After reading the first paragraph, you may conclude that this is a book about pirates. This is not a book about pirates. Okay, there are a few pirates in the book. (Okay, there are quite a few pirates in the book.) But this is not a book that is just about pirates. It provides intimate familiarity with strong characters and a sense of sharing in their lives and adventures.

  • Alien Trenches And Other Strange Tales on March 05, 2011

    I've been to Canada a number of times--all over the Maritimes and through various parts of Québec. But I've never been west of there. Apparently, I've missed something. An interesting (dare I say, peculiar) something. Victoria seems to be a hotbed of strange phenomena and well guarded secrets. Lee Shilo presents the dilemma: "What are Victoria's biggest, best guarded secrets? Don't ask me, I won't tell." That would pique your interest. He says at twelve years of age he began exploring tunnels--the physical evidence of myths and rumors. At twelve, I would have been right there with him. I would describe Mr. Shilo's offerings as "considerations." There are no solutions offered here--just things to ponder. Interested in conspiracies, cover-ups, puzzles and irksome peccadilloes? Want to follow where you imagination leads you? Lee Shilo provides a shopping list of tales and tidbits to ponder and pursue if you would. Are rumors indicators? Like shadows cast by dissipating smoke clouds, indicating there is (or was once) a fire. True or false, unfounded rumors or shards of broken secrets, these things are fun to think about.

    Sometimes, coming up against a brick wall isn't so bad; it can seem almost magical. What if someone gave you a piece of Rune Stone? What if you found a piece? What would you do with it? What would it mean to you? What would you do about it? Are you the curious type? Young Samerson is. And he's persistent. There's something so interesting—perhaps mysterious—compelling him to seek answers to questions he has yet to develop. But can an inexperienced eighteen year old become an effective detective? He's certainly going to give it a try. In his questing, he knows he can trust his friend Doris. And certainly, he can trust himself—when his senses don't mislead him. But can he trust Mister Ming? “Seek those that have eyes but cannot see. Legs to walk but cannot be and only breathe the night.” Now there's an inscrutable character, if ever there was one. But Samerson will encounter even stranger characters, like Beetle Bop Bonaparte and Miss Spidey, before his quest has ended and all his questions are answered. Lee Shiloh has provided us with an engrossing fable—a mystery that will appeal to readers of all ages. His is a well modeled, descriptive narrative, delightfully detailed.
