Holy Cow!

A reviewer, a lover of free flight

What a wonderful job Jebb did on this book. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The plot was fast-moving, the metaphors were original and descriptive. The message was powerful. So mant twists and wild events so many details. To escape both the fury of the flood and the Indian spice fire? Holy cow what a story. I had Indian food tonight and laughed out loud all over again for Owen the protagonist, but compassionately. All there is is love, eh. (I'm Canadian) This is a fine, fun read. I can't wait to see what's next.

On The Road' Gone Global

Pennaime (China) David Jebb inherits the mantle from Kerouac, Steinbeck, Wolfe and Moon in a story that is both riveting action and profound meditation. The journeys of Drew Owen geographically cover more terrain than Moon's 'Blue Highways' and thematically more terrain than 'On the Road'. A detailed comparison balances the perspectives of Kerouac's Dean Moriarity. The conflicts in Owen's personal life are analogous to the issues facing the world. His inward journey is analogous to his outward journey. His Odyssey covers 3 continents and 13 time zones. Having lost himself in a myopic obsession with law and order, Owen finds himself, and literally wraps his arms around the world. Through a forthright and personal style we witness a series of events and encounters which round out the corners of the 'ultra- square' Officer Drew Owen. This remarkable transition is articulately depicted with brutal sincerity. The paradigm shift of the cultural revolution of the 60's 70's is discovered with the keen perception of a Special Ops police officer. Drew is a kind of 'Everyman' - an anti-antihero. In an era of drop-outs and opt-outs, Dave Jebb gives new meaning to the term " Cop"-out. I read this book in one sitting, unable to put it down.

Can't Put it Down

J.D. Livingston "Raven" (Seattle, WA) I've only just begun reading The Thirteenth Time Zone, by David Jebb, but can hardly set it down. The story moves well and is an easy read - a real page turner. I can't wait to read what happens next, but so far it seems like one of those reads that we all can connect with on a personal level - I believe we all question our own purposes on this planet and I admire Mr. Jebb's honesty and humanness. Well Done!

A Rolicking Good Read

Connie J. Jetton "Ben" (San Diego) This book is the ultimate of get away from being a street cop in the big city. His development of the characters on the road and the universal appeal of a get away road trip that all of us have dreamed about is more than appealing. This is on a par with some of the great road trip stories ...Thelma and Louise, Travels with Charlie and My Wicked Wicked Ways.

Not What You'd Expect

pin (Portland, OR) I read Jebb's book in a couple of days and I'm a pretty casual reader usually. It starts out as a pretty interesting cop story with some laugh-out-loud insights and lots of action, but as Jebb's protagonist Owen decides to change his life, the story and the character spirals and twists in a number of different and unexpected directions in what turns out to be ultimately an engrossing spritual quest that takes him around the world walking and hitchiking with almost no material possesions or resources. Along the way he meets and travels with everyone from roadhouse drunks to religious, mystic types of various faiths. I've found myself thinking a lot about this book and the questions it raises about life and values in the western world since I finished it. It is a very engaging, thought provoking read and highly recommeded unless you are just looking for another cop thriller which it isn't.

13 OKs

Bruce Robertson "Bruce" (Oklahoma City, OK) - I read the book in a day and a half... could not put it down. An amazing adventure that puts you right there with Owen as he experiences a myriad of unusual and exciting situations in far flung parts of the world with only his wits to rely on. I highly recommend this book and look forward to the next one.

A real page turner

B Kelso "Bill" (Springfield, IL) - A fascinating read. Once I started reading the book, I could not put it down. No offense, but I couldn't believe it was written by a former police officer. I met David while learning to paraglide in San Diego on a recent trip. He was kind enough to authograph a copy for my friend. The book really makes you think about spirituality and your purpose on earth.

Hard to believe this is Jebb's debut Novel

Brian C The way Jebb transitions from gang battle-ground to bluewater escapades hints at his personal experiences. His writing combines just the right balance of character introspection with engaging events to keep the pages turning. The antagonist, "Blue", offers a behind the scenes look at the internal and external struggles in the complex life of a battle hardened cop. Just when I found myself completely engrossed with Blue's next event the story switches gears. So far it is a great read!
