Vitalis Chronicles, White Shores

Sometimes there are things that you don't picture yourself doing in Africa (besides living in a big white ship).  Last Wednesday I attended a launch for a book written by one of my friends.  Every land rover was booked out in anticipation for this event and the crew were all clean and polished as we made our way through surprisingly not to bad Freetown traffic.  Earlier that day I had purchased the book from Amazon.com (shameless plug) and had read the first few chapters before having to leave.  I was already hooked.  Listening to the live reading and finding out that more excitement was to come had me hurrying back to the ship to read the rest.  During lunch breaks and late into the past two nights I've been reading White Shores and just finished it.  My head is full of vivid images of the characters and I can not wait to read the next two books in the trilogy.  If you know me, or have ever seen my room, you know that I love books and this is one that I'm going to read again.  Anyone that is interested can purchase the book on e-reader/kindle or paperback from Amazon.com and also Barnes and noble.com
