Based on the evidence here, he’d probably be great at it. One wonders if Josh Lanyon wishes he had been a professor of literature himself. A great pleasure of the book is all the situationally relevant quotes of poets from Shakespeare to Eliot and e.e. The book’s title is a quote from Shakespeare’s “The Tempest,” which is fitting for Sebastian Swift, the story’s protagonist, a literature professor who becomes a target when he tries to help one of his students who is suspected of murder. When listened to all at one go, as I did yesterday on a long road trip, they may be even more suspenseful and compelling than when read chapter by chapter, which is what typically happens when one must put a printed book aside in the middle of things as the demands of daily life intrude. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?Ībsolutely. Have you listened to any of Paul Fleschner’s other performances before? How does this one compare? Besides, Lanyon writes exciting, edge-of-your seat action scenes. They are all literate (also suspenseful, romantic and fun). What other book might you compare Come Unto These Yellow Sands to and why?Īny of Josh Lanyon's other novels, print or audio. If you could sum up Come Unto These Yellow Sands in three words, what would they be? Warning: The Surgeon General has determined that Josh Lanyon's smart, sexy, sophisticated stories may prove hazardous to your heart. Max can forgive lies and deception, but a dangerous enemy may not stop until Swift is heading up his own dead poet's society. Yet his instincts - and his heart - tell him his lover is being played. Max enjoys splitting an infinitive or two with his favorite nutty professor, but he's not much for sonnets or Shakespeare. In an instant, the stable life Swift has built for himself hangs on finding the boy and convincing him to give himself up before Max figures out Swift's involvement in the case. When one of his most talented students comes to him bruised and begging for help, Swift hands over the keys to his Orson Island cabin - only to find out that the boy's father is dead and the police are suspicious.
Even his relationship with the hot, handsome Wolfe Neck Police chief, Max Prescott, is healthy. The only lines he does these days are Browning, Frost, and Cummings.
Lover of fine poetry and lousy choose-your-own-adventure novels, Professor Sebastian Swift was once the bad-boy darling of the literati.
