Overview

Woodshed Wallace is equally at home in the grittiest alleys and brightest MMA cages of Las Vegas, but none of that prepares him for the war that awaits him in Rio de Janeiro. Woody is in Brazil to reunite with his past flame Marcela and the Arcoverde clan and to fight in Banzai Eddie Takanori's first international Warrior Inc. event. Marcela and the Arcoverdes do their best to let Woody focus on the fight, but his instincts are too sharp. The family is in trouble. Carrasco, crime lord of the notorious, sprawling Rio slum Axila da Serpente, has taken a liking to Marcela. Carrasco believes he is the embodiment of an Exu, a spirit driven by lust, vice, and crime, and the spirit has demanded ownership of Marcela. Under the burning MMA spotlights and within the brutal labyrinths of Rio's slums, Woody must realize what he cherishes most and what he must fight for before it is gone forever.

Anaconda Choke is amazing. If you're a fan of the series, it's everything you want from Woodshed... Caught in an unwanted love triangle that's more brutal then the octagon, Woodshed once again has to rely on his will to help the people he loves... It's a thrill ride. --Jordan Dickey After surviving his cage match with the formidable Zombi in Hook and Shoot (2012), Aaron Woodshed Wallace takes his talents to Rio de Janeiro in Brown's third installment of the mixed-martial-arts-thriller series. Wallace is looking forward to his Brazil trip: he has a fight with a legitimate title contender, he is helping his friend Jairo Arcoverde prepare for his cage-match debut, and he will reunite with his love, Marcela, Jairo's sister. Unfortunately, things go awry quickly as Wallace learns that a Brazilian crime lord has his sights on Marcela, a situation that leads to multiple fights with a host of bad guys. Brown effectively combines crisp action sequences detailing the intricacies of Brazilian jujitsu with a smart and entertaining narration featuring Wallace's self-deprecating humor. There is plenty of action here for MMA fans, but Brown's fast-paced and engaging style also lends itself to anyone who enjoys a raucous thriller fraught with eccentric characters and formidable enemies. -- Craig Clark, Booklist
