Total Surprise!

When a friend told me to read this book, I was uncertain as to why and what I would find. Boy! What a joy! I live in San Diego and from the very beginning it caught me. Just as I was getting to believe where the author was taking me... Bam... off we go into an entirely different and extremely enjoyable direction. This book is very well written and captures you from the get-go. You can feel the passion that David brings to this story. I do alot of reading... and I must say this book is among the top of the list. I did not want to put it down and go back to work!!!!

This book is a total surprise! It is not what you expect by the cover or the title... but is one that you will very much enjoy. I enjoyed it soooo much that I did not want it to end.... hope he writes the sequel to this ....PLEASE!?!?!?

read this one! you will not be disappointed...promise!

One Reader's Review

"The Thirteenth Time Zone"is an adventure book for men. The adventure leads the main character, a tough street cop working the night shift and high crime area of San Diego, to find his spiritual and feminine side of himself. Most men fight against acknowledging the spiritual and especially feminine part of their inner self. This fight leads, Owen, the main character in the book to becomes a hard fighting male that fights with his fists to dominate his surroundings. He wins the external brawls, but continues to lose the fight of the interior man. That loss drives him on an adventure to find something he knows he needs, but he is not even sure what that "something" is, which makes the adventure even more intense.

Owen is a man that travels half way around the world experiencing, a hurricane in a small sailboat, commune living with hippies that turned their backs on the material world, hard drinking truck drivers hauling goods from England to Tehran. In addition, along the way he encounters highway robbers, sickness, enlightened monks in India and hunger and squalor on the streets of cities in India, Iran and Europe. But in spite of all the hard times, Owen, is always delivered to a new level of spiritual awareness and physical care. Delivery always came in the form of a person that would show up to give him just what he needed when he needed it. It happened time and again until the final person that shows up in his life is the ultimate gift and at a time and place that seems impossible to believe."

Visual -- Wow

I finished your book last week and I again want to tell you that your book is GREAT. Your writing is state-of-art and is as strong as any writer in the "professional' category I have ever read. You have a real ability to write "visually." I cannot recall a book that I have read where the writing feels like watching a movie. Usually the "picture" fades at different times in a book while reading non-visual facts that add detail to a story. I do not have problems with dry facts to move a story, but in your book it was as if I was constantly looking and watching the action you wrote about. I am not sure how you do that, but it was truly a joy to read your writing. I hated to see the book end. I am glad to hear that there will be book two and three.

Thank you from Al Asad, Iraq

I was puzzled when I first received your book here in Iraq. There are only two former SDPD officers in my family so it was not hard to track down how you came about sending me a copy. It came as a great gift as mail is not something received often. I have just finished reading it today and could not put it down once I got started. I really look forward to reading the next two…



Thank you!!!!
