Odyssey:1970 is the story of a young man's life on the road during one of the pivotal years in modern American history. The sequel to Crossroads: 1969, it picks up with the story of John Cassell, a twenty-two year old college graduate, just returned from Europe and North Africa. Miraculously freed from the Vietnam War by a high draft lottery number in December of 1969, he decides to devote the year 1970 to exploring his own country? to enjoy being young? to revel in the life of the Counterculture before the War Machine comes for him in 1971. The long, uncertain hitchhike between Albuquerque, New Mexico and Berkeley, California becomes as familiar as the way to work. The freaks, gunrunners, revolutionaries and fugitives who haunt its many miles become family. His year of exploration is shortly transformed into a deadly game of cat and mouse with a rogue Albuquerque cop, Robert Dugan, a man maimed in mind, body and spirit by his Vietnam War service. Based in part upon a true story.

5,0 su 5 stelle A Drifter Turned District Attorney Writes The Great American Novel
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 17 febbraio 2008

This is nothing short of a landmark novel. The precision of research into this segment of history melded into the deeply significant personal experiences of an author seasoned in his art feature a finesse worthy of the literary classics. I've never read a book, fiction or non, which accomplished more in clarifying alternate angles in play during a heated, hassled period of recent times. The voice of this author on this subject is pure, clear, and charismatic.

As a slight sample of evidence of the verity of this praise, read an excerpt of the opening of chapter one of ODYESSY: 1970:

>> For a town of just over thirty-five thousand people, one telephone exchange and with tumbleweeds frequently blowing across its main north-south thoroughfare, Santa Fe, New Mexico boasted some pretty impressive distinctions. For one thing, at six thousand five-hundred feet and more above sea level, it was the highest altitude state capital in the country. To get there from Albuquerque, itself a mile above sea level, one had to limb a steep mountainside of almost a thousand feet before arriving at he plateau on which the town was located. From there, it angled upward even more as one approached the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.... I guess it was fitting that I should be spending the second full day of 1970 in such a place. I was boasting of some pretty impressive distinctions these days as well. <<

As added evidence that this novel is a hallmark of classic literature, note some of the chapter titles in the Table of Contents, which itself reads like a list of seasons of literary excellence:

1. Aquarian Passages
2. New Myths And Old Realities
3. The Wisest Eighteen Year Old In The World
4. More Streets And Roads
5. The Worm Turns
6. Menace And Movement
7. The Long March Back
8. Armageddon
9. Inside The Kaleidoscope
10. By The Dark Of The Moon
11. The Green Leaves Of Summer
12. The Attack Of The Badge People
*******
21 chapters conclude brilliantly with an Epilogue, Acknowledgments, Glossary Of 1970 Slang, Police Radio Ten Code, and a Bibliography on page 683 of this thick trade paperback worth lifetimes beyond its price (see also the Kindle version:  Odyssey: 1970 (N/A) ).

Kent State and Cambodia are dramatized and unearthed as the facets of politics and youth unbounded clash in an X-Ray exposure of cultural change in catalytic process.

In a discussion forum titled "Toasting John Cassell's HELL'S QUEST: 1972, An Ongoing Commentary," located in the Amazon Shorts main category, you'll find a quote (posted Feb 2, 2008 by author John W. Cassell of a passage in this novel) which you won't want to miss, including the commentary around that excerpt. That quote focuses a philosophical pivotal point upon which Cassell's collection of novels build a maturity of art and life which he has exquisitely executed and fully lived, with ODYESSEY: 1970 being a prime literary jewel in the crown of his books.

Don't miss reading the best examples of classic literature, at the moment in time of the author's pausing on a precipice of acknowledgment and accolade.

A link to the novel in the forum title noted above,  Hell's Quest: 1971

This book took a lifetime to read but was well worth the effort. It provides historical perspective and weaves a story about youth, mistakes, revenge and the massive impact political decisions made on the lives of all young people in the 70's. Enjoyable and entertaining.

Due to a glitch in my first download of Odyssey 1970, I wasn't able to complete the book. I then went on to read a bunch of other stuff and came back to this one. I just started over again, and actually, it made a lot more sense to me the second time around.

It was very nostalgic reading, as we have been to some of the same places and may have even crossed paths. My adventure with my good friend Karen from Ohio to San Francisco took place in a VW bug. We have so many wonderful memories and so many instances where we thanked God we were still alive. Many times when we asked ourselves "What were we thinking????"

John captures the timbre of the country at that time with the war, Kent State, Chicago etc. My university closed down early that year as well, which prompted me to take our memorable trip (along with a few other things).

Just like Crossroads, this will be part of my permanent library. I know I will want to read it again. The lessons are there, offered in a most vulnerable and endearing way.

As a "child" of this era I found this book to be quite factual regarding the events, troubles, and life as a "runaway". John Cassell truly touched on the nerve that coursed through each of us who traveled the "high road" of that era.
