The Richard Jackson Saga Book 11: Interesting Times
by Ed & Carol Nelson
Language: English
ISBN: 978-1953395-20-7
Categories: Fiction » Coming of Age
Content Rating: All Ages
Rick has two golf tournaments to win on his way to an grand slam. He has to do this while making a movie, recovering from a broken heart, helping seat an Empress in China and keep peace between North and South Vietnam. These are interesting times indeed. With humor, we follow a young man's coming of age in the late 1950s. Starting in the summer before his freshman year this series follows the young man through his high school life and beyond. He finds that fame and fortune cannot protect him from everything. He learns that being sent down from Oxford is not the end of the world. This tongue in cheek saga is all true, give or take a lie or two.

Another great addition to the saga

I always enjoy new additions to the Richard Jackson saga and this one did not disappoint.
My suggestion is to start with book one and have a great time keeping up with Rick and his adventures.
The only downside is having to wait for the next book to come out.

Not reading this series is just being mean to yourself

I haven't been able to write many reviews without turning them into spoilers. I hate doing that or seeing it done, so -- as someone who has been reading this series since its first public appearance -- it is, quite simply, addictive. The creativity, the many "easter egg" type references (that will have all but the most incurious digging deep and wide into 50s and 60s cultural history), the meshing of alternate history with real people, events and situations, and the author's creation of so many compelling characters will make you wish it all had really happened just this way. My only disappointment with this outing is that the author reneged on the water trough. Unless you've read your way here from Book 1, you aren't meant to understand that. It's an insider joke.
