Book Description
How would any of us react when faced with having to make a decision about risking our own life to save a stranger? And, why would we make such a decision? That is a decision which those in the life-saving services make each day. Who are these people and why would they risk their life to save another? Those are questions that are dealt with in this exciting and thought-provoking novel. The backdrop of this story is the exciting adventures at sea of men serving in the U. S. Coast Guard along the coasts of Oregon, Washington, and Alaska. It is a story of heroism, self-sacrifice, enduring friendship, and romance. But, men in the Coast Guard also have their dark side; it is also a story of humanity dealing with drugs, alcoholism, susicide and even murder. Mostly it is a story about fear and one's determination and ability to understand and overcome it. The story is set in the Vietnam war era, and in an attempt to avoid the horrors of war, Cody Stiles, the main character, joins the U. S. Coast Guard. But, there, he is forced to face his most ghastly fear, that of not only drowning but drowning in water that is dark and mysterious. Tragedy as a young boy, watching his older brother drown in a farm pond in Kansas, making no attempt to save him, and his father believing that he is a coward, shaped the young life of Cody Stiles. In the end, he makes an unconscious decision that affects the lives of many.

Book Description
RETURN TO THE LOST EL DORADO The Return to the Lost El Dorado is the sequel to The Lost El Dorado. It's now one year later. The Archaeologist from U.C. Berkeley, is onsite and exploring gold caves and tunnels which had been abandoned many centuries earlier. Some actually dive deep under the mighty Amazon River and may contain more gold than they imagined. Unfortunately, he is facing resistance from the local natives who are beginning to resent his presence and are growing more and more aggressive. He has also heard the rumblings deep in the caverns he has been exploring. Because he knows he is on borrowed time, he is rushing his explorations, risking a cave in and certain death due to the nearness of the river above his head. The Tribal leader's infant son, has come down with a rare disease that is fatal unless a medication is found and also a doctor who can deliver it on time. Because his condition is growing graver by the day, only the speedy PT boat can get them to the boy in time. The PT boat's skipper is a hardened warrior from both Vietnam and many years working on the dangerous Amazon. Normally he could deliver the doctor and the necessary medication without a problem. What he doesn't know is that a former enemy, heavily financed by a woman, also from his past is sending deadly people to not only stop him, but to also kill him. Their motivation? Not only the hoards of gold already in the village of golden buildings, but also the vast undiscovered gold they know is waiting for them once they get there and take over. There is a girl/woman/child, who is also out to stop the skipper for reasons of her own. She knows witchcraft, magic, voodoo and is said not to be of this earth. Before she is through, the skipper will know fear, even greater than he faced in Vietnam.
