Publisher's Synopsis
In this first installment of the SEAL Stories Mysteries, Steph Austin, a young, idealistic Navy SEAL struggling to balance his personal beliefs and the expectations of his Team, befriends a curious, intelligent Bolivian boy who wants more than anything in the world to study engineering and see his idol Michael Jordan play basketball. But after Nicolas suddenly and mysteriously dies, Steph knows he must discover the truth, no matter how much trouble it causes his hard-nosed Lieutenant, how much it stresses his revered Chief, or how much his brothers begin to doubt him. The First Fall begins on a pitch-black night on the El Madre de Dios river, dives into the heart of the beautiful and poisonous Amazon jungle, and finishes in the Bolivian city of Riberalta, filled with vengeful politicians, angry citizens, and one young man who must find the truth using his gifted memory, insatiable curiosity, and most importantly, his desire to be "a good man."
