In the book, it's the Atlantic.
In the show, it's going to be the Pacific.
But going across this journey of violent redemption, he still thinks he's going to die, gets to Mozambique, still thinks he's going to die, doesn't die yet because he has this tumor, and then uses the skills from Iraq and Afghanistan to help with the poaching problem over there.
and then the book really this actual story kicks off from there but i thought it was going to be would be disingenuous to the reader to have this character that went through all the things that he went through in the terminal list all this traumatic stuff losing his family losing his whole troop in afghanistan and then all of a sudden he's okay and just out to save the world in the next book and so i had to take him on this journey and i kind of thought that my my editor and publisher would say hey cut out the first third of this book and we got something here
Instead, they didn't say any of that.
And they took this risk with me and it really differentiated that book and me as an author.
And now Amazon's doing the same thing.
So we have Chris Pratt going across the ocean.
He's got this crazy long hair.
He lost a ton of weight for this thing.
He's like battling the storms and his demons and then gets to Mozambique.
And same thing goes through this second episode where he's out there doing this poacher thing, using his skills out there.
So we got this amazing, just the landscapes, beautiful landscapes.
It's probably one of the most beautiful visions of Africa that I've ever seen on film.
And Chris is totally into it, of course.
And the guy who got to play Rich Hastings, I don't know if we can say his name yet, but he's awesome.
And so he's kind of like the older guy kind of mentoring.
