Synopsis

I met a man so extraordinary that it gave me cause to sit down and write this book. Maybe I never met anyone who inspired me so, or maybe I never heard a tale that inspired me so, but I felt the events too important to go unrecorded and I also felt uniquely qualified as I alone bore witness to all that unfolded. And so begins the epic tale that is destined to become one of the greatest stories in a generation. Ben Carter is a young American determined to find love, riches and happiness. Along the way he uncovers betrayal, infidelity, and cruelty. He also uncovers billions in treasure that is just being found today. In the 1600s the Spanish invaded South America and committed genocide against the Inca nation to steal the greatest treasure the world has ever known. Most of that treasure made it to Spain on ships but billions was lost to shipwrecks, pirates and hidden on land. A shipwreck off the coast of Cartagena discovered in 2015 is estimated to have over $17 billion in emeralds, gold and silver on one ship (San Jose’). Spain’s main fort in South America was the walled city of Cartagena, Columbia. It was invaded many times by Spain’s enemy’s including the English and French and billions was hidden in the jungles outside the city and has never been discovered. Ben Carter uses modern technology to fly over the rainforest and uncover hidden treasures (the metal detectors people use on the beach are now powerful laser metal detectors shot from a helicopter). But the Columbian Government is determined to protect its national treasures and thwart the “modern day conquistadors “. In another part of the world, over one million people flock annually to a small town in northern Spain to witness one of the worlds great spectacles. Second only to Carnival in Rio in attendance, the annual “Running of the Bulls” in Pamplona is an epic event where people are maimed, gored and sometimes killed to prove their bravery and run with Spains largest bulls. To some people this event is extraordinarily dangerous, to others it isn’t dangerous enough. Ben Carter devises a scheme to create a new worldwide event and make himself rich in the process. If your brave enough to run with two thousand pound bulls will you be brave enough to run with ferocious three hundred pound lions? Order your copy today and become part of the worldwide phenomenon that is “Running with Lions”.
