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)….
“……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.”
