Gullible and not-too-bright Naval Intelligence Officer Tom Smith happens to look exactly like the bloodthirsty, hard-drinking, and womanizing South American revolutionary leader Pedrito Miraflores. As part of a dastardly communist plot, Smith and Pedrito are forced to switch places. The innocent young lieutenant finds himself lost in the Andes mountains and Amazon jungles with a price on his head and a trail of grudges, scorned women, and warrants for his arrest.

Meanwhile, rough-and-tumble Pedrito finds himself in just as much hot water trying to impersonate shy and meticulous Tom Smith in Navy Headquarters, where the bars will serve him only milk and no one will deal him in for a hand of poker.

"This is a rare treat. Ai! Pedrito! is a fun-to-read tale of adventure and espionage that will keep you turning pages fast! The synthesis of L. Ron Hubbard and Kevin J. Anderson creates a great effect."

-- Dave Wolverton, New York Times Bestselling Author

"Ai! Pedrito! has all the fast pacing of James Bond and the adventure of Indiana Jones. You'll have a lot of fun reading this book, and you sure won't guess what happens next!
