KALIMBO ISLAND IS A MINERAL-RICH, VAST NEO-FEUDAL kingdom in Africa, a famed tourist paradise, an OPEC state ruled by Obong Otondo VII, a benevolent despot.When Mr. Lee H. Winter, an American oil tycoon arrives the island, with his new wife in tow, he has only his honeymoon, the glorious sunshine and the pristine beaches on his mind. Also in his company is his son Donald Winter, a Republican politico and a newly-elected member of the US House of Representatives.But their vacation unravels faster than a jack rabbit in front of a prairie fire. First, Donald Winter disappears without trace in a yachting incident. Then civil war breaks out on the island and the Winters find themselves haplessly tangling with P. K. Babarosa, an androgynous water goddess with an ego twice the size of Texas. Meanwhile, their dream vacation morphing into a mind-bending adventure-the stuff of which nightmares are made.

Ever dream of selling up and running away to sea? Diane Stuemer and her husband, Herbert, were once a typical suburban couple entering middle age, with a comfortable home and three boys under twelve. A year later they had sold their business, rented out their house, and were setting out to circumnavigate the globe in a 40-year-old yacht. Their entire sailing experience consisted of six afternoons on the Ottawa River. Over the next four years, squeezed into quarters no bigger than the Stuemers’ old bedroom, the family of five would become seasoned mariners. They would battle deadly storms at sea and evade real-life pirates. Dodge waterspouts and lightning strikes and witness the bombing of the USS Cole. See the staggering beauty of Borneo’s rainforest, and its destruction from logging. Be arrested at gunpoint and entertained like visiting royalty. In all, they would visit 34 countries and cover 35,000 nautical miles. Almost everywhere they went, the family made lasting friendships. They learned to trust each other and embrace opportunity, and in Kenya they learned the true meaning of humanity. As Northern Magic pushed onward, many thousands followed the family’s progress in Diane’s dispatches to the Ottawa Citizen, and thousands more turned out to cheer when the amazing Stuemers came home.
