‘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.

             We identify with the war-orphaned child left a lifelong emotional cripple; with the ardent young feminist who in later life is driven by a failing marriage into an affair; with the union activist who sacrifices his life for his belief in moderation; with the ruthless drug baron who assumes a new identity to become the corrupt head of a vast chemical and coffee conglomerate, and who resorts to untested genetic modification and murder in his quest for power and wealth.

            Whatever your reason for buying ‘The Chaos Vortex’, you will not be disappointed. Nor will you be able to put it down as the plot proceeds at breakneck speed to its breath-taking climax.

            Not to be missed!    A great read!
