The Seekers a Bounty Hunters Story

The first two pages hook you one of the best reads ever!! This book is not just a guy's book. I am recommending it to an all girls book club.

Love IT!

Ever since i picked up this book i havn't been able to put it down it even gave me a better sense of understanding of life.

Very enjoyable to read

The best part about this book is the stories. Armstrong grows up in New Jersey, and eventually ends up on the west coast, where he is first really exposed to the criminal element. While working on a fishing boat in Alaska, he gets his first experience bounty hunting while trying to earn some extra money. He is not impressed with the guy he was working with, but was intrigued by the profession. Armstrong goes on to found the Seekers, a group of bounty hunters who are professional, and respectable. His religion plays a part in the book, and is primarily seen in his attitude torwards the criminals he is trying to capture. He does not accept the fact that all of them are automatically evil, and frequently talks about how he is trying to let his mind grow, and that this is what the people he works with need to do as well. The religion is not an overwhelming part of the book, but if you are the sort of person who cannot read about a religious view that conflicts with yours without getting agitated, this is not the book for you.The best part of the book is the stories about caputres he's made. As a bounty hunter, it is his job to track down people who were arrested, made bail, then did not return for their trial. A typical bounty hunter gets 5,000-25,000 a capture. Most of the chapters in the book describe memorable captures this bounty hunter has made either individually, or with the help of his organization. He would aquire information on his target, then track that person down and capture them in the most efficient and non-violent way possible. It is very interesting to hear about the situations he's been in, and how he survived them, and made the capture. It's a pretty easy book to read, and very engrossing.

Captivating tale

The Seekers is an exhilarating tale of Joshua Armstrong's life. The story is an intriguing mix of ancient philosophies, modern day street smarts and extraordinary compassion. Armstrong founded the Seekers, which is a group of bounty hunters that work out of New Jersey. Unlike other bounty hunters who have less than a 50% success rate, the Seekers have an 85% success rate and have captured over 2000 bail jumpers.Armstrong is constantly trying to become a "stellar man" and it is this journey of discovery as well as the thrilling adventure of some of his most famous captures that make this tale so captivating.Where else can you read about Egyptian philosophy, mad bombers, spiritual enlightenment and drug dealers all in one place?

You Reap What You Sow!

In ancient times, it was believed that a divine warrior protected the people from injustices. Today, it seems, that force has manifested itself in the bodies of The Seekers. This is not an action adventure novel. It is the documentation of Joshua Armstrong's spiritual evolution. Luckily for the readers, like any change, Mr. Armstrong's 'evolution' is ripe with adventure. Settle into a comfortable chair. You're not going to want to put this one down.
