Misadventures Of A Teenage Gunrunner

By Joseph Johnson

Book Overview

A near-fatal explosion in childhood leaves Joseph "Josey" Johnson with multiple scars and a reckless attitude that shapes his entire life. An adrenaline junkie by six, young Josey is getting drunk regularly by eight. As a teen, he tags along with his older brother's cowboy buddies, getting into fights, partying, and trying to get laid as often as possible. He's happy enough, but the idea of a lifetime as a New Mexico cowboy really doesn't appeal. Then his girlfriend's father makes Josey an unexpected offer: help him run a shipment of guns into Central America. It's a promise of adventure Josey can't resist, but he quickly discovers the thrills and money don't outweigh the risk of dangerous enemies-and even more dangerous friends. As Josey finds himself drawn ever deeper into gunrunning's sinister world, he finds himself forced to make a choice: become a full-fledged outlaw or get out while he still can. Misadventures of a Teenage Gunrunner recounts Joseph Johnson's remarkable true adventures in Central America as a young man struggling to discover who he is and the man he wants to become.
