Legacy Of The General - Part 2 - A Reluctant White Knight novel - Volume 4 Reviewed by: Editorial Board, The Columbia Review of Books and Films

"Legacy of the General," the fourth installment in T.W. Anderson's "A Reluctant White Knight" series, pulls the hero, Tom Rowter, and his wife, Sunny, into a complicated conflict between powerful forces and launches them on a hazardous mission to fulfill the last wish of an admired friend (i.e., the General).

Some time ago, when reviewing the first volume in T.W. Anderson's "A Reluctant White Knight" series, we had this to say: "It combines the best ingredients of the "Texas Rangers" genre fiction, but with highly contemporary suspense, which is further enriched with themes of green energy, aviation and technology. The lead character, Tom Rowter, is a solid anti-hero, a toned-down version of Clint Eastwood at his best. He tells the story in the first person, matter of fact, no hype or showoff (well, maybe a reserved touch of bravado…). He's cool, aggressive (or even deadly, when necessary), and delivers it all with humor. He clearly has a big heart, which carries a good chunk of pain and guilt, and he can handle a gun. In other words, he's a good character, someone you would definitely want to spend more time with, literarily speaking."

With the fourth novel in the series, Mr. Anderson maintains the remarkable qualities of his creation, while fleshing out the main characters, expanding the family circle, and revealing new aspects of this evolving saga.

"Legacy of the General" picks up a short time after the events of "Seascape's Aground!" (Vol. 3). The story begins with a few scenes that give the reader-even a new reader-a sure footing in what's happening in the lives of Tom and Sunny. Meanwhile, a mysterious outfit gears up to take violent action in order to pilfer possession of 'an item," which happened to be on its way to Tom posthaste, courtesy of his now-deceased friend. Soon, the suspense rises and bad things start to happen.

Mixing in the successful ingredients that made the previous volumes so enjoyable, the author adds in legal wrangling, government conspiracies, IRS and CIA shenanigans, a former U.S. president, and a good measure of sprightly romance and lively action. As before, Tom Rowter, with the conflicted yet incredibly gutsy Sunny, is determined to do the right thing, come hell or high water-or such other bad things as one might expect, either on the ground or in the air.

In summary, "Legacy of the General" fulfills the promise of the series, delivering an authentic setting and great action with a lively cast of flesh-and-blood characters, engaged in real-world relationships and embroiled in a risky crisis that gets resolved through the hero's courage, integrity, and thrilling exploits. The ending, when it comes, is surprising and satisfying. Highly recommended!

Autorenporträt

Terrance W Anderson, or "T.W." as he prefers to be called, has over five decades of senior business management experience. When he can get away both he and his wife love to travel or idle around and fish the area's surrounding lakes in their boat. T.W. has also been an avid pilot since youth and holds a number of advanced pilot ratings.

T.W.'s writing was born out of a frustration with the lack, at the time, of Christian authors writing modern, relatable suspense and romance novels. It seemed like all the best selling books had language in them that not only offended him, but he was embarrassed that the person beside him glancing over his shoulder might also be offended by it.

On one long business trip, while relaxing beside the inlet at Marina Del Rey he dug out his laptop and started typing out notes about his past aviation and life experiences. That led him to start adding a measure of "What if" to the writings. Before long he had a story line in mind and Tom Rowter came alive on the pages of the "A Reluctant White Knight" novel series. Being of retirement age himself, the author makes his books hero of a similar age thusly giving us an adventure and romance from a mature individual, and then couple's point of view. Many readers, tired of reading about the limitless energy of some young stud and his vixen, will be able to relate to the aches, pains and limitations of this series' hero and heroine having a few years on them, yet being truly in love.

T.W. tries to show his characters as true to real life as possible. His main characters may be courageous but they aren't super heroes. They have their weaknesses and failures like we all do and they reflect his personal faith and Christian beliefs. The action and problems that come to life in the pages are right out of everyday events. And the romances are as complicated as life truly plays out. In story development he uses not only his own past experiences but the counsel of friends he's developed in other fields of aviation, international business and real estate, journalism as well as various local, state and federal law enforcement organizations.
