Description
MONKEYLAND ~ ANOTHER WORD FOR FREEDOM...
THE ULTIMATE TERRORIST -- She calls herself Betty Boop, and she is threatening 600 children with nerve gas. What she doesn’t know is that she is providing the motivation for an entire people to come together.
INDIVIDUAL COURAGE -- His name is Tom Erickson, and he must rescue 600 children. To do so he must come face to face with Betty Boop; he must look her in the eyes and find out what has driven her to commit her heinous crimes.
THE FATHER OF HIS COUNTRY -- His name is Elwin Jones, and yesterday he was a car mechanic. Today he must hold off the United States government long enough to rescue 600 children...and in the process put together a new country.
A REAL WORLD -- Self serving politicians, heroic police contained by an incompetent bureaucracy, a news media that must choose between fact and fiction. AND IT COULD HAPPEN!
The author lived in Los Angeles during the ‘Rodney King’ riots. He smelled the smoke and heard the gunshots.
This is the first volume in the Monkeyland Series.

"Two Five Star Reviews on Amazon
FIRST
Where to start... I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It starts out with white supremacist terrorists taking over a predominantly black school and holding the hostages for ransom. The school takeover and subsequent callousness of the terrorists actions, however, is merely the backdrop for the books main story, and that is an awakening of personal responsibility on the part of the members of South Central.
I liked how the author gave voices to both sides of the racial/political divide. While reading, the characters had great depth to them and I can't wait to continue the journey through the Monkeyland series.
SECOND
I ended up loving it. After the first chapter I wasn't sure if the book was for me but thought I'd give it a chance. After the second, I read it all the way through the same day. It's a page turner. Beware, you won't get much else done the rest of the day so read it when you have spare time.
