    No one roots for the Henchmen—the big, dumb, tough, disposable guys who blindly follow the villains . . . but are they all bad? 
    . . . Or are they just poorly trained, mistreated workers with evil bosses? 
      
    Recent college grad, Matt, is an insurance salesman whose life has turned into routine and monotony. 
    All that changes when he finds himself in the middle of a deadly bar fight and, in a split-second, is forced to make a decision: kill or be killed. Matt chooses self-preservation, saving himself, and, unbeknownst to him, the head of cybercriminal organization, DMF Enterprises. 
    Suddenly a murderer and a fugitive, Matt now also finds himself to be the latest target of a notoriously dangerous, rival cyber-criminal. For protection, Matt is offered the chance to join DMF's league of Henchmen. 
    But Matt quickly learns that the modern-day Henchmen are not like the ones in the movies. They drink Starbucks and watch Netflix on the job, and they make fatal mistakes, like accidentally locking the doors of the van mid-kidnapping. 
    If Matt can't survive as a Henchman, he will face the streets and the Outside Threat all on his own. But, if he can unite them, Matt can begin the evolution of Henchman, and better yet, stay alive. Does he have what it takes to triumph, or will he, too, become disposable? 
    Join Matt in the first book in this laugh-out-loud, action-packed Henchman Training Academy series.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.     Readers embark on a heart-pounding journey that weaves together themes of survival, justice, and the unwavering resilience of the human spirit. This gripping narrative centers around Commander Robert Brown, a highly esteemed African-American Navy SEAL, who makes the momentous decision to retire from his illustrious career and reconnect with his beloved Uncle Pete in Jackson, Mississippi. However, fate has a different plan in store for him, thrusting him into a spine-tingling fight for survival against an evil group of Ku Klux Klan members who hunt black men for sport. 
         As the story unfolds, readers are simultaneously immersed in two parallel narratives. Special Agent Smith, Uncle Pete's former partner, joins forces with Uncle Pete to locate his missing nephew, newly retired Navy SEAL Commander Robert Brown. Both men unravel and expose the sinister workings of this malevolent group within the seemingly idyllic town of Rolling Hills, Mississippi. Meanwhile, Commander Brown, finding himself hunted by members of the Klan in the remote forests of Rolling Hills, must draw upon his exceptional tactical prowess, combat skills, and survival expertise to turn the tables on his pursuers. 
         What follows is an exhilarating game of cat and mouse, as Commander Brown cunningly uses his training and instincts to transform the unsuspecting racists into unwitting prey. Armed with the knowledge of their twisted game and fueled by his own unyielding determination, this decorated war hero becomes a force to be reckoned with. In a relentless pursuit of justice and vengeance, Commander Brown systematically eliminates his opposition, one by one, in a series of thrilling and gruesome confrontations.
