 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.”

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….

Check out this article on The Ninth Orphan

An orphan grows up to become an assassin for a highly secretive organization. When he tries to break free and live a normal life, he is hunted by his mentor and father figure, and by a female orphan he spent his childhood with. On the run, the mysterious man’s life becomes entwined with his beautiful French-African hostage and a shocking past riddled with the darkest of conspiracies is revealed.

Fast-paced, totally fresh and original, filled with deep and complex characters, The Ninth Orphan is a high-octane thriller with an edge. Merging fact with fiction, it fits the current trend toward stories about shadow organizations rumored to exist in the real world.

Tackling genetic selection, mind control, secret societies and a chase around the globe, The Ninth Orphan has intimate character portraits usually associated with psychological novels. It also has a poignant, romantic sub-plot which means it appeals equally to males and females of all ages.

Kentbridge felt bored as he half-listened to a speech by the US President being televised on a monitor set into the back of the seat in front. Such was Kentbridge’s disdain for politicians, he didn’t even bother to look at the screen.

Contrary to the media circus which portrayed politicians as all-powerful figures, Kentbridge knew from experience the vast majority of US Government officials – elected or otherwise – were puppets who only had the illusion of power. This included Presidents. These public figures all understood the game and were happy to go through the motions, carrying out orders that came from above – from the likes of the Omega Agency – so they could fulfill their own egotistical ambitions.

Although political parties often seemed poles apart, in reality they all bowed to this higher order of power. Kentbridge had long since understood Democrats and Republicans were essentially the same party with different faces and that was why, no matter how many promises each leader made, significant change rarely transpired.

Consequently, Kentbridge had never voted in his life. Certainly there were obvious differences in policies between the various leaders, and an America run by a Bush, an Obama, a Clinton or a Palin, would have distinct contrasts.

Those variables didn’t concern the secret elite rulers, however. As long as the Omega Agency and other clandestine groups ensured each administration sold out on the most lucrative issues – oil, banking, drug trafficking, arms sales – they couldn’t care less whether a political party poured a few more measly bucks into healthcare or schools.

Kentbridge switched the television off and focused his mind on Nine. He hoped the man in Paris was indeed the rogue orphan.
