waves and falling trees are evocatively portrayed. Meanwhile an authentic love is displayed, with pleasingly faithful restraint, between the two main protagonists.Fast-paced, exciting, scary, violent when necessary, and always Christian, this is a great book with twin messages, of faith and fact, for teens and adults of all ages.Disclosure: I won a free ecopy during the author’s blog tour.
