From the Introduction: As long ago as the 2,000 years B.C.E., Egyptian merchants imported frankincense and myrrh, spices, ivory and other expensive goods from a mysterious land called Punt. It is likely that Somalia was, or was a part of, ancient Punt. Somalia, on the eastern Horn of Africa, has a long shoreline that is lapped by the waves of the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea Gulf. It is at the southern end of the world as known to the ancient civilizations of Egypt and the Middle East.

PUNT is the true story of John Nies. John gets cut from the NFL's Buffalo Bills and then goes down a uniquely dark path filled with orgies, black tar heroin, auditions with Joel Schumacher for the role of Batman, marijuana kingpins, Mexican Federales, tryouts with the Pittsburgh Steelers, hang-outs with: Pam Anderson, WWE Superstar Goldberg, and his MTV famous brother, Eric Nies. John had no clue that oil wrestling on that particular night, "the prettiest girl he ever saw," at the Hollywood Tropicana would change his life forever. "It's hard to read about such a great talent flushing his God-given gift down the toilet in deference to pleasures of the flesh, drugs and just plain excess. It's a combination of a non-fiction based novel, married with a self-discovery book in which the epic tragedy doesn't fully round out until it plummets way past the point of redemption even seeming possible." - Mark Ross"I used to think that I've lived a full and wild life...then I read PUNT and now I feel like Mother Teresa!" - Buck J.
