I had lived and worked in Spain for 14 years when I had the chance to sit down and put together a novel which covered many things for which I love Spain; the history, the Moorish architecture and the fiestas - above all, La Feria de Abril (Sevilla). I wanted to juxtapose comedy with drama, light against dark, good against evil ... and to top it all I wanted an unusual and unlikely hero. So that´s what "The AQALAN Initiative" will hopefully provide. I enjoyed writing it ... something which I hope you might pick up on should you read it.
Overall a strong, crafted narrative that evokes reaction. There is confidence and originality leaping from the pages. The story is utterly engaging and was a pleasure to edit.
A clever and controlled ending to what has been a highly crafted novel that speaks of experience.
I have THOROUGHLY enjoyed reading this submission. I would go as far as saying that it is one of the best I’ve read in all my years working with BubbleCow. I feel strongly that (the author) should be seeking publication for this novel.
