Blood Stream [Paperback]

David R. Ferneding (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 5, 2000

Blood Stream, is a 408 page novel about historical action and romance. It's about why Cubans and Americans are compelled to live under the existing political circumstances, and the powerful secret of an ancient rite entombed in the catacombs of the mind.

The story appeals to Baby Boomers because it reveals 40 years of untold perjuries hidden in the history they, themselves, made.

Blood Stream flows to the decisions that confront our children and echoes the incarnations of a mother and her new-born baby daughter. At the age of 20, the daughter departs from this world, for another.

Blood Stream is popular with the reader who loves high adventure with a mystical and historical ring. It is the unavoidable lesson that one generation leaves to the next.

About the Author

David R. Ferneding is a native South Florida writer. His first book, The End of A1A, is about the Florida Keys, mega yachting in the Caribbean, and Cuba. It can be purchased on Amazon.com

Dave attended 3 years at UCSB and served with the U.S. Navy at the Underwater Swimmers School and went on to become a U.S. Merchant Marine Officer. For the past 23 years he has captained private yachts for international owners. (He began his writing while making the long trans ocean passages around the world.)

His idea for Blood Stream came from the fact that he has been in and out of Cuba more times than Castro.

Dave has a home in Key West, Florida and a son, Rob, who was born on the island in 1962. Rob is now a yacht captain . Dave has a beautiful daughter, Jennifer who is married and keeps busy with Dave's grandchildren, little Jake and Jordan.

The author spends his summers writing in a small village in France, but when the leaves turn, he gravitates back to South Florida.

5.0 out of 5 stars Blood Stream - obvious "Movie" material, July 20, 2001

This review is from: Blood Stream (Paperback)

Reading this book was like putting a very unique jigsaw puzzle together. But Beware! In the first few chapters the author cleverly gives you several key pieces to scrutinize, dissect and commit to memory . . . before he takes you down a treacherous trail of unbearable suspense, vicious murder and undying love that stretches from Baja to Key West and across the "Blood Stream" to Cuba. Mr. Ferneding very masterfully addicts you to his puzzle, then makes you frantically scour your memory for the missing pieces that fill in the black voids. In the end . . . I still had doubts about the pieces being a perfect fit. My second reading was awesome, as I discovered subtle clues I'd missed! What a tantalizing experience! A definite read for the intellects . . . you'll never guess the ending!

5.0 out of 5 stars Blood Stream... A must read!, July 1, 2000

This review is from: Blood Stream (Paperback)

Blood Stream is a gripping, fast paced voyage of murder, love, and international intrigue. Mr Ferneding is a master at creating twists and turns in the plot. Just when you think you have it figured out, you realize otherwise. "Blood Stream" is a definite "must read" for those who enjoy suspense novels. Pay close attention though, to the first couple of chapters! I couldn't put the book down once I got into it! A great read.

This review is from: Blood Stream (Paperback)

Blood Stream brings into frightening display the evil forces that grow within governments-opposing each other. We always suspect there are things we do not know, when ideas collide and strong men take a stance. It's all here in this page turning thriller. Want to get your blood boiling? Read this book.
