Mysterious Places, Mysterious Dreams: a Novel Memoir

In this uniquely-written novel memoir, first-time author Steven Rivellino daringly delves into the lives and the minds of three very distinct men as they sail the world on their various voyages of discovery. The book's protagonist, also named Steven, is a young, easily-influenced college student, dangerously on the verge of manhood. While onboard the Norwegian liner , he meets Percy, a somewhat flamboyant British gentleman grandly seeking wealth and good fortune; and Archibald,-an author and historical lecturer nearly thirty years his senior-whose lifetime search for acceptance and love inevitably leaves him in circles. Together, they set out on their journey to circumnavigate the globe. Unknowingly, however, they are destined for an epic adventure of great challenge, learning, and naked self-discovery. The events of the world clearly define their roles - and along the way, their unique relationships evolve from initial denial and great distrust, to a close and dynamic bond- never-before expected; forever true.
