About the author

Born in Alaska and raised in California, Robert has led an adventurous life. Since early childhood, he has traveled through some of the most remote, rugged regions of Mexico by canoe, mule, and on foot. He grew up playing outside and exploring the outdoors, usually until after sunset before cycling home to irked parents.
Fast forward to adult life, Robert has taught history and geography in the United States but has always had an itch to learn about distant lands and to live in other cultures. One thing led to another as he ended up living, exploring, and teaching in the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Central Europe. Spontaneous travel by bicycle or on foot is his passion. The risks and pleasant surprises during unplanned excursions are the spices of life.
Today, Robert lives in Florida while exploring the Gulf Coast with his bicycle and kayak. Besides writing his adventure books, one can find him hiking in the European Alps or meandering through Florida's many island mangroves with his kayak. Sipping coffee while people-watching at a street side cafe is an enjoyable pastime. Ideas for his fictional characters are mentally plucked from the passers-by. The Salk trilogy is sprinkled with hints of Robert's outdoor adventures, past travel destinations, and quirky personal life experiences.
He hopes you enjoy his Salk sci-fi, adventure novel series. The prequel series is in the works.

Reviews

[Dawn · Rating 5 out of 5]

"Book of the Dead" is the third book in the "Salk" series. Like the first two books, this one is fast-paced and entertaining, and Robert J. Guerrera's writing grows along with the character building. While this series is aimed at children, there is nothing to stop adults from thoroughly enjoying the adventures of Declan and Dalya. Check it out!
