Discover an Astonishing True Story of Daring and Courage: A powerful testament to the magnitude of human resilience, The King of the Coral Sea is a gripping narrative of Michael Fomenko's legendary voyage. Witness the rugged strength that carried him through his darkest moments, as he paddled a dugout canoe over one thousand nautical kilometres from Cairns Australia to Dutch New Guinea. Faced with grueling physical effort, saltwater crocodiles lurking beneath the waves, and the ever-present danger of storms and jagged coral reefs, Michael never expected to encounter an additional foe: the Australian Government. Hounded by the press and victimized by a government that saw a white man living in the bush as a threat to the social order, Michael became determined to triumph against the odds and complete his incredible feat. Told with flowing prose, vivid imagery, and larger-than-life characters, best-selling author, Robert Louis DeMayo, invites readers to join Michael on his eighteen-month-long solo journey. Shedding light on Michael's fascinating and sometimes dangerous upbringing, The King of the Coral Sea explores the life and legacy of a real-life Tarzan, giving readers a never-before-seen glimpse into his personal Odyssey. Historical Fiction. 1930-2009
