Coralia's Lethal Kiss

About the Book

This is a story about a young woman who is victimized by a brutal incident of government-sponsored terrorism. She evolves into a highly professional rebel fighter and executioner, reminiscent of the beauty and deadly efficiency of “La Coralia”, the Coral serpent native to her homeland of “San Andres”—a Central American country undergoing the violent political and social changes so familiar to any dozens of similar Latin American countries.

Her life merges with that of an American, James Weston, traveling to her country on a mission for his U.S. Company. These two human beings, brought together by the most unlikely of circumstances, are forced to survive rapidly escalating troubles. They find themselves wanted by local authorities and pursued by Cuban and East German mercenaries. They escape through the cities, lakes, and mountains of San Andres on their way to a remote hideout. Their adventure becomes a whirlpool of ever escalating terror. The conclusion of their journey transforms their lives and their future.

About the Author

John May was born and grew up in Latin America. He also spent 15 years of his career as the vice-president of this region for a Fortune 500 Company. In writing this novel, he relies on his years of recollections and observations, not only of this wonderfully diverse region and its people, but also his personal experiences with different local governments, dictators, revolutionaries, Contra rebel leaders, and even Fidel Castro. Plus of course, the various U.S. Government agencies and multinational corporations involved.

All of this he enriches with fictional creativity, daydreams, nightmares, and even some dark humor.
