The combatant forces of freedom and terrorism have turned El Salvador into one of the world's hottest trouble spots. Hostage! Is the story of one man who discovered God in a terrorist ordeal. An engineer for an American company, Fausto Bucheli was sent to investigate production problems at a plant in San Salvador, the capital city. Then one afternoon--a crash. A fusillade of bullets. The smell of blood. The deadly aim of a submachine gun. And forty-seven days in a pit as bad as the Black Hole of Calcutta. Darkness. Nakedness. Near-starvation. Brutality and torture. The threat of execution at a terrorist's whim. And the discovery of Jesus Christ through reading a stolen Gideon Bible. This is Fausto's amazing story. How and why it happened, how Fausto and his family endured their ordeal, how he was ransomed--from the terrorists' hands and from spiritual darkness--is all told in a gripping story that will give a deeper understanding of what is happening in the tragic struggle in Latin America. Fausto Bucheli is at present an engineer with an aerospace corporation in Southern California. J. Robin Maxson is a free-lance writer residing in Klamath Falls, Oregon.
