Book Description

January 26, 2006
In a crime ridden San Diego neighborhood a lone police officer holds the line between good and evil. For two years Officer Owen “Blue” Drew is secretly detailed to a one man, covert operation to disrupt drug activities and arrest the most vicious and notorious gang members in a forsaken sector. In the process a contract is put out on his life by the drug lords and he eventually sacrifices everything to his personal war on crime.

In the frenzy of battle and violence Blue realizes he is on the brink of madness. His world begins to implode on him. Consumed by the violence, he leaves the Department to search for something lost within himself. His journey takes him through over thirty countries, three continents and thirteen time zones. This epic two and a half year passage ends in a small Swiss mountain village and to a sacred place within himself. A place where many people, cultures and religions lent a helping hand, to a place of tranquil peace, where the doorway to the heart is opened forever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Breakout first novel, March 3, 2006
By 
This review is from: The Thirteenth Time Zone (Paperback)
I highly enjoyed reading this action-packed novel. I've always wondered what would happen if I just quit my job and traveled the world, so it's really neat to see my daydream played out in a fictional story. Also, being from San Diego, it hit close to home with the references to places around town. San Diego may be a tourist's dream, but it definitely has it's dark spots just like any city. I encourage other readers to pick up this one.

I was also surprised to find out that David Jebb is a first time author because the story flowed so well!

5.0 out of 5 stars Could be a best seller, March 14, 2006

This review is from: The Thirteenth Time Zone (Paperback)
A friend told me about this book and I thought "oh great, just another retrospective cop story." I saw the book lying around and got intrigued by the back cover write-up. I have to say, it's really a real page-turner!

If I was a book critic, I'd say "Raw and refreshing. Entertaining and insightful. Inspiring! You just may learn a thing or two--Go grab a copy NOW!"

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't miss this one, March 9, 2006
By 
Donnita E. Hall (Carlsbad, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Thirteenth Time Zone (Paperback)
Not just another cop story. Although it starts out with life on the force, and this part is good, the bulk of the book follows a much different story line. The wide eyed and open dialog as the lead character travels across the world will keep you glued to the book. A kind of "Siddartha with a badge" story that will leave you wanting more from David Jebb. Well done.
