Elissa Bancroft is kidnapped from a luxury cruise ship while sailing Alaska’s Inside Passage. She’s at the mercy of ruthless human traffickers, and the odds of rescuing her grow worse by the minute. Pete Nazareth and Tara Gimble, now working as special agents for U.S. President Roland Armstrong, will do whatever it takes to keep the young woman from joining the ranks of the world’s thirty-five million slaves.

Review

Reviewed By Edith Wairimu for Readers' Favorite
Sailing the Gates of Hell by R.H. Johnson is a riveting story that explores major issues similar to those that surround modern day America. In the book, Roland Armstrong is the current president of the United States. A formidable, strong-headed, and sly figure who will stop at nothing to drive his agenda, Armstrong is undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with. Still, he is faced by constant security threats posed by North Korea, organized terrorist groups, and spies within his own government. Armstrong is forced to make life-changing decisions that will change the face of a whole nation and the world. Then there is the human trafficking menace which has seen more than thirty-five million people enslaved. Sailing the Gates of Hell follows Elissa Bancroft's struggle for freedom as she becomes a victim of this ordeal.

In an enthralling plot, R.H. Johnson presents paramount themes in today's world in a vivid and fascinating manner. He does not hold anything back as he creates a thrilling and relevant story line. Following different sub-plots that add to the overall story line, R.H. Johnson brings characters alive through intelligent merging and harmonizing of different aspects of the narrative. His characters are well-developed and combine beautifully with the themes of the book. I especially loved how he developed particular characters in the story, an example being President Roland Armstrong. R.H. Johnson is creative, gifted, knows his content and, above all, maintains a grip on the reader through compelling action. Like other R.H. Johnson's books, Sailing the Gates of Hell will prove engaging to any lover of mystery and suspense novels.

Our dedicated, fantastic NYPD detectives have left their jobs in New York to become special agents that report directly to the President. They are hot on the trail of a spy they believed dead and the niece of the man that oversees all the secret services except Pete and Tara. This is an exciting ride from beginning to end with huge surprises along the way. I would definitely recommend this entire series. It's just that good!

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting story that draws you in quickly
Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2018
I really enjoyed this and I had not read any of the others in the series. It was good as a stand-alone, although it does make me want to go back and read more. I like that it made me envision a scenario that I never even imagined, but it was believable enough to think it actually could happen. Sex trafficking is a bigger issue - and in more parts of the world - than most people would like to believe. The characters and dialogue were realistic to me. I look forward to reading more from this author.

I received this book for free from eBook Discovery. I voluntarily post this review. This is my honest review.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent action mystery thriller to be savored
Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2018
This was one of the most enjoyable action mystery thrillers that I've read in a long time. The plot was interesting and a good continuation of previous books. The ending was not what I thought it would be. The characters were interesting, complex with good interaction between them. I had to Pace myself not to rush through the book and to enjoy it instead of reading it all in one sitting. This has been an excellent series and I highly recommend the series.
