Dreadnaught's Curse By: Howard Hoyt Hilton (247 pages) Reviewer: Bernard R. Ditter Overall Rating: Four Stars--Highly recommended. An excellent book. The author has done his research well enabling him to both tell the story about a little known precursor to WWII and to flesh out the details for the fictional account of our main character's finding a fortune and then figuring out how to exploit that finding. To begin, the description of the build up of the German navy by the introduction of the pocket battleship and the collaborative efforts of certain German officers to distance themselves from the Nazi Party are most interesting. The efforts of one grandson to pursue the mystery presented to him after the death of his estranged father takes one on a short excursion into the realm of deep sea diving, an introduction to new technology in that field and the intricacies of island politics. On a parallel course another grandson is on a similar mission to recover the fortune for himself and will go to any length to succeed. The story, which unfolds during a sea voyage on a luxury cruise ship, introduces us to a plethora of characters. One, a retired journalist who is unable to quit being one, leads us through the story to its tumultuous climax as a dozen characters come together with certain predictability. Some survive and some do not. Availability: Order directly from PublishAmerica: http://www.PublishAmerica.com Phone: 1-877-333-7422 Fax: 1-301-631-9073
