The Brazilian

by Bill Smith

"The Brazilian" is a dynamic and fascinating tale of two very wealthy handsome young men, an American and a Brazilian, meeting my chance in New York City, becoming instant friends as well as insatiable bed partners. Christian Nelson, living off inherited wealth, is instantly engulfed in Joao de Silva's extensive slave industry in the far reaches of Brazil. After an initial visit to Joao's ranch, he is 'hooked' on slave acquisition, specialized training, breeding, merchandising, and sales and eventually goes into partnership with his Brazilian friend after a second visit a few years late. Over the years the two extend their enterprises to the burgeoning U.S. market and specialize in breeding and sales of "prime" merchandise throughout the entire world as well as U.S. markets. But a sudden U.S. government nationalization of the trillion dollar slave industry leaves both businessmen destitute and enslaved themselves despite their expertise in the making, breaking and sales of millions of 'human livestock." As Joao philosophically reviews his life with Christian, "What goes around comes around."
