My latest book review Blogger News Network October 25th, 2007 by
Andrew Ian Dodge Palawan C D Williams A little under 250 pages with
a nice tropical scene on the cover might lead you to believe that
this was a fluffy little novel about romance in the South Seas. And
that is just the point of the cover, to lure you into this
rip-roaring thriller with Islamic terrorists and 'Nam vets. Locals
as diverse as the lush tropical jungle of the Philippines and Sin
City aka Las Vegas add to a nice mixture here. This is a great
thriller that never once drags anywhere. The pace is quick, the
novel is well laid out and the editing is better than most mass
market paperbacks. The fact that Williams has pulled off a timely
terrorist thriller with more pace and less verbiage than the mighty
Tom Clancy is to be applauded. This is a perfect novel for someone
flying from the East Coast of the US to Vegas. A perfect travel
novel that has enough to get you distracted but not enough to get
turgid. I highly recommend this novel and feel almost intimidated
that this is Williams' debut. The novel would make a perfect movie,
as long as Williams could make sure the baddies stay the same.
Methinks there is a great script right below the surface. Let me
assure you that it does not read like a script made into a novel.
If you are in search of a good novel to while away a few hours
before you sleep at night might I suggest Palawan? For more

Empire. The story of The Traitor opens with the order of

fierce neighborhood feuds which marked the Klan's downfall in the
Piedmont region of the South. See other titles by this author

1903. The American newspaperman and novelist begins The Sherrods:
Through the soft summer night came the sounds of the silence that
is heard only when nature sleeps, imperceptible except as one feels
it behind the breath he draws or perhaps realizes it in the touch
of an unexpected branch or flower. The stillness of a silence that
is not silent; a stillness so dead that the croaking of frogs, the
chirping of crickets, the barking of dogs, the hooting of owls, the
rustling of leaves are not heard, although the air is heavy with
those voices of the night-the stillness of a night in the country.
All human activity apparently at an end, all sign of life lost in
somber shadows. The ceaseless croaking, the chirping, the hooting,
the rustling themselves make up this unspeakable silence-this
sweet, unconscious solitude. See other titles by this author

1902. The book begins: It was a perfect day of the kind that Mr.
Lowell has celebrated in song-a day in June. It was, moreover, a
day glorified even beyond Mr. Lowell's imagining, by the
incomparable climate of southside Virginia. A young man of perhaps
seven and twenty, came walking with vigor down the narrow roadway,
swinging a stick which he had paused by the wayside to cut. The
road ran at this point through a luxuriantly growing woodland, with
borders of tangled undergrowth and flowers on either side, and with
an orchestra of bird performers all around.
The Traitor A Story of the Fall of the Invisible Empire
1908. The Leopard's Spots is the statement in historical outline of
the conditions from the enfranchisement of the Negro to his
disenfranchisement. The book begins: On the field of Appomattox
General Lee was waiting the return of a courier. His handsome face
was clouded by the deepening shadows of defeat. Rumors of surrender
had spread like wildfire, and the ranks of his once invincible army
were breaking into chaos. Suddenly the measured tread of a brigade
was heard marching into action, every movement quick with the
perfect discipline, the fire, and the passion of the first days of
the triumphant Confederacy. See other titles by this author
available from Kessinger Publishing.
