NATIONAL BESTSELLER "Destined to become an adventure classic." —Anchorage Daily News Hailed as "gripping" (New York Times) and "beautiful" (Washington Post), The Adventurer's Son is Roman Dial’s extraordinary and widely acclaimed account of his two-year quest to unravel the mystery of his son’s disappearance in the jungles of Costa Rica. In the predawn hours of July 10, 2014, the twenty-seven-year-old son of preeminent Alaskan scientist and National Geographic Explorer Roman Dial, walked alone into Corcovado National Park, an untracked rainforest along Costa Rica’s remote Pacific Coast that shelters miners, poachers, and drug smugglers. He carried a light backpack and machete. Before he left, Cody Roman Dial emailed his father: “I am not sure how long it will take me, but I’m planning on doing 4 days in the jungle and a day to walk out. I’ll be bounded by a trail to the west and the coast everywhere else, so it should be difficult to get lost forever.” They were the last words Dial received from his son. As soon as he realized Cody Roman’s return date had passed, Dial set off for Costa Rica. As he trekked through the dense jungle, interviewing locals and searching for clues—the authorities suspected murder—the desperate father was forced to confront the deepest questions about himself and his own role in the events. Roman had raised his son to be fearless, to be at home in earth’s wildest places, travelling together through rugged Alaska to remote Borneo and Bhutan. Was he responsible for his son’s fate? Or, as he hoped, was Cody Roman safe and using his wilderness skills on a solo adventure from which he would emerge at any moment? Part detective story set in the most beautiful yet dangerous reaches of the planet, The Adventurer’s Son emerges as a far deeper tale of discovery—a journey to understand the truth about those we love the most. The Adventurer’s Son includes fifty black-and-white photographs.

Born into nobility, sold into slavery, how can Antonia Aliana free herself from Dominicus her new master, reek her revenge on her treacherous husband, Brutus, and save her father? "She'd lost everything - her home, her friends, her husband, her status, her freedom - even her name. And now she was just somebody's slave. Not even a citizen of Rome. No money. No rights. No redress. She felt utterly abandoned and bewildered... One way or the other she'd make sure her master helped her...Aliana felt certain she could do it. Providing, she didn't have to let him touch her..." "He'd never ever taken what wasn't willingly on offer. Not from any woman; slave or otherwise. But the savage in him wanted to take her now, with or without her invitation...And yet there was something more about her that helped him win the battle and overthrow his baser nature. Something he'd recognised at the auction. Something he intuitively knew he'd never discover if he gave in to his cravings and forced himself upon her. No. Instead, Dominicus knew he needed to exercise persuasion..." Her Master's Slave is a passionate historical romance adventure set in ancient Rome during the despotic reign of Emperor Nero. It is the first book in the series: Tales from Ancient Rome to Entertain & Enthral. Each book can be read as a stand-alone, but Nero will be a familiar character in all subsequent Tales; bringing chaos, turmoil or salvation depending on his whim and how he's feeling on the day... If you love fast-paced ancient world historical romance and the perils of falling in love during such a turbulent era, Her Master's slave will transport you to a world of pure escapism, entertainment and occasional palpitations where you can fall in love with feisty heroines and strong, rugged, slightly over-bearing hero's - who ultimately get tamed. Adult themes, dark imagery and humour are touched upon but overall this is simply a fun, entertaining tale suitable for adults who love to read adventure and romance.
