The Africa Story One Musician's Perilous Foray into the World's Most Dangerous Jungle after the World's Most Precious Stones

A marvelously fast paced and action packed account delivered first hand by the professional musician and smuggler who braved the jungles of Africa for precious stones and out smarted governments, criminal syndicates, and the diamond districts in the cat and mouse world of illicit diamond smuggling. A first hand look at the real world of blood diamonds, journey from the sun soaked streets of Miami into the thickly canopied jungles of Sierra Leone. Learn the perils of establishing alliances with tribal princes, high stakes deals with diamond cartels, an episode of forbidden love, and the intricacies of how one might smuggle large sums of cash across borders and live to tell the tale. You'll find no disclaimer of protected persons, changed identities, or muddied series of events to protect the innocent -everyone here is guilty, and its all true.

How would you smuggle diamonds out of Africa? I can tell you how I did. This isn't just based on a true story - it is a true story, and like everything I write, it can serve as a map for those blazing their own trails to fame, fortune and perhaps disaster . Either write a book, or do something worth writing about I've now endeavored to do both - was it all worth it? You'll have to decide.The authors premier work describes his fathers perilous journeys through civil-war torn Sierra Leone. When he's not cataloging harrowing tales from the jungle, he enjoys spending time with his Catalan sheep dog, Marshall.
