A character-driven story with a powerful premise, Son of Saigon is thrilling, packed with twists and turns that readers won't see coming.The storytelling is stellar and the entertaining qualities of the narrative are first class -- from the cinematic writing, the tight plot,the compelling characters to the realism that permeates the plot... The author weaves stunning realism into the narrative and asks relevant existential questions like: What happens when we are unable to do what we used to do? Themes of love, adventure, friendship, and dealing with old age are beautifully explored in this narrative." - Divine Zape for Readers' Favorite
"The author steadily builds the suspense throughout the quest to find out who did what and why at that fateful pre-graduation binge, drawing all the while on the pair's irreverent and funny banter to provide a nice offset to the tension.Hank, a former CIA-operative, proves a more formidable protagonist on the battlefield and in the bedroom than his seventy years might suggest, but even he isn't spared his share of senior jokes... Son of Saigon is sure to keep mystery fans of all ages -- not just the seventy year olds -- engaged, intrigued, and amused." -San Francisco Book Review
"Robinson has written a clean and sharp novel that artfully touches on countless interesting themes, without the story ever feeling rushed or overstuffed with ideas. The dialogue is believable and funny,particularly between Hank and Norm, but the light-heartedness is perfectly balanced with suspense, mystery and serious dramatic moments. A well-rounded work of character-driven fiction, Son of Saigon will surprise and inspire in a satisfying mixture of action and drama." - Self Publishing Review
