Betrayed by the friends he trusted and woman he loved, Harry Langston roams New York's blizzard-swept streets begging for enough cash to buy a bottle of bum wine.

A failed mob hit will lead him to a broken African American prize fighter, a crazed PT boat skipper, and a sea battle against the Sinaloa drug cartel for a treasure beyond his imagination. A vigilante is rising from Mexico and heaven help those who tried to destroy him. "This is a well-developed story of a guy who deserves a better wife and friends. The book is intriguing and powerful." (SVDS) "Recommended for its fast pace, realistic dialogue, and explosive ending." (AC) "Fast-paced plot with realistic dialogue between the lead character and his African American street bud. For me, the crazed skipper of the vintage PT Boat really pulled the story together. This is a well-written story that could make a good movie or television pilot." (MS) "A believable story about a guy who gets screwed by his friends. The surprise ending in the Gulf of California makes From the Depths a good read." (LC) "The gritty scenes inside Manhattan's subway tunnels reminded me of the scary New York I left some years ago. The blizzard scene in Central Park brought back un-fond memories of slush, chilled wind gusts, and blinding snow. Lots of action, balanced with a good plot and strong characters. I liked the book's abrupt shift from the frozen East Coast to Southern California." (LM) Book 2, Vengeance is Mine, is available on Amazon. Gary Naiman has written fourteen novels. One of his books is being considered for a motion picture.

I See Water, I See Trees!: RANDOLPH by Bill Stenlake (6 Reviews)    Price verified 7 hours ago

Randolf: I see water, I see trees! Suddenly I become aware that I am sitting down. I have absolutely no recollection of where I might be. I can't remember where I was and what I was doing last. My eyes are still closed as I try to bring my mind into gear. There is a pungent smell drifting into my nostrils. It is not one I find particularly pleasant. I only struggle for a couple of seconds to place it. The recognition comes to me swiftly. It is the smell of pee. At that I open my eyes. I am on a bench in a park. I look to my left; because that is the direction the smell is originating from. Sitting next to me is a woman and she smells of pee. She is sitting maybe a foot over from me. She is looking at me with crystal clear blue eyes. Those appear to be her best asset. Her face is grubby with a mixture of ingrained dirt and exposure to the sun. Her smile is a toothy one, but I wish she wouldn't as the teeth she does have left are stained and chipped. She is much smaller than my five foot ten inches height, but she probably matches my 200 pound weight, at a guess. 'I see water and trees' her words startle me as she shoots out a stubby hand, cupped for a donation. This isn't the first time John Ford has come to, not knowing where he is. The previous time was several years ago, after he had been knocked down by a car. He woke up in hospital not knowing who he is or why he had been to Charlottesville. He still doesn't know. He has had to start his life afresh. The woman sends John on a mission, apparently to try to save a homeless hostel destined to be redeveloped. The hostel was gifted by Abraham Randolph. She guides John to other people who will help him on his quest. His journey takes him from downtown Manhattan to the middle of nowhere in New England. However there are some people who don't want John to fulfil his quest. John starts to think his past life has caught up with him. Someone seems to be fairly eager to stop him, to the extent they want to ...
