Michael T. Shepherd, the infamous freelance photojournalist, semi-retired adventurer, and ex-spy, has the unsavory task of leading a joint DEA/CIA operation via riverboat up the Rio Negro beyond the Umarituba Outpost north into the uncharted Territory of the Maracaja. Our main character and his crew, four men and one woman, are to apprehend and arrest the alleged trafficker of drugs and general embarrassment to the United States Government by the name of O Gato de a Selva. This alleged criminal's real name is Gabriel Courier. He is a renegade Lieutenant Colonel from the US Military. And Michael's good friend.
The Maracaja - a story boasting of adventure, action, romance, a bit of mystery, and the literary touch.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
The author has married four times and attended as many universities. With a B.A. in English, pre-med, and post graduate work in High Energy Physics, Mr. Seddon has worked at a rescue mission in Orlando, Florida; the largest law firm west of the Mississippi; the opening of the Domed Stadium in Houston, Texas; and the world famous Loft Restaurant in Yosemite National Park. Mr. Seddon has dug ditches in New Jersey, flipped hamburgers in Chicago, and taught 8th grade Science at South Lake Tahoe's Middle School. Apparently there are deserts he has crossed, oceans he has traversed, and mountains he has climbed.
He has published poetry, hitchhiked across the United States, and did the Haight-Ashbury in the sixties, among other things. He has a son in college and a granddaughter named Kali. Mr. Seddon says he is 29 years old and holding; has been around the block - probably more than once - and is still trying to figure it out.
