Bøker av Robert Wilson

Fox News is Robert's TV news channel; Rush Limbaugh is his radio station news. Those are the only two stations that tell the truth. Robert's short stories give him something to do. After writing two books, Madam President and Madam President 2, he decided to write some short stories. This is one of three books. Three books are complete, and he is still working on the fourth book. He hopes to put twenty-one stories in that book also. Living alone gets boring and lonely. He writes to kill the boredom. Some stories will make you laugh; others will have you crying. Robert is on his third keyboard. The first two are soaked in tears and shorted out. Happy tears and some from sad stories. Humor is the best medicine. He tries to get as much as he can in each story.

I love watching Fox News, NCIS, Rush Limbaugh, and cops. I receive lots of junk mail. I picked this title because we need a good woman for president, not Hillary Clinton or Elizabeth Warren. I thought it would be nice to have a Madam President for the people, not against the people, with a strong mind, is intelligent, and has a great sense of humor as displayed in the book. Denise James fits all categories. She knows when to be strong, willing to take chances; she is sensitive, knows when to back off, and accepts criticism of her decisions. It takes a special person to do what she has accomplished as president. After delivering four babies and maintaining the position of president of the United States, that takes courage beyond the normal person. A woman may not ever make president. If she does, she has to be like Denise James, or she is not worth a damn. As you have read, I have trouble writing English. Denise speaks several foreign languages, plus English.

A stylish, tough and exciting thriller set in West Africa, the fourth in Robert Wilson's critically acclaimed Bruce Medway series.Bruce Medway, fixer for the great unfixed, does not see the disappearance of schoolgirls off the rain-shattered streets of Cotonou, Benin, as any of his business. That is the domain of his ex-partner, police detective Bagado, and his corrupt boss Commandant Bondougou. Bruce has the more pressing matter of a visit from two sweet-natured mafiosi, Carlo and his 'enforcer' Gio, employees of the Lagos-based capo, Roberto Franconelli. They want him to find Jean-Luc Marnier, a French businessman, who is definitely in for more than a wrist-slapping.In a night of brutal terror with Marnier, Bruce finds himself with a choice to make, followed by a life-saving lie that has to be told. Both choice and lie will rumble over the rest of his days like the interminable rainy season.Then an eighth and very important schoolgirl goes missing and Bruce must descend into a deeper darkness of police corruption, mafia revenge, sexual depravity, illegally mined gold, and the lonely, privileged but psychotic existence of the Nigerian heiress, Madame Sokode.To save himself, Bruce has to conceive a plan. A scam that will excite the natural greed that prevails along this coast and when executed, out on the flat, black waters of the huge lagoon system, will inevitably result in death and destruction. But then innocence has always been the burden of dark experience.

Warned off by his client, Jack Obuasi, his energies are redirected into the search for missing expat Steven Kershaw. Kershaw, though, is a man of mystery: trader, artist, womanizer... and sado-masochist.Against background rumblings of political disturbance, in the face of official corruption, egged on by an enigmatic policeman, Medway pursues his elusive quarry across West Africa.

An evocative and atmospheric thriller set along the part of the African coast they used to call the White Man's Grave, The Big Killing is the second novel to feature Bruce MedwayBruce Medway, go-between and fixer for traders in steamy West Africa, smells trouble when he's approached by a porn merchant to deliver a video to a secret location. And just to add to his problems, BB, Medway's rich Syrian patron, hires him to act as minder to Ron Collins - a spoilt playboy in Africa to buy diamonds - in the Ivory Coast.All this could be the answer to his cashflow crisis, but when the video delivery leads to a shootout and the discovery of a mutilated body, Medway is more inclined to retreat to his bolthole in Benin - especially as the manner of the victim's death is too similar to a current notorious political murder for comfort.His obligations, though, keep him fixed in the Ivory Coast and he is soon caught up in a terrifying cycle of violence. But does it stem from the political upheavals in nearby Liberia, or from the cutthroat business of the diamonds? Unless Medway can get to the bottom of the mystery, he knows that for the savage killer out there in the African night, he is the next target...
