By Edward R Hungerford

Johnny Drummer is a brilliant trial attorney and Vietnam vet living in Houston. On the outside, Johnny appears successful. But on the inside, Johnny is wrestling with discontent. After deciding it is time to follow his heart, Johnny develops a new plan for his life and leaves for Peru. Soon after his arrival, Johnny befriends Enrique Taurus, a bull of a man with a mysterious past who invites him on lively adventures in the Amazon jungle. When a British archaeologist summons the friends to Guyana without explanation, they willingly travel to learn what he wants: help finding a lost Atlantean colony and the reason for the 1925 disappearance of famous explorer, Colonel Percy Fawcett. But not long after Professor Troy, Johnny, and their guide, Bull, embark on new jungle adventures, they are attacked by native headhunters. After being rescued by aliens, Johnny learns he has been chosen to defend the human race from extinction. Despite the odds against him, Johnny enters the game with only one goal: to win. In this sci-fi adventure, an eccentric attorney partners with an old archeologist to defend human history as Earth awaits a chance for change.
