5.0 out of 5 stars An Unlikely Journey by Frank Stephenson, September 8, 2003

This is a great story, and the author says that the major events are true! Too bad one or more of the major publishers don't pick it up and distribute it more widely. Perhaps Mr. Stephenson's next book will be as good as An Unlikely Journey, I am looking forward to being able to do an Internet search or a search on Amazon.com under his name and see the second book is out.

I particularly enjoyed the "journey" part of the story, where Fred learns the truth about what might happen to the major Islands in the Hawaiian chain should the Admiral continue with his outrageous plan. There is a very clever twist at the end when Fred gets on the bus and relives, word for word, a previous scene from (about) the middle of the story. The author manages to tie all the loose ends together in this chapter.

Our local newspaper here, The Arizona Repulic, needs to do a book review for this novel. They'll do a review for one of their own employees (e.g. Jon Talton), but they seemingly don't pay much attention to local authors. Perhaps that's why this paper is often referred to as The Arizona Repulsive. No wonder so many Arizonans subscribe to the East Valley Tribune and/or the New York Times!

Also, I think the Phoenix central library should buy several copies of the book for their shelves.

This is the best fiction ever written. Well what did you expect me to say, I wrote it!

Honestly, I have tried to be as critical as I can be (and I'm very good at being critical, ask my ex wives), and I am convinced that if the publisher could put a famous author's name on the cover, this creation of mine would sell like sunscreen in Phoenix.

Seriously, thanks to those who have reviewed it and found it to their liking; the check is in the mail.

Absolutely could not put this book down. Suspense, action, a great plot with many twists, never knew what to expect on the next page. I felt like I was part of the story as a bystander, observing each new event, almost like watching a movie. Excellent character development, very real dialog and emotional reactions. Really liked the ending; the reader was never tipped off in advance how this story would conclude. Very much looking forward to his next book. Good job Mr. Stephenson!!!
