A Riveting Novel of Great Global Suspense,
By MN Mama (Northern Minnesota) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Marionette Adrift (Paperback)
American rock `n' roll excess, World War Two persecution and a vivid but brief European freedom struggle combine to dramatic effect in Stephen O. Boyo's fictional novel The Marionette Adrift. I read this novel on a very long plane trip - and I am so glad I did. The Marionette Adrift portrays an incredible year in the life of America's famous X-Cult singer Lars Brunner, a man with the world at his feet yet ill-at-ease with fame and exposure. However, tremulous incidents revolutionize his life and set him adrift. Pulled by the strings of fate, Lars' journey leads to Las Palmas, where he unwittingly becomes a fugitive and meets the beautiful and mysterious art student Renee De Haro. Both are guilty of concealing dark secrets from each other. But as their relationship deepens in Barcelona and Bilbao, Lars becomes embroiled in the dangerous world of Basque civic pride and militant terrorist activity. Along the way, Lars uncovers a past he thought was long dead and buried before descending into a nightmare. Traversing continents in a breathlessly dangerous and absorbingly dramatic fashion that entwines romantic devotion, subterfuge and mysterious murder, The Marionette Adrift is a dynamic, literally explosive work. Highly Recommended!
