Story Behind The Book

Reviews

<p style="width:auto;color:#111111;" align="justify">Manchee provides his readers with a dexterously plotted tale that ties everything together with a surprise ending. And even if you don't believe in space ships and aliens, you have to admit that this would make great courtroom drama- if it actually happened! - Harold McFarlane</p> <p style="width:auto;" align="justify">Writer Manchee has set together another great milieu of engaging, convincing characters, predicaments and blunders. The tale Manchee weaves in Cactus Island brings us another great romp with full time lawyer part time sleuth Stan Turner and his law partner Paula Waters. 5 Stars. - Molly Martin</p> <p style="width:auto;" align="justify">While this is a mystery, there is no denying the dash of science fiction adds flavor to the story. It is told in first person narrative by Stan Turner and his partner Paula, who alternate chapters, which makes it somewhat unique in character. - John Washburn</p>
