Review of LOBO
In "LOBO," John H. Manhold has finely honed the narrative skills demonstrated in his award-winning "EL Tigre" to create an even more compelling novel of pre- & post-Civil War America. The book is subtitled "The Strange Life of William Jameson": it is a wonderfully rich and vibrant life of a charismatic hero who faces adversity with brave adaptation instead of despair. Jameson's journeys bring the reader along from childhood pioneer days during Oregon's boom thru Cheyenne captivity, London at the start of the Industrial Revolution and into the beautifully complex mystique of New Orleans. Manhold peels back the layers of New Orleans society to reveal her hidden secrets and fascinating past. The depth and exquisite detail of historical and political background research, as well as the author's expert knowledge of the era's weaponry, meld perfectly into the story development. John H. Manhold further enhances "LOBO" by pairing the title character with a singular soulmate of equal strength and determination. Fans of "EL Tigre" will be rewarded by a tantalizing surprise prospect at the end of "LOBO"..."LOBO" will grab the imagination of men, women and young adults from beginning to end and leave you waiting for his next book!

 The Elymais Coin John's award-winning mystery/suspense novel is titled The Elymais Coin. The story follows the search for a 3000-year-old coin through a series of murders, thefts, and even a military engagement with elements of Al-Qaida. The quest moves through France, Andora, Spain, Morocco and Mexico and involves a shadowy middle easterner, a beautiful Russian woman, a rabidly anti-Muslim bishop's acolyte, members of the Maffia, the CIA, and finally the U. S. Attorney-General, because of the coin's suspected use in a subversive plot. It is an entertaining fictional tale that also provides insight to the confusing Muslim situation the United States faces in its war in the middle east.

EL Tigre was John's first novel. It is the multiple-award-winning saga of a Prussian aristocrat in the post- Napoleonic Era that follows Johann Heinrich von Manfred from his entrance at 10 years of age to the Military Academy, through his ensuing travels and adventures in France, the Pyrenees, Spain, Florida, Georgia, Texas, and Old California. He saves the leader of a gypsy band, fights for Carlos, the Pretender to the Spanish Throne, helps Houston free Texas, saves the life of a Spanish Don, marries the daughter, participates in the Mexican War and discovers gold in the turbulent days of the '49 gold rush to establish the second bank in San Francisco.
