Border Son is an action-packed story of violence and betrayal in the world of the Mexican Cartels. But there’s an unlying message of family ties, loyalty, and redemption. Ed Kazmierski lives a quiet life in Jennison, Kansas, until he is roughed up by two men from Nuevo Negaldo, Mexico, looking for his estranged son, Tyler. Not knowing what he’s getting into, Ed travels to Mexico, hoping he’s not too late to help a son he hasn’t seen in years. Once there, he’s threatened, forced to cross the harsh desert with his wounded son to escape killers, then captured and tortured. Tyler seems indifferent throughout, but the author offers him a small window of hope at the end. The story offers some insight into Mexican culture. I found the plot exciting and entertaining. ( ) This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. This is a tense, often riveting, but deeply flawed story of a father who answers a summons to rescue his son from a Mexican border town where he is being hidden after crossing a drug lord. Since the whole point of the book is to bring the father and son back together, the fact that the escape route doesn't particularly require the father's help makes this almost silly. The writing veers back and forth between excellent--in action scenes when the bullets are flying--and awkward--when the author is trying to delve into the emotions of the main characters. The ending is satisfying, and the after-effect is real: you won't be taking any Mexican vacations any time soon. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. Border Son is a story about the bond between father and his estranged son. Ed Kazmierski hasn’t seen or spoken to his son Tyler for some time. Not since the time Tyler called from an El Paso jail. He hasn’t given up on him but cannot keep fixing his mistakes. Tyler is now involved with a Mexican Cartel and although shot and left for dead, his life is spared and with the help of a priest, he needs to escape back to the US. There is where Ed comes in and the two of them struggle to survive and one never knows when a miracle could happen. I found the story captivating and although there is much bloodshed, It is more of a story of relationships. I enjoyed reading this one.
It's been years since Edward Kazmierski has seen his wayward son. In fact, it's been years since he has allowed thoughts of Tyler to even enter his mind. The last place he knew Tyler to be was in an El Paso jail six years ago. Then, in one day, he receives a cryptic phone call telling him that his son needs him in Mexico, another from a federal agent searching for Tyler, and a visit from two men he hopes to never meet again. South of the border, the chain of events set into motion by an impulsive act will almost certainly lead to death--for Tyler and for those who try to help him. But before Ed can recover his son, he will have to tear down the wall that has been built up between them. With insight and artistry, Samuel Parker brings the dusty and dangerous streets of a Mexican border town into sharp focus in this suspenseful reimagining of the Prodigal Son story.
