I wrote "Wake of the Warrior" only as practice, ( I have plans to write
a complex woman's fiction novel and wanted the experience to write it
the way I envision it.) "Wake of the Warrior" has some problems, but
compared to some of the garbage action books I've read, it holds it's
own. It is based on a true story of French government corruption.It is a Coming Of Age story of three young men, one's a brilliant young
criminal (Angel) who wishes to go straight, but who believes his heart is
inherently wicked. The second one (Kevin) has a bit of a sci-fi twist, a
strange suicidal character with a major identity crisis, (this character
is drawn very matter of fact, with the emphasis placed on his need to
accept himself or die.) The third (Dusty) is a violent young man who lives
under the assumption that he has no self worth, to himself or anyone.
They are best friends whose devotion to each other will either destroy
them or create three very unlikely heroes.They are framed for a ship bombed by a French military demolition team,
and are forced to use every ounce of cunning to not only survive, but to
clear their names and bring the real terrorists to justice. The subplot
traces the powerful French Defence Minister as he uses his vast
resources to ruthlessly pursues them.Sort of a Die Hard meets The Fugitive meets The Big Blue.
