More About This Book

Overview

Readers who enjoy hard-bitten, wisecracking characters will surely fall in love with Jock Stewart, the main character in the new Malcolm Campbell novel, Jock Stewart and the Missing Sea of Fire. The story of the book revolves around the disappearance of the race horse, Sea of Fire, but it features a wagon load of human "horsing around" by the many colorful characters Campbell created, including Coral Snake Smith, Parker House, a preacher named Cotton Mouth and the Krispy Kreme eating police chief Kruller,.

While reading the story and gathering the clues, that frequently came to light as Stewart dialogued with his own intuition, readers may find themselves having great fun picking up the puns, word plays and hilarious cloaked references to cultural and historical items. Jock Stewart is an old time newspaperman, whose "blunt force sarcasm" keeps him in hot water with his bosses, co-workers and the police. But if not for his pressing the issue, the mystery would definitely not have been resolved.

Stewart, Malcolm Campbell's self-acknowledged alter ego, is also the author's vehicle to decry the effects of the digital age on the craft of writing and the elegance of language.

    A Man of Many Faces

    Jock Stewart has a quick answer to everything. He is sharp, unafraid to express himself, and loves to make people squirm in their chairs while he digs around for the "truth". He has the answer to everything except love. As much as Stewart portrays an outward appearance of a sarcastic journalist who has his life under control, there are many signs that he is afraid to uncover the real truth about himself. Campbell brings his readers to a place where it is hard to distinguish between "reality" and our own versions of it.

    For those that like authors like Vonnegut or Miller, "Jock Stewart and the Missing Sea of Fire" is a must-read. The book contains a lot of dark humour, moments of sexual tension, and characters that go back and forth between light and dark. Campbell's play on words and original plot is sure to keep any reader on his or her toes.
