Riassunto

Facing one's fears while engaging in advanced risk-taking and sometimes thought-provoking coincidences that dramatically changed lives are relevant themes throughout this personal narrative. Daniel Turner grew up in Seattle, Washington, and later worked for the US Department of Defense Schools in Europe. This story begins with the dramatic search for a lost college student in a remote part of one of the San Juan Islands in Washington State. The reader is invited to come along on this adventure and many others. All are true stories!"Unexpected Encounters" continue with significant events during the writer's early days that involved extreme exploits and near calamities to include skydiving while still in high school, learning to fly a plane as a teenager and numerous high-risk stunts such as climbing high-tension-wire towers and clinging to steel girders under a bridge. Developing self-confidence from facing one's fears at an early age may have allowed Daniel to leave Seattle alone for London, England work as a teacher while in his twenties. There, he meets and marries a British lady who joins him on the next adventure, this time in Ankara, Turkey.The writer regales the reader with stories of their travels throughout Turkey in the 1970s where his new bride worked for the Communist Chinese Ambassador which resulted in a visit from the CIA and later led to an unexpected exodus from that country.Subsequently assigned to Greece as a teacher, "Unexpected Encounters" continues while living near Athens. There, in addition to being "adopted" by a Greek family with their colorful traditions, The Turners became acquainted with an agent, later to become a famous CIA operative featured in a popular Hollywood thriller.
