Reviews

[John S. Haselden]

Author knows his stuff

Fictional Silicon City based on San Jose California. Author has written excellent fiction and non fiction based on his successful career as the best police chief of my city for decades. Anachronistic yet brings to life an era pre 2000 ad.

[Lynne]

I found this book to be quite captivating. It draws you in immediately and you feel the passion and confusion of the main character in his changing relationships with those around him

[Frank Cavanaugh]

Not fast paced but interesting and complex plot.
