On a search for a rare, thought to be extinct tortoise, Jim Morgan, a Field Engineer for the Institute of Intuitive Thought, finds more than fun and high jinx during his personal hunt for incarnate happiness. Hired by an old flame, Eunice May North, Morgan expects to pick up the relationship that he shattered with a youthful and drunken infidelity two years earlier. Instead -- he finds new love, lots of new love, and a twisted romance that carries him all the way around the world from an icy Russian island in the Bearing Straits eastward back to Red Square one, in downtown Moscow. 
Murder, mayhem, and beautiful women challenge Morgan to complete the expedition for the Malagasy Rex. The evil expatriated Russian, Margolova, has set her rattlers into action as she slips, venomously, below the equator to steal the Malagasy Tortoise if, indeed, one is ever found. Or is that her only clandestine goal? 
The Island of Madagascar, once a stomping ground to the pirate, Captain Kidd, is hiding darker evils than portent by a Jolly Roger hoisted atop a three-mast sailing bark. There’s an estuary at Pimakeel Bay, an idyllic paradise on the Mozambique Channel, this bay is camp to a classified group of English C-5 undercover agents. They are there to research the inlet as a future, hidden, submarine base. Just what is it that Margolova really wants as she turns this island paradise into a mass grave of covert operatives? 
Why should Morgan, a happy-go-lucky Engineer, be the one, self-elected, to stop the rampage of the mad bitch, Margolova? Is it Love? Revenge? Or just a simple case of -- "A man’s got to do, what a man’s got to do." Is Jim Morgan an adventurer, lover, hero, or -- idiot? The perspective choice will fall deftly into your own curious hands as you read, The Malagasy Tortoise, A Jim Morgan Adventure.
