The Orchid and the Emerald by Timothy David Mack

For all you historical fiction readers, this one has it all. You’ll be thrust into the post-Napoleonic world and follow Captain William Gunn as he journey’s to the jungles of South America in search of a legendary rare black orchid, which might hold the cure to save his young daughter. He will have to team up with Nathanial Yankee, a mountain man on the run from America. From land battles between the rebels and the Spanish, headhunters, wild animal attacks, and sea battles, these two will face all obstacles and form a bond that will last a lifetime.

This is a new author for me and I purchased his second book as soon as this one was finished. Looking forward to more adventures.
