While today's real world slowly grapples with the causes and
consequences of the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and the
flood of illegal immigrants crossing the southern border of the
United States, Stan Rogers, the entrepreneurial hero of Don
Anderson's trilogy (Deadly Calm; Seas the Day; and Golden Results)
employs a different method. Successful and wealthy due to his
skills and vision in the world of technology, Rogers seeks to give
back by addressing the global issues of the day. Rogers already has
had a great impact on the issues of population control, drug
running, illegal immigration, and unsustainable fishing practices.
In Golden Results, Rogers turns his attention to energy. Combining
both realism and idealism, Rogers cuts through the usual
bureaucratic red tape while playing by a set of rules that will
address a level field. Not everyone in the story does. Political
intrigue includes red tape designed to trip-up Rogers and to
marginalize his ideas and vision, while powerful cartel leaders,
seeing Rogers' energy project as a threat to their drug routes,
play by a different set of rules, trailing death behind them as
they try to kill the project. The venue is Baja California and the
ocean with the array of fish that live within. Whether the
challenger takes on dorado, speedy tuna, strong trevelly, or
spectacular tarpon in native waters-or monstrous billfish prowling
the oceans with weapon unsheathed-the chance of success or failure
looms at any time. So it is when Stan fishes; so it is when Stan
addresses a global problem. A strong sense of conservation winds
through the story like a line pulled from the reel by a powerful
fish yet linked to a fisherman who knows and values the integrity
of the sea and its inhabitants.
