Most fiction writers reject their characters are not representative of all persons living or dead, they bear responsibility. However, Jim Gilliam's DNA in its main character, Tim Kelly depicted in his thrilling novel, Deception Point. Once enrolled in the U.S. Coast Guard under 14 for lying about his birth and education after his military service, a parallel career in the police, both Gilliam and Kelly have a lot in common. But the similaritiesStop there, as his book leads the reader into a story of a history of emotional and engaging drama events and intrigues, with immense courage by first-hand knowledge of his subject Jim Gilliam increased.
Nobody is perfect. Here's how Jim Gilliam develops his protagonist Tim Kelly, as he ambiguously between sound moral judgments and anti-social behavior, reveals a depth in the complexities of real people instead of fictional characters associated with typical stereo. It 'alsoGilliam's style of writing, with precise dialect of the military in general terms and procedures for those who have served in the armed forces and security forces of realism and credibility to the fictional history known. It is interesting to note that Jim Gilliam also toys with the timeline of his book in a sense, from a scene of torture, grabbing the attention of the reader, then brought him back into the life of Tim Kelly's statement of personal characteristics that make up the Finally, in the phraseBeginning. These techniques, together with a high degree of respect for the intelligence of the reader, resulting in numerous awards Deceptionachieving point of reading most of the community, which rightly deserves.
The turning point of the novel, when the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Point Deception by "friendly fire", was attacked off the coast of Vietnam in August 1966. This piece shows an example of terse, concise technical writing Gilliam throws in every aspect of his gripRoman:
. "Many errors occur during the war, is the nature of the beast this morning had the Deception Point was mistakenly targeted as an enemy to form steam south of the north side of the seventeenth parallel trade identified -. DMZ identified as hostile, it was the point of deception fair game for the B-57 begins the execution of the first of three rifle - apparently only a few moments after the rockets lit up the Deception Point The B-57 crashed to kill, his four guns 20 mm M39.spreading death and destruction. Built for a maximum speed of 16-17 knots, Deception Point offer lightweight steel hull and aluminum superstructure no protection for the crew. "
This event, along with the hall to say CYA military method and responsibility: "These things happen in combat" have an effect on perfusion Tim Kelly, shorts already volatile spirit leads him into an orbit of anti-social behavior. Like many Vietnam veterans have to deal with PTSD andhaunting memories, gets the reader with an increase in blood pressure from the weaving of themes like honor Gilliam writes, that illuminate the holders of high military positions. This was one of the emotions in Deception Point, I have been personally presented to the heart.
After Tim Kelly fired by the Coast Guard with less than an honorable discharge, he sought a career in drug-related prosecutions. And 'here than meets again his past that will bust Rodolfo Guzman, a powerful drug lordand a person who in his youth he became friends. This series of events played like a movie Mission Impossible, with an enormous task, courage, violence and adrenaline filled with moments of tension and terror.
Jim Gilliam has created a "must read" book for those who love action-packed military and police novels. Has a unique style that distinguishes him as a fresh voice in the variety written generally similar. Deception Point plays would be perfect as a blockbuster movieGiven the insatiable appetite of the public hero with character flaws, it goes against all the odds to achieve a socially acceptable result. In fact, I can not wait for the sequel!
