SciFi is my first love but I find to keep some perspective on reality, I need to read other books. James W. Hall writes about as other as I can imagine. This guy writes a story that can keep you up at nights. Thorn, his main character in his books I have read*, is a dyed in the wool lone wolf. He makes lone wolves seem social. Thorn gets into bizarre situations and works his way through them. This particular book has a pirate focus. Interestingly enough, it drove me to the web to see how prevalent piracy is today. It is way more prevalent than I had a clue about. I love the web, it allows quick and easy research albeit often erroneous but still I love it. I am not real fond of reviews that provide too much detail on the book. I often don’t read the slip covers because I want to be surprised. Thorn shows he is growing and possibly maturing in this outing.
I strongly recommend all of the following for a great read, sometimes a bit disturbing but nevertheless a great read. He also wrote “Tropical Freeze”, “Blackwater Sound”, “Red Sky at Night”, “Mean High Tide” and “Hot Damn” which I have not tracked down yet.
Bones of Coral
Buzz Cut
Gone Wild
Hard Aground
