Ten Thousand Hours in Paradise: Arrival

True Hawaii, Book 1

By: Andrew M. Crusoe

Narrated by: Andrew M. Crusoe

The inspiring true story of one writer’s wild adventure into the gems and perils of the Big Island of Hawaii, a blue feather as his only talisman.

Wild sea turtles, black sand beaches, UFOs, and a volcano goddess living in a lake of lava? That’s only the beginning.

Upon landing, Andrew feels instantly welcome. On his first night, a new friend asks him if he’d like to go on a volcano adventure with her. “Are you serious?” he says. “Yes, of course!”

After picking up some gas masks the following day, they head to Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park, hiking down a secret road toward a massive red glow in the distance. By nightfall, Andrew and his new friends are standing on the edge of a huge lake of bubbling lava, radiating a warmth that feels like the sun on a cloudless day. Its beauty leaves him speechless, and they've brought food. His friends call it “extreme picnicking”, but his adventure has only just begun.

Ten Thousand Hours in Paradise: Arrival is the first in a three-volume action-memoir about the consciousness shift that happens when you embrace Hawaii. Volume 1: Arrival is a true thriller, soaring with pure adventure, unrequited love, deadly lava, mysterious UFOs, ecotourism, and fascinating characters that you’ll never forget.

A Fabulous True Life Adventure Story!

Andrew is such a talented storyteller who is able to draw you in instantly and keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time. This autobiographical account is so intriguing and different from most of us in the 9-5 world. The love he feels for the island and respect for the way of life that is cultured there, shows through in every chapter. If I weren't as tied down in my current circumstances I'd be off to Hawai'i to live happily ever after too! So be warned, this book may give you island fever.
