The Mahogany Mafia, the second book in Alacrity and Dispatch: The Chronicles of a Citizen-Soldier’s Selfless Service, plunges readers into the untamed jungles of Honduras, where Adam Rousselle Sr.’s ambition to build a timber empire collides with a shadowy underworld of corruption and violence. Fresh from the perilous missions of Roux’s War, Adam returns to the very jungle where he once trained the Contras-not as a soldier, but as an entrepreneur with a vision to transform Honduras’ prized mahogany into a cornerstone of economic growth.
What begins as an ambitious venture to construct a sawmill and establish a timber business quickly turns into a battle for survival. In the heart of the rainforest, Adam encounters "The Mahogany Mafia," a syndicate of corrupt officials, criminal networks, and ruthless competitors who will stop at nothing to maintain control of the lucrative mahogany trade. As hijacked shipments and dangerous confrontations escalate, Adam is thrust into a treacherous game of loyalty and betrayal, where every decision carries life-or-death consequences.
Drawing on the resilience and ingenuity forged during his military career, Adam devises strategies to outmaneuver his adversaries while struggling to preserve his moral compass. Yet the risks in the jungle pale in comparison to the personal toll: Adam grapples with the haunting legacy of his father, Gringo Joe, whose larger-than-life exploits in Honduras shaped Adam’s path and now threaten to consume it.
The Mahogany Mafia seamlessly blends gripping action with profound reflection, capturing the volatile beauty of the Honduran rainforest and the brutal realities of those who seek to exploit it. Adam’s battles against The Mahogany Mafia lay the foundation for his audacious efforts to revolutionize the energy industry and combat poverty across Central America.
But like combat, the jungle’s dangers are relentless-and the costs of victory are often higher than anyone can imagine. What will the Mahogany Mafia take as payment?
Suspenseful and deeply personal, The Mahogany Mafia propels the Alacrity and Dispatch series forward, daring readers to confront the costs of ambition and the lengths one man will go to forge a legacy of integrity and transformation.

Adam Rousselle Sr.Chief Executive Officer, Caribbean Basin Power Authority.CBPA Mission: Lead Energy Independence, Build American Prosperity, Fortify National Security by Delivering American Electricity to an Interconnected Hemisphere. Under Rousselle's leadership, CBPA bridges the gap in energy equity by delivering reliable, low-cost electricity throughout the Caribbean, including Cuba, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Honduras, Guatemala, Costa Rica, El Salvador, and Colombia. This transformative mission strengthens regional alliances, enhances U.S. energy independence, and fosters prosperity across the Western Hemisphere.Adam Rousselle is a visionary leader in the energy and bulk electric transmission sectors, with nearly three decades of groundbreaking innovations. He has pioneered advanced remote sensing technologies and transformative energy solutions, earning recognition as a trailblazer in both industries. As the principal inventor of eight U.S. patents and over 30 international patents, his work has revolutionized asset management and operational efficiencies for critical infrastructure.In the late 1990s, Rousselle partnered with NASA to develop remote sensing technologies that inventoried timber from space, redefining timber asset management and improving valuations. His innovations exposed illegal logging in Indonesia and positioned him as the world's leading consumer of commercial satellite imagery by 2003. In 2005, he founded Utility Risk Management Corporation, applying these technologies to optimize vegetation management.Rousselle's expertise led to the invention of thermography, enabling independent facility rating analysis on the bulk electric system, identifying available transmission capacity, and unlocking financial transmission rights. In 2017, he founded Alternative Transmission, Inc., introducing a patented disaggregated battery system that transmits electricity without wires, delivering power during national emergencies.Today, as CEO of CBPA, Rousselle drives American energy leadership in the Caribbean Basin. Through Project Equity, he oversees undersea and underground transmission systems to provide Puerto Rico with resilient, affordable energy. This work enhances energy security for millions of American citizens and establishes the U.S. as the energy powerhouse of the Western Hemisphere.A decorated combat-disabled U.S. Army veteran, Rousselle is committed to resilience, innovation, and humanitarian impact. His leadership ensures CBPA is more than a utility-it is a force for economic growth, national security, and regional prosperity.
