The
Admiral of Bolivia
By
Chief John J. Mandeville
Fun and fantastic with many twists and turns. The Admiral is
hear and he is going to take you from NYC into the heart of Bolivia where you
will visit one of the worlds most amazing Natural Wonders, Lake Titicaca. But
wait there is much in John J. Mandeville’s epic story.
In this exciting tale the reader will get to meet main
character Mike, the Rooter who is taken to Bolivia by his dashing wife, Mary. Then
Mike’s five other dynamic firehouse friends enter the picture to make this
fictional story come alive with adventure, and thrills that’s nonstop till the
end.
Throughout the story the author unveils a wide portfolio of
different plots and schemes that mixes well with both the current and past
political world of Bolivian politics.
John J. Mandeville does an exceptional job of mixing a fun
filled storyline with a tense subject matter that rings home for many
Bolivian’s. He does this with carefully plotted humor and pacts it with action
filled turns the likes of seen only on “Butch
Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,” albeit with a Bronx type twist.
Having personally traveled, lived and am married to a
Bolivian native I found myself going back in time to some of the best moments
of my life. I can vouch that this story is truly accurate to the settings of La
Paz, and Bolivia, which is a definite necessity when writing about another
county and its culture.
The very heart of the story and how it is written is well
done. It flows perfectly with ease allowing the reader to engage effortlessly into
the plot from the very beginning.
Unexpectedly I found myself reading about submarines, secret
agents, car chases, gunfights and even a strange kind of romance that the Pope
himself has to be mentioned. Onward and forward the pages turned during the wee
hours of the morning. I read the The Admiral of Bolivia in less then 2 days, it
was a great read that I would rate up with 4 stars and would encourage everyone
to check out.
