Quatro

The four tales in Quatro are individual stories that cover a wide spectrum of history, geography, and culture, ranging from the battlefields of World War I and the mines of Congo to the classroom and the church rectory. Through these stories, readers meet such key people as Dietrich Berkemeier (aka Rick Berk), Father Paul Barton, agent Bob Lingdren, and gem hunter Dan Drake. Each is entwined in a drama both of their own and others' making--all looking for a meaningful life and even a more meaningful legacy. Apart, these narratives recount the sadness of failure and loss as well as the exultation of triumph and success--the joy of winning or the desperation of losing. Together, these chronicles provide insight into the human condition and perhaps useful lessons learned. These four adventures take the reader to exotic locales as well as the foulest of locations as the characters in this quartet of romantic and sometimes brutal accounts struggle to survive and then thrive.
