Sex, Drugs and Rock-n-Roll Lead to Trouble in Paradise in Action/Adventure Novel

Wanderlust author finds new way to travel – writing

Chateau-Pacific
Order from Amazon.con

(SPRING, Texas) - The action/adventure novel Chateau Pacific (published by Trafford Publishing) is proof to author John McCraw that idle hands can lead to great rewards. “I spent 13 months living in Saudi Arabia with nothing to do outside of my medical job but read and write,” remembers McCraw. “Robert Ludlum’s books inspired me to write a mystery/action/adventure, so upon my return to the U.S., I collected my notes and began writing.”

Set on a tropical island, Chateau Pacific tells the story of Jeffrey Mason. When Mason is sent on a photojournalism assignment as a cover to gain information on a possible illegal underground ring, he soon realizes the “simple” assignment is going to be anything but. When an Asian princess, an immigrant group of Columbians and a Muslim contingency are thrown in the mix, all hell breaks loose. Surrounded by beauty, wealth and indulgence, the observer becomes the observed as the truth becomes known and the playlist expands into terrorism.

Spinning a clever plot, Chateau Pacific finds many paths through the jungle of hedonistic pleasures. “It’s an adventure few have traveled,” says McCraw. “All adult, all-inclusive resorts have different meanings to different people. Chateau Pacific could and should exist somewhere. When circumstances beyond control turn deadly, survival at all costs has but one meaning.”
