(PRLeap.com) Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc. announces the release of "Michael Farmer: Adventures of a Meteorite Hunter" by Aline Griffin, a compelling true story of one man's relentless pursuit of meteorites-and the extraordinary risks that come with it.In January 2011, Michael Farmer, a former military intelligence specialist turned professional meteorite hunter, travels to Oman for what is meant to be a routine expedition. After uncovering more than one hundred meteorites, he is arrested at the border, imprisoned, and charged with illegal mining. Held in solitary confinement and cut off from home, he ultimately secures his release with the help of his wife, Melodye, and the U.S. Embassy-returning without the priceless discoveries he found.
Just months later, a rare meteorite fall in Kenya draws him back into the field, where the journey turns into a near-death kidnapping deep in the jungle. Robbed and stripped of everything, Farmer is forced to negotiate for his life. Told through layered storytelling and flashbacks, the book reveals the danger, discipline, and passion behind a little-known world of exploration.
Today, Farmer continues his work-building a remarkable collection and contributing to scientific research, including donations to museums and collaborations with Arizona State University to help unlock the origins of life on Earth.
Based on a true story with international scope and cinematic potential.
