O knihe
Who could have guessed that lonley Meyer Island would be at the center of racist greed, murder and revenge? THE FACULTY GANG is the ecological thriller recounting the troubles that arise when the U.S. Navy tries to rid itself of Meyer Island, a former ammunition storage facility in the Sacarmanto Reiver Delta on the estern edge of the San Francisco Bay.
Meyer Island, a veteran of WWII, is now a natural bird sanctuary often shrouded in fog muting the ghost-ship-haunted memory of what went on there in the '40's. It has healed itself with natrual grasses and welcomed-back birds where a symphony of birdcalls often freezes visitors to listen in the waving ocean of sea grass.
An agency set up by the covernment must select the private proposal that will best use the land. This brings into deadly conflict, the plan of a group of vicious businessmen who wish to exploit the island and the local university facutly's proposal for a more benign use of the land.
Romance, racial tension, humor, revenge, murder and ultimate satisfaction dance together in this timely, eco-mystery-tango.
This well-timed novel is, "Silent Spring" as if written by Rachel Carson, James Lee Burke and George Carlin with help from Erica Jong".
