Mohlke & Strel take you on the adventure of a lifetime in "The Man Who Swam the Amazon"! You are in the jungle stroke for stroke with Strel hearing the scream of the jaguar, howler monkeys, cheering throngs along the shore and the menacing motor of pirates or drug runners passing too close in the dark. Vampires, malaria infested mosquitos, candiru, killer reptiles, gargantuan spiders, std laden nymphs,and unpredictable currents are only some of the dangers. This is man against nature at its best in and unbelievable tale that's all too true.
Mohlke's style has been compared to Kerouak, Hemmingway, and Twain. He is a gifted and experienced storyteller who will leave you on the edge of your seat turning page after page.
Strel is a bigger than life hero for all of us as he swims for clean water and world peace He's so full of personality that the book is bursting at the seams.
This story is dripping with Amazon mud, intrigue, and danger at every turn.

Summary: exciting depiction of an historic event and little known are
