It's nippy here in New York City and a cold front is due in tonight with a predicted 1" - 3" of snow. I say predicted, because it can be nothing or 20".
The Sunbird is by Wilbur Smith who is a rather prolific South African writer. I'd rather not tell you too much, but have you discover the story on your own. It is a bit dated (like me), but it still is a fascinating and enjoyable read.
If you want to try another oldie, but goodie - "The Hoods" by Harry Grey. It starts c. World War I and it traces the rise of organized crime. It's fiction, but the story is probably a bit autobiographical as the writer was a hood during that era. It was made into an almost great movie by Sergio Leone called, "Once Upon a Time in America."
If you'd like, you can check my books at http://www.BeachsidePDBooks.com. I am rarely here as I am writing the third book in the series and editing for several ESL writers.
P.S. You can afford to Indie publish. Contact me at misc11236@yahoo.com and I'll point you in the right direction, so you don't make the same mistakes I made with my first book. BTW, I am not a publisher - I am passing forward help as others helped me on LinkedIn Books and Writers.
