The Saga of Captain Jonathan Teague The H.M.S. Dolphin went down with all hands lost during a killer typhoon in 1865. Miraculously, Captain Jonathan Teague survived the violent storm. Nevertheless, that was only a small part of his ordeal. He found himself marooned on the Great Island of Sumatra where he fought predatory cats, savage warlords, deadly crocodiles, starvation, headhunters, and a sadistic witchdoctor bent on enslaving Captain Teague for the rest of his life. Since the loss of the Dolphin, Jonathan Teague's life is the story of a man who was spiritually broken by an unfortunate series of events, a victim of extreme circumstances and horrible possibilities. He was a man determined to survive at all cost. The Hot Rains of Sumatra is a tribute to those individuals who fight to survive and overcome the forces of nature even when there seems to be no way out of the jaws of death. www.thomasemmonpisano.com
