Slave Children

A mercenary, Baxter, is asked for help by his sister-in-law Jenny, when his nephews, Simon 12 and Dan 14 are kidnapped. Every hour matters as once shipped overseas to perhaps become dancing boys for Afghans, they may be lost forever. His fellow mercenaries are reluctant to help him, being ready to set free hostages in Somalia.
Baxter searches among a city’s drop-outs for clues and runs amuck when approached by three pimps. A chance encounter with a fake priest snaring a boy leads Baxter to a rich Arab, Max Fadwell, the power behind the scenes. Max Fadwell runs a profitable trade in supplying youngsters to a wide market, mostly overseas. Body parts, slavery or worse await the victims. Those who stand in his way may end up in the pellet mill on his pig farm.
Baxter cannot enlist the police, having had trouble over weapons with them previously. Also, they have been unsuccessful too often in the past, resulting in bodies.
Just as Baxter finds Dan, Carl, Fadwell`s huge strong man, captures Baxter confining him to a cell. He escapes, leaving Carl out of action.
Fadwell has a country mansion where he keeps his children, guarded by a brutal fellow until sent to their new owners. Baxter enters the building at night to discover its lay-out and has to fight his way off the estate, leaving a trail of bodies. There is a fire fight inside the mansion and another where they hide the minibus. In a return visit with his comrades, Baxter wipes out the guards but Fadwell disappears mysteriously in the chaos of a smoke grenade.
Wazim, the knifeman, terrorizes Fadwell`s young captives on their sea trip to North Africa, until stopped by the humane captain. He is buried by Georgette, Fadwell`s masculine P.A.
In his search for the boys, Baxter finds Fadwell`s employee, the fake priest, has taken Simon and another boy, and he and his mates follow a trail to an Arab Sheik`s fort. There is a fire fight before the boys are rescued.
Baxter`s nephew, Dan and others, are exported to a slave market in North Africa. Dan helps Nigel to escape from the minibus but he is recaptured. Baxter and his comrades rescue Dan’s companions in the nick of time from a town square auction, assisted by stun grenades. Dan is spirited away by an Arab. Baxter tracks them and saves Dan, seeing off a crowd of enraged Arabs..
Baxter and Simon are captured as they sleep by Fadwell. Surely it is their end, or Baxter’s?
