The Admiral of Bolivia

Six intrepid firefighters from the FDNY set off to Bolivia with dreams of a financial windfall. But instead of fortune, they find themselves ensnared in a web of conspiracy, falsely implicated in a scheming admiral's fervent mission to reclaim Bolivia's access to the sea from Chile.
Their journey is a whirlwind of close calls: dodging deadly assassins, unearthing the secrets of a concealed silver mine, and surviving a slew of harrowing events-from explosions and a peculiar boxing match to a treacherous mountain road crash and a high-stakes shootout.
Set against the intricate politics of South America and spanning Bolivia, Chile, Peru, and Ecuador, their adventure is further complicated by unlikely romances and daring firefighting heroics. Even the Pope, on his South American sojourn, becomes an unexpected figure in their unfolding saga.
At the heart of the storm is Mike "Rooter" Mose, torn between his burgeoning affection for the admiral's stunning young wife, Maria, and his deep respect for the seasoned sailor. As the tale crescendos aboard the admiral's Manhattan cruise ship, amidst celebrations of their narrow escape from imprisonment, Maria's covert flirtations threaten to tip the balance.
Dive into a tale of loyalty, love, and the unforeseen challenges that test the mettle of heroes.
