REVIEWS

Filled with vigorous, well developed characters, vibrant dialogue and as much hair raising action as the reader can handle; TROUBLE IN TRINIDAD is a gripping novel readers will find hard to put down...Molly Martin Reviews

....It's terrorist suspense at its  best!  Manchee is a master at setting a mood, laying the atmosphere, and pulling you into the lives of these truly believable and sometimes quirky characters. TROUBLE IN TRINIDAD combines politics at its worst and a tender love story between Kevin and Deviane Shah, the daughter of the Prime Minister. William Manchee has written another 5-star book and I anxiously await the next. To me, he stands out as one of the finest writers of our time. Pam Stone, Myshelf.com

Mr. Manchee is a very talented author. He has a great ability in expression of true emotions and understanding the depth of how certain circumstances effect our lives and the future. This is a thrilling read of decisions, love and as the title indicates...betrayal. It is the kind of book I would expect to see on a movie or television screen. This author also has the ability to make fictional books that can be so well related to everyday experiences making his stories very believable. Great author and work!  Susie Harrison, Authors Den

An American in Trinidad who witnesses an assassination attempt on Trinidad-Tobago’s Prime Minister becomes critical to the survival of the government, and the target of the opposition's assassin.

A high school student, Kevin Wells, while serving on an ROTC color guard is confronted with the eminent assassination of a foreign diplomat. In an attempt to save the life of Trinidad-Tobago’s Prime Minister, Ahmad Shah, Kevin is shot and nearly dies. By the time Kevin regains consciousness 10 days later, he has become a national hero and his life has changed forever.

Before he leaves the hospital, Kiran Shah, the Prime Minister’s daughter comes to visit to thank him for saving her father’s life. Kevin, who has been searching for his soul mate, is overwhelmed by Kiran’s beauty and thinks she might be the one. Unfortunately when she returns to Trinidad-Tobago, Kevin fears he will never see her again.

Much to his shock and delight, Kevin is summoned to Trinidad-Tobago by the Prime Minister to testify against his alleged assassin. Kevin is delighted since this will allow him to see Kiran again. What Kevin doesn’t know is that the Prime Minister’s enemies plan to kill him.

LETTER FROM A READER

Dear Mr. Manchee

I have just finished reading your book, Trouble In Trinidad. It was very interesting to me. Once I got started I could not put it down. Everything seemed so real and therefore kept my interest as I read.

In reading the book, I could not keep from wondering just how you became so knowledgeable about Trinidad. The towns, beaches, bays, and forest were so interesting. Perhaps you were stationed in Trinidad at some time. It would be to my interest to know your knowledge of the area.

I was stationed in Trinidad many years ago, and therefore I recognized the name and places that you mentioned in the book. I went to parties at the Governor's Palace, swam on the beaches, and visited the Botanical Gardens.

I just wanted you to know that I enjoyed the book. I have signed your register.

Yours Truly,

Forrest W. Tippen, Sr.

Response:

Dear Mr. Tippen. Thanks for your letter. I went to Trinidad with my son who was playing in a golf tournament. Fortunately, my cab driver was active in politics and gave me a crash course on the government and took me to a political rally. I found the country so interesting I had to use it as the setting for a novel. Unfortunately, I could only spend three days there, so each day I bought the Daily Express, the Trinidad newspaper, and read it cover to cover including even the classified ads. You'd be surprised how much information is in a daily newspaper if you really study it. Since it was a novel, whatever I didn't know I simply made up. It was a fun book to write. Glad you enjoyed it. William Manchee
