In The Blue Eyed Devil movie maker Harvey finds himself entangled in a web of blackmail when he is lured to Carpo, Nevada to listen to a movie pitch. The story revolves around Deval, a young man who grew up in a harsh and unforgiving environment. He was from the wrong side of where the tracks used to be, Ithaca Island. With a mother involved in the world's oldest profession and a fierce protectiveness towards his siblings, Deval's life is marked by struggle and violence. Despite his small stature, Deval possesses a relentless fighting spirit that both intimidates and attracts those around him. As he embarks on a journey, Deval's friends and acquaintances attempt to exploit his violent tendencies for their own gain. His path takes him to Vietnam, where he finds himself imprisoned in a military facility. In a daring escape, he encounters drug smugglers, battles South China Sea pirates, and even faces the unimaginable horror of cannibals. Deval faced all these struggles and battles while navigating the delicate issues of racism. It is during a life-threatening encounter with the cannibals that Deval sustains grave injuries while heroically saving the life of his friend, a man of black descent. The story concludes with a gripping cliffhanger, leaving readers wondering if Deval survives his ordeal. The Blue Eyed Devil draws inspiration from Homer's epic tale, weaving a thrilling narrative of survival, redemption, and the indomitable human spirit. With its gritty portrayal of a troubled protagonist and a series of perilous adventures, this book takes readers on an unforgettable journey through the darkest corners of humanity.
