On his return from Vietnam, John Clarkson goes badly astray in his life for a while. But all that changes when he's on a job in South America and receives a nearly lethal bite from a spider. That's when he meets a Chilean mystic who not only saves his life; he helps John develop unsuspected abilities that transform him from a going-to-seed, middle-aged guy, to a magnetic, powerful figure, whose life becomes a thrilling action-adventure. On his return from Chile, John finds himself flying high-tech planes, romancing beautiful women, travelling the world, and building a financial portfolio that brings him untold riches. But nothing comes without a price, and John's fortune soon attracts the interest of a range of dirty-dealers, who would like nothing better than to get their hands on his money and see him dead. Fast-paced, humorous, and jam-packed with surprising adventures, Venom Flight explores what happens when a man discovers astonishing talents in himself and makes the very most of them.
