One Tank of Gas

Henry ‘Hank’ Travis is a world-renowned photojournalist. No conflict, nor famine, nor natural disaster of any reckoning hadn't left an indelible mark on his life and his work. But unlike the vulnerable and the abused he sought to give voice to and to protect, when he most needed help, help was there. Two strangers, manifested as saviors, asking nothing in return. Thomas Edward Muir and Manolito Rodriguez Romero had walked through the flames, and they too had not emerged unscathed. Banded together they will expose a vile, mercenary-driven exodus herding lost souls and broken spirits from the Salvadoran coast to the wilds of Sinaloa, Mexico. For Henry Travis, a visceral awakening is all but assured, and it will be embodied by a frail and malnourished victim of a stark and brutal reality.

Vital, compelling and cinematic; eclipsing the tired conventions of contemporary adventure writing, One Tank Of Gas is a journal of redemption that is at once horrifying and brutally honest, aching with melancholy and yet so desperately enriching.
