Adventure on a DARE: Real-Life Story of Fritz T. Sprandel Â– An American Dream with Cuban Jail Consequences.

(I-TravelNewswire.Com, June 12, 2012 ) Hamburg, PA -- In the eyes of most readers, Fritz T. Sprandel’s amazing adventure in the 1970’s sounds like something that even Hollywood couldn’t write. However, to Sprandel himself, the story was a very real reality – and is now exposed for the first time in his book, Adventure on a DARE.

The book forms the first in a series of true-life accounts, placing focus on the author’s personal journey of self-discovery. Following an adventure that was memorable for all of the wrong reasons, Sprandel emerged with a new-found knowledge of his unpredictable character and questions about the nature of faith.

“The book describes a journey I took in the 1970s, visiting a variety of natural wonders and amazing people on a budget of just ten cents. I had nothing to my name except my own resourcefulness” says Sprandel, a native of Pennsylvania.

He continues, “However, after battling the challenges of the wild and open water, I found myself on Cuban soil and bearing the brunt of false espionage charges.”

Among all of the unrest in Castro’s Communist Cuba, Sprandel endured a revolutionary tribunal trial –eventually landing back on American soil bearing only the scars of his memories.

“Throughout the ordeal, everyone I met, everything I experienced and every lesson I learned all became a part of me, embedded for good. Every piece formed steps in my journey to meaning,” Sprandel adds.

Perhaps one of the most profound moments of Sprandel’s journey came during a conversation in jail with Lester Perry, former Head of the Communist Party in the United States.

“He told me that ‘the easiest thing in the world to do is to be a communist in a free country; but don’t try to be a communist in a communist country’.”

Critics liken Adventure on a DARE to the travels of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn – each risking life, limb and dignity to fulfil their dreams of adventure.

While exploring the theme of personal freedom and challenging the promise of the American dream, Sprandel’s journey thrusts readers out of their comfort zone and into a realm they will likely never experience.

“I hate stealing someone else's line but " the worst part about this book is that it ends!" I read a LOT of books and I can honestly say that this is now my favorite book. Fritz has an uncanny way of letting the reader feel like he/she is a part of the adventure” says John Bromfield, who eagerly awaits more of Sprandel’s revelations in his next book.

Robert Ritson was equally as impressed:

“Throughout the novel I had to keep reminding myself it was all a true story. The epilogue was very moving to me and did a very good job at tying everything together. I want to let you know I will be loaning out my copy to my friends to read as well. I am sure they will enjoy it just as much as I have. Please let me know when your next book is coming out,” he says.

For literary adventurers young and old, Adventure on a DARE satisfies every thirst. While engaging readers with its travelogue-style expose’ of interesting places and colorful characters, those who live life on the edge will revel in the book’s captivating drama of lone adventure and the suspense of a Communist courtroom.

“I like to think that it is fun and engrossing – a worthwhile escape from everyday life. The best bit is that there’s more to come – from elements of my life that I have never shared before” Sprandel concludes.

About Fritz T. Sprandel

Fritz Sprandel was born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and grew up in Allentown, Pennsylvania with his mother and two older brothers. Unfortunately, his family often didn't realize his potential or affirm his value. Fritz's brothers would bait him with dares that Fritz took them up on, which meant he was always in trouble. He was definitely the black sheep of the family.

Besides thriving on dares, Fritz spent most of his working life as a sales coordinator with Keller Marine and RV Distributors in Port Trevorton, Pennsylvania. Now retired, Fritz fills his days writing about his many adventures, playing golf, studying the Bible, and driving part time for the limousine division of Bieber Transportation Company of Kutztown, Pennsylvania "to pay for the golf."
