About the Book

This is the inspiring and terrifying tale of one man's journey to the Middle East to save his child from radical Islam. Dimitri Bontinck lived every parent's worst nightmare: his teenage son, introduced to Islam by his girlfriend, fell into the clutches of a radical mosque. Dimitri watched helplessly as his son Jay transformed from a gentle boy to a soldier in training, wearing traditional robes and following a strict diet. Completely brainwashed, Jay snuck out of the house and traveled to Syria, all but vanishing. Too late, Dimitri learned that their country, Belgium, was the leading hotbed of Islamic radicalization. Large numbers of teenagers were being lured into this world and expertly indoctrinated into radical Islam. One by one, they disappeared into the Middle East, most never to be seen again. With no one to help him, Dimitri--a white, Christian-raised atheist--set off on his own to save his son. Using only his military training, a lot of courage, and a little luck, he gradually made contacts in the Middle East and, after months of searching, was able to find his son and bring him home. The world was shocked at his unprecedented success, and he started receiving pleas from families around the world, asking that he get their children back, as well. Increasingly fearful for his own life but unable to ignore these cries for help, Dimitri accepted his newfound role as the jihadi hunter.

About the Author :
Dimitri Bontinck is a former soldier for the Belgian army, UN peacekeeper in Slovenia, and security officer who in 2013 discovered that his teenaged son had traveled to Syria to join the group that later became ISIS. Bontinck traveled to Syria and, after several dangerous encounters with ISIS jihadis, rescued his son from the terrorist group. Since then, he has traveled numerous times to the region to save other young men and has become an expert on resistance to violent Islamic radicalism. Keith Szarabajka has appeared in many films, including The Dark Knight, Missing, and A Perfect World, and on such television shows as The Equalizer, Angel, Cold Case, Golden Years, and Profit. Szarabajka has also appeared in several episodes of Selected Shorts for National Public Radio. He won the 2001 Audie Award for Unabridged Fiction for his reading of Tom Robbins's Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates and has won several Earphones Awards.

Review :
"[Bontinck's] personal, in-depth account is a powerful dissection of the step-by-step recruitment of his son into the web of Islamic terrorist networks...A moving personal account that offers profound insights into Islamic terrorism and the struggle against it." -- "Kirkus Reviews" "A desperate dad rescued his jihadist son from the bloody grasp of ISIS--and dismantled a major terrorist network in the process." -- "New York Daily News" "Bontinck charts the evolution of a curious, Catholic boy into a sixteen-year-old jihadist, brainwashed by 'hardline, pure Islamic views, ' militant videos, and lectures on Islamophobia and 'corrupt Christians'....Bontinck's dogged determination and meaningful contacts opened the door for Jay's release months later. The rescue is one of the few success stories among parents who have lost their children to ISIS recruitment." -- "Publishers Weekly (starred review)" "Bontinck describes his odyssey into the heart of ISIS territory with an urgent, staccato ring. You can almost picture him jotting down notes while bumping across dusty roads to the next meeting that will hopefully lead him closer to Jay...The very fact that Bontinck escaped with his own life, and that of his son...without any knowledge of Arabic or any pre-existing contacts in Syria in the midst of a war zone is miraculous." -- "Christian Science Monitor" "Equally thrilling and alarming, Rescued from ISIS is a true story that reads like Not without My Daughter meets Taken." -- "Bruce Porter, author of Snatched" "Mr. Bontinck is the rare type of individual who understands that simply hoping for evil and injustice in the world to politely go away is a fatuous mindset at best and a life threatening one at worst. Listen closely to what he is saying. Ignore him at your own risk." -- "Douglas Laux, former CIA operations officer" "Reading Bontinck' s harrowing accounts and his philosophy of 'believe in and pursue (your dream) until the end of your strength' provides the reader with a motivational boost for facing challenging situations." -- "Jean M. Griffing, A. K. Smiley Public Library, Redlands, California"
