When the Stetson company has an opportunity to manufacture jeans in Thailand, the brand's heir apparent Jeff Stetson leaves Texas to visit on-site in Bangkok, only to find out that the proposed partnership threatens deplorable working conditions for the laborers. After getting kicked by a foreman while intervening to protect a helpless child, Jeff determines to enter a Muay Thai kickboxing tournament. Will Jeff get another whipping? Or will justice, and a good piece of steak, be served?

Stetson Jeff never realized that his brain was so special, but it's true that he can learn complex, obscure languages in just a few weeks. He heads off to Oxford University for a semester to get hooked up to brain scans and learn Korean for a chance at an honorary degree. But is being a smart person something Jeff has time for right now? Heck no. Hot on the trail of A.S.P. now, Jeff leaves England headed for Egypt and then ... well, we wouldn't want to spoil the story now, would we?

When Stetson Jeff Stetson takes some time to think about a clue he picked up in Pennsylvania Dutch Country, he realizes that his hero, Ranger Johnstone, may have hidden some kind of precious cargo that he stole from the Russians in Havana somewhere in Belize. Precious... and potentially lethal. Could it be nukes? Of course it could. But what if the shadow organization A.S.P. beats him to it? Between encounters with sharks and agents from the counter-shadow organization R.A.T.S., will Jeff survive long enough to get out of sunken submarines and a cave with the bones of a male Mayan princess?

Now that Stetson Jeff has captured one of A.S.P.'s most dangerous operatives, he's on the trail of The Don. His pursuit of justice takes him to Gibraltar, Bilbao, and Pamplona, the site of Spain's greatest rodeo. Soon enough he's hiking his way across northern Spain on the Camino de Santiago, where he encounters a friendly band of modern Vikings. Together they must survive deadly attacks and hike all the way to Valhalla or something. But will Stetson Jeff be able to track down The Don before The Don finds him? And what's really behind A.S.P. and all these shadow government separatist groups?

Stetson Jeff returns to the United States in pursuit of the mysterious A.S.P. The gang turns out to be more dangerous than even Stetson Jeff could imagine, so he flees Philadelphia and finds refuge among the Amish in Paradise, Pennsylvania. More kickboxing, bad guys and low-speed chases ensue (think forklift vs. horse and buggy). With a nod to Harrison Ford's "The Witness" and plenty of other 80s tropes, Stetson Jeff, now changing hats as often as an Amish family goes to church, is in serious trouble, but he'll find his way through.

After the Songklam gang chases Stetson Jeff Stetson out of Thailand, he travels to Marrakesh, where he ends up in a camel race and discovers that a mysterious company called A.S.P. is up to no good. Will Stetson Jeff ever make it back to Texas? And is there any steak—or justice—to be had in Morocco?

Building a legacy is not about your name on a building. In this book, authors Fleming and Jansen describe how to make a legacy goal and discuss the value of difficult physical challenges like hiking the Camino de Santiago as a way to examine virtues, values, and a code of ethics so that legacy oriented people can think through how they want to live out their legacy.
