Blue Limbo [Paperback]

Frank Lauria (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 1991

Frank Lauria's best-selling novels are known for their odd characters and couplings, and Blue Limbo offers some of the oddest when a power hungry bureaucrat teams up with a Haitian voodoo master. The two are turning unsuspecting victims into zombies and slowly taking control of society. Psychic detective Dr. Orient gets involved when he is called in as a consultant for a mysterious submarine accident (a result of the zombification of one of the passengers). Sidetracked by a voodoo temptress, the good doctor is captured. Only when he makes contact with a higher spiritual realm can he transform zombie powers into a force for good. Frank Lauria has cited masters like H.P. Lovecraft and A. Merritt as influences, but Blue Limbo remains uniquely his own in mixing the fantastic with the outrageous.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tough to put down, September 19, 2003

This review is from: Blue Limbo (Paperback)

This book is fun! Frank Lauria has created a clever and cool book that is difficult to put down. The main character, Owen Orient, is sort of James Bond-like but with psychic powers. Lauria has managed to create a very believable world with that is completly captivating. If you like this one, check out Lauria's RAGA SIX.
