T.R. Hendricks brilliantly announces himself by championing Derek Harrington in this action packed slugfest.
Harrington, a former Marine Corps Intelligence Officer turned outdoor survivalist guide, is working his way through life with nothing going his way. Harrington is busy teaching a class when one of his students, an out of touch with reality country bumpkin, is doing nothing but screwing up things at a high rate of speed. Harrington continues on through the course and when the trip is complete, he is presented with a quick way to make some cash; a private training session for the country bumpkin and his redneck friends.
Harrington is a bit cash strapped as he’s going through a rough time with his wife, while also dealing with the deterioration of this fathers health. Harrington makes the immediate decision to see what the deal is worth for him and makes a trip to upstate New York to evaluate the potential contract. What develops is a precarious situation in which Harrington initially chooses to distance himself from but following a little league baseball fiasco and being served some papers, Harrington must take the gig.
Beginning what is sure to be the worst decision of his life, Harrington begins to train the brigade of rednecks in all things survival and tactical. Starting at $5,000 a week isn’t too bad but when he starts to see what is really going on in the hidden hills camp, Harrington begins to think of his own safety and how to ensure the proper authorities are getting important information. That is until the charade is up and people must start fighting for their lives. What will become of the camp of society deprived thugs and the people unknowingly training them for war?
Hendricks does a phenomenal job setting the story up with tremendous attention to detail and overwhelmingly great violence. I really enjoyed the secondary plot lines and issues that Derek Harrington must battle through all while fighting for his life and continuing to protect the United States. Hendricks seems like a genre veteran, as he hooks you right from the start with one of those situations that is almost cringeworthy but wonderfully delivered. Dynamic action scenes spiced up with impending doom create hair raising scenes throughout and will undoubtedly have you loving The Instructor.
