A relentless work of historical fiction and modern military realism, Haiti Run captures the cost of rescue, the weight of violence, and the salvation that hides inside courage.

In the aftermath of the 2010 Haitian earthquake, chaos rules the broken streets. From the ruins emerges Sergeant Savage—a former Special Operations operator turned lone rescuer who walks the line between mercy and mayhem. When a kidnapped American child vanishes into the island’s underworld, Savage and his trusted brother-in-arms, Rook, descend into a labyrinth of human traffickers, corrupt militias, and voodoo-laced warlords.

Each lead drags them deeper into darkness—gunfights in crumbling alleys, midnight raids on slave ports, knife fights lit by burning fuel drums. Savage faces evil not as legend but as flesh and blood—and confronts his own truth: to do good, he must sometimes become what good men fear.
