- Latest Review: "The 11.05 Murders" by Brian O'Hare
This book is interesting since it captures the real life situations affecting the security of the world today. It educates on how to deal with security threats, appreciate family and friends, be patriotic and dedicated to what one does. Its a 4 out of 4 stars for me.

Festus wrote:Adoption of titles or story lines from the works of legendary artists is a practice that has survived literary traditions, time and space. David Wallace's Trojan, modeled after Homer's Illiad is a case study. Chinua Achebe in his debut seems to have followed suit with Things Fall Apart, fashioned along the path of "The Second Coming", the work of the famous English Romantic poet, John Keats. In either way, both writers appear passionate about the fate, dream and future of their societies. That the protagonist does not display segregation or class dichotomy is Wallace's way of enlightening his audience on the strength of America. There is a lot humanity can learn from this view point in bid to advancing our collective aspiration.
