As Conner, Amber, and Henri try to make their escape in the wilds of the African jungle, they continue to be hunted by the rebels who attacked their convoy. They also find they must deal with the dangers inherent in the jungle including deadly snakes, poisonous spiders, and hungry crocodiles. Knowing who to trust becomes their biggest problem when they run across soldiers, poachers, and rebels in the African jungle.

Survival begins where Ambush ended with continuing nonstop action and adventure for Conner and his charges. One aspect of Conner's job that stands out in this story is that the Guardians never carry guns and rarely use them unless they are threatened and acquire one from an enemy. Overall, this is another good entry in the Bodyguard Series. ( )
