Kings Rapids ISBN 9781440139833, iUniverse, paperback 302 pages $14.95 by Jim Overturf
This volume is one of “The Kurt Maxxon Series’ where the main protagonist is a retired Marine Air Force Colonel who races cars in a small track series and is well known as director of races at the Kings Rapids track. [...]
This quite specifically religious monograph is directed to a specific question for a specific audience, and I believe Susi Pittman has quite successfully accomplished her goal in answering the question.
Mr. Casey has put together a story that brings to mind a little of the feeling for the towns and the inhabitants of the area that John Grisham provides in his stories. I found Bruin’s Wake to be an enjoyable read.
JP O’Donnell has provided a romp through a modern-day combined world of international and underworld intrigue that the reader will find difficult to put down.
Running Away From Me, although not a pleasant book, is an interesting read as it graphically presents the roller coaster ride of a drug addict as he pursues a gradual progression in his habit, and describes the dire results to the individual and his family.
I believe Nan Becklean has set forth a most interesting look at a possible future scenario that our enlightened congress probably will wish to ponder.
Lloyd Lofthouse has written a follow-up to his multiple award winning My Splendid Concubine, that would seem destined to follow its predecessor in acclaim.
D. Patrick Miller has written a simple text on forgiveness that includes many platitudes. However, it no doubt will find an interested audience among a number of readers.
This is a book that will provide much to think about when celebrating this time of year that provides so much joy, and yet so much melancholia, for so many people.
