SARDINIA,The Brotherhood of Orso:
It is always interesting to observe people’s behaviour, to watch how they react to circumstance, and why? It can be even more intriguing when events unfold in a small, close-knit community.
I have always had a love affair with Italy, its folk, its culture and its history, a country where old traditions continue and reminders of ancient civilizations abound. This is very much the case in Sardinia where superstition and old beliefs still persist, where criminal organizations could easily wield great influence.
So, when I first read about the mysterious ’Nuraghe’, prehistoric, cone-shaped structures whose purpose is not yet fully explained, I tried to imagine the effect the discovery of an object of great value would have on the inhabitants of a small village.
Anticipation of wealth, greed, envy, revenge and fear are all great motivators. In ‘Sardinia, the Brotherhood of Orso’, I have sought to explore how each character might cope with what Fate deals out. Hunger, poverty, infidelity, expediency, lust, abduction, murder, love? I try to utilize all those emotions to weave a story which, while examining these human foibles, involves and captures the reader, which entertains and satisfies.

BOOK REVIEW
Published in the Southern Highlands News, Wednesday 30th November, 2011.
‘The Chaos Vortex’ by local author Rob Ennever is a remarkable book. Remarkable in that it can be read and enjoyed at two levels. For those of you who want a gripping, page-turning holiday or travel read with a compelling story-line, this is for you!
From its dramatic opening in riot-torn London the reader is transported back in time to become totally involved with a cast of intriguing characters drawn from vastly different backgrounds.
As their sometimes tragic and often brutal stories develop and circumstances shape destinies, inevitably paths cross and lives collide with disastrous consequences.
And for those who like something thought-provoking, this exciting novel revolves around many of the controversial issues confronting us today. Unbridled greed, media manipulation, drug addiction, social breakdown, civil unrest and mindless violence, all portrayed against the background of a moving love story.
