MEADVILLE, Pa., Dec. 5, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Tico": an unforgettable tale of love, friendship, and adventure. "Tico" is the creation of published author Rocky Russell, a great-grandfather, Bible student, and retired construction worker who served as counselor at the Billy Graham Crusade and spends his retirement writing in the countryside.
Russell writes, "Within these pages is excitement, adventure, romance on the high seas, civilization, and the wilds of the jungle—all set in the mid-1800s. This is the story of a young Dutchman who becomes a man very quickly. This is a story of his friendship and devotion to a full-grown gorilla named Tico. Together they fight outlaws, pirates, and wild natives. This is a story of trying to overcome adversities and tame a wild land in the heart of Africa while making a home for family and friends. Lastly, this is a story of friendship between man and beast. You will laugh, cry, and cheer for them every step of the way."
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Rocky Russell's new book is a stirring, heat-pounding, colorful tale that delves into a classic scenario of how a man may save a beast, but the beast will ultimately save the man.
Russell's wholly engaging narrative will take the reader through the untamed heartlands of Africa, across the open ocean, among the hostile jungles of islands, and deeper into the beastly nature of people compared to the humanity of an ape.
