Book Description

This is a story of unrequited love in an isolated fishing village. The village has been devastated by a fishing tragedy and Paul, whose parents died in a fire and who is now living with his uncle, disapproves of someone raking up the painful past. There are rumours that it was not an accident, and no one seems to want to talk, especially not to reporter Mike Tyler. However, lives become strained to breaking point and questions remained unanswered. And to make matters worse, storms arrive on the west wind, causing further untold damage to a way of life already in disarray-if not divided forever. But how do the long-suffering locals cope, and how does Paul come to terms with the threatened departure of Corina, the fisherman's daughter? The narrative is strong, with well-developed characters and a thrilling denouement.

Book Description

Sofia's family owns a spacious apartment by the Caribbean coast near Rio Chico, Venezuela, and want for nothing. Her parents' jobs ensure their financial stability, and Sofia is used to living a certain life of luxury. Spoiled and a bit selfish, Sofia nevertheless loves her family and her friends.

But for Mariu, the daughter of a local fisherman, life is not glamorous. Growing up in their small house, Mariu lost her mother at birth and took over many adult responsibilities at a young age. She is happy and content with her life for the moment and looks forward to the time spent with her father, Pablo.

Sofia and Mariu meet on the beach one day and become instant friends. But their friendship also reflects the deep division in Venezuela's society-poor versus rich. When Sofia and Mariu's parents become involved with the political agenda of leftist president Hugo Chávez, the two girls are suddenly drawn into the struggle of the Bolivarian Revolution. From Chávez's capture and removal from the Palacio de Miraflores in Caracas to behind the scenes of the coup d'etat, The Daughters of the Fisherman of Rio Chico captures the human side of the Bolivarian Revolution through the lives of two teenage girls.

Who stole the president??.......2007-02-06

I am fascinated by the way the author managed to mix fiction and real events. The capture of President Chávez of Venezuela has always been a mystery to me. The official version of the US plotting against him together with the Opposition has been lacking some logic and thus was incomplete without mentioning the various business interests of the generals supporting Chavez. In this book, the most probable and by this even more enticing story about 11th April 2002 is told along with a heartbreaking saga of family tragedy, love and hatred. The most wonderful moment can be felt when real love beyond the average is described. Really a great book!

Never had such an interesting read about politics before..........2007-02-02

What an enlightening read about the darkest hours of Hugo Chavez' presidency. Especially, the fact that neither the official version nor the fairy tales told by the gangsters supported by Washington is presented as the ultimate truth about those strange events of April, 2002, but rather a neutral and by this much more comprehensive analysis. The novel contains highly interesting observations which the author probably has acquired from first hand information. On the other hand, it is warming and making it understandable what struggle the Venezuelan society goes through by showing the day to day life of the protagonists. To show the life of both, rich and poor but with leaving space for the reader to come to his/her own conclusions makes this novel so special. Never have I enjoyed reading about politics as I did in this book.

Looked over the shoulder of Chavez.......2007-02-02

If one really wants to understand what the Bolivarian Revolution of President Chavez in Venezuela is about, one has to read this book. It provides for a great deal of background information in a non-teacherous style. The characters all seem to be drawn from life, even Hugo Chavez himself, who in the media of the "Western free democracies" always appears to be a bit crazy. But when reading this book, one understands why he is so committed to a new Socialism while Europe, the US, Japan and even China are marching into the opposite direction. I strongly recommend this novel to anyone who wants to look behind the scenes and also enjoys a good read.

Book Description

"Exiles Among the Stars": Long after all humans flee war-ravaged, poisoned Earth to live elsewhere in the galaxy, patrol ship cadets Nadia McLean, Alan Robie, and Anders Valeria complete their last assignment together. When Nadia chooses Anders to be her husband, now that their military hitch is over and sheÂ's free to respond to his courtship, Alan reacts by launching a quest for vengeance that will last for the rest of all three comradesÂ' lives.

"The Mad FishermanÂ's Daughter": Christabel, daughter of Janek the fisherman and Eleen the magistrate, canÂ't stop the mysterious aliens called Ast from annexing her home colonyÂ—not even by using her power as a Sector High Court justice. So, like it or not, duty calls her back to the last place in the universe she wants to see again.

What Chris doesnÂ't know is that her aging fatherÂ's increasingly troublesome visions are actually nightmarish memories from his time as a prisoner aboard an Ast starship. Now their planetÂ's population will live or die, depending on how quickly Chris can unlock those memoriesÂ' meaningÂ—and on how successfully she can outwit a species that stands to lose everything, if humans and Ast make peace.

Exiting and Moving.......2003-02-28

Osiers' novellas are well-written and full of character driven adventure. Although I liked the delicate interplay between the characters in "Exiles," I really enjoyed the haunting "Mad Fisherman's Daugher." What I really enjoyed, and thought very moving, was the visions that torture Christabel's father.
This served as a very important and cleverly written plot device, as well as a catalyst for the human element that Osier is best at. In fact, her character building and world building style reminds me of the old space operas, the stuff that made sci-fi great. I also felt reminded of a great operatic writer: Lois McMaster Bujold.
Well worth investing your time.
