I especially liked the multiplicity of place: air, land and sea...in and out of boats, airplanes and unexpected locations. Constantly coming at you, it all works. If this book were a movie - and it soon well may be - it'd be in 3D!? Ken has been a cadet officer in the British Merchant Navy, a qualified teacher of English & drama, a stage actor & director.
