Book excerpt: 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.
