Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe

In 2005, before the wise-cracking, lady-killing, beer-swilling Sam Axe landed in Miami to protect the weak alongside his friend: burned spy Michael Westen, he enjoyed a similarly exciting and fulfilling career as an officer in the Navy SEALs. When Sam is caught in bed with an Admiral’s wife, the repercussions are swift: he is put on a transport plane and sent deep into the jungles of Columbia. While Sam’s mission is to “observe and report” on what he’s been told is a violent terrorist army threatening U.S. interests in the area, it doesn’t take long for him to realise that the so-called terrorists are in fact a small group of poorly armed farmers who are resisting being forced off their land. Furthermore, Sam learns that the real threat to peace is coming from a rogue military commander who will stop at nothing to create a regional conflict where one doesn’t exist in order to secure additional military funding from the American government. Being pursued by the well-armed cadre of soldiers and with little in the way of resources or supplies, Sam must first gain the rebels’ trust before he can train them to defend themselves using whatever weapons (or other materials) they can find. Outgunned and outmanned but determined to protect his new friends from certain death, Sam must rely solely on his wits - and the help of a surprisingly resourceful doctor, a beautiful foreign-aid worker and a tough young female freedom fighter - to protect the band of unassuming rebels and lead them to safety; all the while well aware that his actions may cost him his military commission and possibly his life.
