This book seemed as if it took no talent to write and it was worthless to read. The only thing good about this book was the cover. Of course, you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover.

It was like cheech and chong visiting the north west. I waited moths for my library to order this book for me and it ended up being some chicano-beatnik sounding crap. Nobody in Chelan talks like they did. I just give the "Writter Man" credit for picking such a nice area for the story to take place in.

From the very first chapter, the author takes the reader on a wild ride! The characters are real; the topics timely. Explore the not-so-serene Pacific Northwest in this it-could-happen novel. Where will all those $millions$ go when they leave Hong Kong? Find out about one frightening possibility. Put this one on your "to read" list

Lion wrote a debut novel set in the magical Northwest with all the necessary elements of mainstream fiction, and more. Ladies will love the romance, men will enjoy the action. The cast of Chelan reminded me of the TV show Northern Exposure. The plot, about a Hong Kong corporation relocating its assets to America, is really not so fictional at all. Lion reminds me a little of Tom Robbins. And Lion wrote this book in a federal prison? Bravo! This author will be one to watch as his style matures. Can't wait to read his next work, a memoir of his rise and fall in the marijuana trade, five years with a policemen's daughter as a fugitive, capture on Unsolved Mysteries, and his evolution into the promising writer who penned Chelan. Tired of those heavily marketed mainstream novels? Give this one a try.
