Author Description

The hero, Chester (Chet) Lake, is part Native American and part African-American, but a citizen of the world. He is a mature person in his fifties, not a kid. He is no stranger to danger or human nature. He uses his heritage, his background in urban planning and his maturity to slip across borders and into and out of communities around the world, enabling him to perform international intelligence work. Along with English, he speaks French, German, Spanish, Arabic and a bit of Mandarin Chinese. Chet has the perfect background, as a city planner, to move through an urban world for which his training and mixed ethnicity are an advantage. Chet faces a new challenge, take a dangerous assignment from the President of the United States or be retired from the Agency. Chet is not alone on this adventure. Young newlyweds he meets in London want to see what Chet's is up to as he revisits World War I urban venues. They follow him through interesting cities and witness his near death adventures. But who is Chet Lake?
