The Adventurer’s Son by Roman Dial
 

The Adventurer’s Son is the memoir of Roman Dial, an outdoorsman, adventurer, teacher and father.

On July 10, 2014, his son, Cody, went for a four-day hike through the Costa Rican jungle alone.

He emailed his plans to his father just before beginning this adventure.

That was the last Dial ever heard from his son.

What followed was Dial’s journey to find his son.

This led to years of searching and heartbreak as this desperate father faced questions about himself and his role in the events that led to the disappearance of his boy.

He raised his son to be fearless, independent and to explore the Earth’s wildest places — did that make him ultimately responsible for his fate?

Dial’s memoir is a true-life family saga that is both riveting and devastating.
