Blake Wrightman died during the Vietnam War. Not on a Southeast Asian battlefield, but on an American college campus. He died the day the bomb he planted at an anti-war protest claimed a small boy’s life—and forced Blake Wrightman to vanish. Now, after twenty-years as “Charlie Ochs,” Cape Cod lobsterman, Blake finds out that the feds are closing in. But a vengeful G-man gives Charlie a choice: face the music or help smoke out the beautiful hardcore radical who seduced him into the anti-war movement back in the ’60s. So begins a long, strange trip for the former Blake Wrightman, as he revisits the scene of a deadly revolution that didn’t end with the Vietnam War—and is about to claim a few more casualties. . . .

5.0 out of 5 stars
a new William Goldman,

This review is from: Revolution #9 (Mass Market Paperback)
As Goldman is my all-time favourite writer, this is a high compliment indeed. I just love Abrahams' writing style. It is surpassed only by the diverse subjects he writes about. This man is an authority on many aspects of life, both high and low and he is particularly knowegable on most sports. As I am not really a sports fan, it is a mark in his favour that he is able to hold my interest here. This book also deals with campus life, about which he knows a lot and writes extremely well. His style also reminds me a lot of the late Jerome Weidman who was my (then) favourite writer. Go Peter, go, more of the same please.

Intrigue and mystery,

This review is from: Revolution #9 (Paperback)
Peter Abrahams books all have one thing in common, they make you want to read them again. (It is kind of like a movie that you want to watch again and again so you can catch the killer when he shows his hand early in the movie.) He has several story lines going at one time and when you get about halfway through the book you are compelled to finish! He is very good at depicting the female characters, even though he is male. I have read all but three books in the last month and I am ravenous for more.

This review is from: Revolution #9 (Mass Market Paperback)
Predictable. If you need some pulp to kills some time, and don't want to pay too much atention to what you are reading, this may be for you.
