"Out of Captivity"

BOGOTA – It's a pact they made in the jungle.

The three U.S. military contractors who spent 1,967 days as captives of Colombia's main rebel group agreed they would write their story together.

Now HarperCollins publicist Dee Dee DeBartlo says the publisher's William Morrow imprint will issue their book, "Out of Captivity," on Feb. 26.

Military agents posing as an international humanitarian group rescued Marc Gonsalves, Tom Howes and Keith Stansell on July 2 along with French-Colombian politician Ingrid Betancourt.

The three were employed by Northrop Grumman Corp. when their surveillance flight crashed in rebel territory in February 2003.

HarperCollins' Web site says the book was co-written with Colorado author Gary Brozek.
