Hairstyles amongst the indigenous people of 19th Century Fiji were something to behold, as the following exert from Fiji: A Novel  illustrates…

…A big, powerful man, Joeli’s proud bearing and intelligent eyes were clues to his royal bloodlines. Bone earrings hung from his ears and a huge, intricately-carved, whale bone club dangled from a cord around his waist, a dozen human teeth inlaid around its head testament to how many men he’d killed in battle. Most striking, however, was his massive hairstyle. Nearly two feet high and even wider across, it was dyed blue with yellow stripes through it. Earlier treatment with burnt lime juice would ensure it remained stiffened in place for a few more days at least.

Some of Joeli’s warriors wore equally flamboyant hairstyles—many dyed a bright color and some even multi-colored; several sported hairstyles of a geometric shape while the orange-dyed hair atop one proud warrior was all of six feet in circumference. Such weird and wonderful styles could be seen on men throughout Fiji and were worn as a symbol of masculinity and social standing…

 Greg Kuhn: futurist, quantum physicist, professional educator and author

Greg has this to say in his review of  The Ninth Orphan (The Orphan Trilogy, #1)….

 ★★★★★ Do You Enjoy Well-Crafted Thrillers?, August 11, 2012
This review is from: The Ninth Orphan (Paperback)

“……Morcan has written a wonderful book; a well-crafted universe of intrigue that sucks the reader in, allowing us to forget about everything else while reading. I found myself wondering about what plot turns I would encounter next and thinking about the characters during my day. When I get that involved in a book, I must recommend it to others!

“Morcan has written a compelling work, with just the right mix of science and men-in-black overlords, controlling and manipulating the lives of their “employees” for the “national good”. What would you do if you realized you were the test subject of people so powerful it seemed impossible to do anything but comply with their wishes – whether you agreed with them or not? Do such secret “factories” really exist, churning out enhanced agents destined to forever serve their government masters? It’s a scary and fascinating concept.

“With the new Bourne movie just released, do yourself a favor and pick up this page-turner. If you enjoy well-crafted thrillers, you will be glad you did.”

American futurist and author Greg Kuhn specializes in framing new paradigms for 21st Century living. In his latest book,  Why Quantum Physicists Don’t Get Fat, he unveils his cutting-edge research into revolutionary new paradigms culled directly from the amazing science of quantum physics.

Prologue

An old vagrant hummed tunelessly to himself as he warmed his bony hands over a fire he’d lit minutes earlier in a drum long since blackened by perhaps a hundred such fires. Certainly more fires than he, or any of his street cronies, could remember. He stopped humming when, across a busy thoroughfare, a gravel-voiced busker began reciting poetry.

“Stormy, husky, brawling,” the busker rumbled. “City of the big shoulders.” He was reciting verse from the works of hometown poet-made-good, Carl Sandburg. The poem was appropriately titled Chicago. “Come and show me another city with lifted head singing so proud to be alive and coarse and strong and cunning.” The busker, a long-haired Vietnam veteran whose only concession to his military past was his VSM service medal which he still wore with pride, looked directly at the old vagrant opposite.

The vagrant imagined the busker smiled at him, though he couldn’t be sure in the fading early evening light. Even so, he flashed a toothless grin in the other’s direction.

Soon, the old man was joined by half a dozen street pals. All homeless like him, they appeared like disheveled ghosts out of the shadows, attracted partly by the warmth of the fire and partly by the busker. They listened intently to the poet’s words that flowed effortlessly from the busker’s mouth. Words that painted images so vivid in their minds it was as if the men were watching a kaleidoscope of their own youth.  

“Under the smoke, dust all over his mouth, laughing with white teeth,” the busker continued. “Under the terrible burden of destiny laughing as a young man laughs.”

Several passersby paused to listen, but none bothered to drop a donation into the hat that lay at the busker’s feet. Finally, as the busker finished his recital, a business executive threw a quarter into the hat without breaking stride. Encouraged, the busker launched into another Sandberg poem.

Listening to the busker delivering further verses about his beloved Windy City, the old vagrant couldn’t help but note the irony: there wasn’t a breath of wind on this still Chicago evening.

Here’s what acclaimed author Susan M. Heim has to say about Fiji: A Novel

Susan M. Heim, author and editor of the bestselling “Chicken Soup for the Soul” series has this to say in her review of Fiji: A Novel….

 ★★★★★ Reads Like an Epic Movie May 8, 2012
 
“Fiji: A Novel” is set in the mid-1800s, and we find that Fiji is a wild place during this time period, filled with native tribes that are constantly at war and practice cannibalism, European and American traders and adventurers, missionaries, and more.
 
Against this backdrop, Susannah Drake arrives with her missionary father from England to try to spread the word of God among the natives. In Fiji, she finds that dangers abound as she is caught in the crossfire between warring tribes.
 
Meanwhile, American trader Nathan Johnson arrives to trade muskets with the Fijians, who have found them to be effective weapons. He, too, finds himself drawn into the natives’ conflicts, as well as into the strong attraction he feels for Susannah.This book reads like an epic movie as Susannah and Nathan fight their burgeoning romance amid the horrors taking place around them.
 
I admit that I had to read quickly through some passages that were extremely graphic in their description of the cruelties the natives inflicted on those around them. But they were essential in painting a very vivid picture of Fijian life during this time period. They also brought to mind many moral and cultural questions about the appropriateness of attempting to convert the natives to Christianity or providing them with gunfire. Was it truly beneficial to attempt to bring the Fijians into the “modern” world of that time?
 
“Fiji: A Novel” is an adventure that won’t quickly leave your thoughts. I finished this book a week ago, and the memory of Susannah and Nathan’s experiences in Fiji are still fresh in my mind.
 
If you’re a fan of adventure, history, even romance, you’ll want to pick up a copy of “Fiji: A Novel” and brace yourself for the ride. It’s an intense story that will have you turning the pages long into the night.

Excerpt from Chapter 6 of The Ninth Orphan (The Orphan Trilogy, #1):

….Few knew more about Yamashita’s Gold than Naylor did. His own father had served in the Philippines under General MacArthur and, at the end of World War Two, had witnessed the earliest discoveries of Japan’s massive plunder.

Naylor had also confirmed that the former president of the Philippines, Ferdinand Marcos, had obtained much of his personal fortune from later discoveries.

He knew Japan had gained enormous wealth when it invaded China and a dozen or so other Asian countries during the Second World War. The Japanese looted bullion by the truckload.

In addition to the incalculable amounts of gold, gigantic quantities of diamonds, silver and religious artifacts had also been stolen. These colossal treasure troves were shipped to the Philippines in preparation for transportation to Japan. However, as the war in the Pacific intensified, the ever-increasing presence of Allied ships made the transport of such treasure problematic for Japan. As a result, much of it was hidden in the Philippines….
