Hard Target
Don't go hunting a deadly prey.
When Blaze stops at an isolated gas station in the forests of Kentucky's Appalachians, he stumbles onto something sinister. Dangerous men with deadly intentions are stalking a strange group – two cops, a fugitive, and a lawyer. An ambush is underway; an execution is about to go down. Blaze isn’t one to look the other way. But before he knows it, he has a pack of mercenaries after him. From the Appalachians to the heart of Washington, DC, it becomes a relentless game of cat and mouse. But what the hunters don't realize is, they’ve taken on more than they can handle.
When it comes to deadly sport, Blaze is a master of the game – he’s no easy prey.
