The purpose of this Blog is to
announce that Amazon will now display
the colorful jacket of my new novel:
“TC
Thornfyre”
“A love
so flawed, the prize so desirable
First of
all, this is NOT a novel of war. The escape of Dr. TC from the Chosin Reservoir is to introduce characters
chacters
that will reappear further in the story.
So, and gentlemen, this is a tale
of the genre of adventure, romance,
action and science.
It is
most likely that many do not recall the
heroism of the Marines in the North Korean War.
When Chief of the Army, General Douglas MacArthur did not take the
warning from China
seriously enough so that he might retreat and save his army. The US Marines charged up north to the Chosin
Reservoir, which was a very short distance from the Yalu
River which marked the southern
boundary of China . In the winter of 1951, the Chinese Army swept
south to send the US Marines to a remarkable retreat either down a curling
road, past the famous Fox Hill to the west Pacific 70 miles southwest. The
worst retreat was from the Chosin Reservoir where men fled over the ice, and
south to Hagur-ri, itself under siege.
This retreat was the greatest and most
horrendous since that of Greek general Xenophon’s flight from Persia 2000 years
ago.
Here is a
list of the interesting characters in this novel:
1.
Margaret, Dr. TC’s secretary knows where all the bones are buried in the Philadelphia Hospital where Dr. TC and his wife, Myko Nimura, are working day
and night to built a multi-energy machine which the press calls the “Holy
Grail.”
2. Dr.
Groggins is TC’s friend and a Psychiatrist as well.
3. Barabas is a Canadian volunteer who has long
red hair and is an expert with the Browning Automatic rifle.
3. The
villain, Kushi Seppku, is a Japanese sniper working for the North Koreans. Barabas captures Seppku and, through a angry
incident is woundedby Dr. TC. Propaganda Films,
reviewing this book, said, that the writing was “creative” and the villain
“marvelous.”
4. Unfortunately, TC’s Wife,
Myko Nimura, is a niece to Kushi Seppku, the latter a villain.
5. The Holly Grail is not only for industrial use but hoped by TC and
Myko to win the Nobel Prize and go to Stockholm Sweden
to receive it.
6. There are three interesting physicians: Drs Thomas and Quayle and an
African American who sets TC on the track to become a doctor.
The chase scene at the finish is equal to that of the famous movie,
“The French Connection.” Helicopters hover about, police cars race to the
Christmas Store in southern Stockholm ,
sirens screeming.
My colleagues and my creative writing teachers have state that: “The
most epilogue is the most [petoc and
beautiful prose they have ever encountered.
As an author, I had all of my novels with a poem and this squib below
is in my choice for this month. If also
may be found in my book “TC Thornfyre” which you can soon download in your
Kindle.
It is my habit as an author to place a significant poem or short
paragraph of lyrical prose immediately before the story begins. Below is the
paragraph of lyrical prose that precedes the story of “TC Thornfyre.” My
colleagues have said that this prose-poem is both beautiful and chilling.
The Epic Of THE RETREAT FROM CHOIN RESERVOIR
By Wayne Sands
Icy sculptures of death they Caught in the full stride of escape mouths
sucking the North Korean cold
Into the farthest venules of
their bodies.
“Ladies, please remember that
“Dr. TC Thornfyre” Is NOt, NOT, NOT a novel of the Koren war but rather love
story of two talented persons.”
“
“Men, let my assure you that you will find this novel will arouse in
you some personal rembrances of a flawed
love as well as the harsh realities encountered in researching a multi-energy
machine which many think is both ludicrouse and a waste of the college’s time
and money. (We’ve all been there, in one way or another, haven’t we?”
So, readers, as you are on the web now, go to Amazon and download “Dr.
TC. Thornfyre” by Zipp Morgan for a great read which you will always remember.”
The Epic of the
Chosen Reservoir Battle
of the Korean War
By Wayne Sands
Thousands were already marked for death before they arrived in this
valley tomb
With the womb-wide lake bound to the umbilical cord
Of a skinny road Whose
fragile tracery led north to death Away from the southern safety at Hagaru‑ri,ne
hundred long miles behind them.
They came isearch of The Holy Grail That, the Joint Chiefs of Staff
declared, Lay at the Yalu River Near
the soft underbelly of China Where
the Manchurian wind
Swept down like a sharpened sickle,
Reaping them into grotesque frozen sculptures
Of death, they Caught in the full stride of escapeWith mouths sucking
the North Korean cold
Into
the farthest venules of their bodies.
