MISSION BOY tells a little-known, true story of early American history. Nearly forty years before the English founded their first permanent colony in the New World, at Jamestown, a small group of Jesuit missionaries sailed north from Havana, Cuba to virtually the same location. Guided by a Native American convert to Christianity whom they called Don Luis, the Jesuits hoped to bring Christianity to the Algonquin Indians and to claim a new territory for King Phillip II of Spain. Their mission did not go according to plan. The Indian guide they depended on slipped back into the forests. Within half a year, only one of their number remained alive. And he had to wait more than another year for rescue, in a vast, beautiful, but treacherous land. In a manuscript written nearly 50 years ago, but not published until now, venerated Chesapeake Bay poet and novelist Gilbert Byron tells their tale. At long last, his story finds its readers in Mission Boy.

Dr. Angel Stuart is a young veterinarian with a research specialty in Zoonoses, diseases transmitted from animals to humans. Born in Russia, and adopted by a couple from Atlanta, she speaks Russian and English because her parents thought she should learn her native tongue. She loves ballet and life is great … until she gets an interesting invitation from the President of the United States. When information about the location of an old Soviet-era bio-warfare dump full of anthrax spores is uncovered, the US and British governments want it checked for leakage or tampering. But the dump is no longer part of Russia, but in Kazakhstan, a former Soviet territory north of Afghanistan. They need an expert to investigate and find a way to secure the site before it leaks or is tampered with by Al Qaeda or the Taliban, either of which would prove disastrous to the region and possibly the world.Asked to be that expert, Angel goes to Moscow on a research grant to discover what she can and find a way to get to the burial site to check it out.
