A Fera Do Brasil

De T.R. Connolly

Na praia de Boa Viagem, Recife, um menino porto-riquenho, órfão, sem-teto e de passado sombrio, entra em ação. Seu nome é Chunk DeLuna, e ele jamais será pobre novamente. Vinte anos mais tarde, ele é o criminoso mais poderoso do Brasil, proprietário de uma grande construtora e está encarregado de construir um estádio para a Copa do Mundo e as Olimpíadas. Com a aproximação das Olimpíadas, os obstáculos se acumulam para DeLuna: protestos populares, o temor do Zika vírus, a ameaça oculta de um rio subterrâneo, o COI e a FIFA não querem realizar jogos em seu estádio. Ao mesmo tempo, o amor de DeLuna, Lívia, começou a questionar seus valores e motivações para continuar ao lado dele. Chunk DeLuna, a Fera do Brasil, está à beira do abismo!

BECOMING AN AUTHOR:Most writers complete their careers before then turn 70. I'm a little different, I've got a lot of stories bottled up and they seem to want to come out now that I'm 71. You know what they say, 70 is the new 50. They could lower that a bit and I'd be comfortable. But seriously, this is not a bad age to begin writing. You learn a lot in 70 years and if you can put a sentence together you can probably get a good story told.After we curtailed the business, the stories started coming out. Why then? Probably because I had a fairly singular focus on making a living and supporting my family. "The Adored" is first book to get completed from that stream of stories; there are two more novels nearing completion and a book of short stories.PROFESSIONAL CAREERThomas R.
