Starfire Kindle Edition

by Tom Cowan (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars 27 ratings
See all formats and editions
A lazy summer day for a bored 13 year-old in 1960's New York State is about to get interesting: Two separate pairs of quirky new-comers from the Big Apple visit his small town. A young writer and his girlfriend in a flashy convertible and a pair of educators researching Psychic Phenomena. Are their arrivals coincidence? Or is some unknown force causing a convergence at The White Crow Tavern? Or is Sam Carey simply drawn to the beauty of Starfire?
Add a group of desperate convicts and local miscreants to the equation, and the drama and mysteries grow, fast-paced and dangerous as a Midget Racer.

I finally got around to reading Starfire by my longtime friend Tom Cowan. I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it and it was a really fun read. Typically I read only non-fiction but Starfire took me back to my days growing up in the Bronx and visiting upstate. Thanks Tom and look forward to the next book

4.0 out of 5 stars Starfire - An Interesting tale of a boys life in the 1960's

This novel had plenty of charactors, with subplots & mystery. Reading this book was as if I were watching a good movie, with a good visual description of the times it was set in. I hope the author continues the tale in future adventures!

The price was right and I did enjoy the story. It is not great literature. If the book had been priced at $9 or higher I would not read it.

Starfire does a great job of reliving a bygone time when people knew everyone in town and a newcomer stood out - even without the pompadour. I love the mentions of bygone heroes (who remembers Rocky Colavito?!) and the unrolling of the plot. Loved reading it. Look forward to the next book by this author.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. The characters are real and I was held in suspense for the entire book. I could not put it down. I think it is especially good for a first time novelist.
