Rendition Conducive To Books Baden-Powell's Beads (Beads #1)
"'I've searched for you.' The patient struggled to get the words out. 'There are...more.' 'More what, Mr. Baroni?' Perspiration beaded on the old man's upper lip and his already pale complexion blanched. He pulled Freeman closer and gasped, 'I'm sorry. Find the others...'" In Memphis, Tennessee, Dr. David Freeman is given a strange wooden bead by a dying patient and soon finds himself pursued by a murderous band of Zulus, thought to be responsible for the gruesome murders of three elderly gentlemen in London, England. Homeland Security agents Patrick Dartson and Adnan Fazeph are assigned the case and discover Freeman's bead to be one of twenty-four passed along to the world's first Scoutmasters in 1919 by Lord Baden-Powell in England. The Zulus are not content to merely steal the talisman but feel it necessary to ritually behead the owner in order to restore the bead's power. Much of the beads' history and power remains a mystery-and the Zulus may not be alone in their pursuit. The agents devise a plot to capture the Zulus alive but can they succeed before Freeman and his girlfriend, Pam Blanchard, become their next victims? "Baden-Powell's Beads," the first book in the Beads series, is based on the true story of Zulu beads recovered in the Boer War. Paul Parsons uses historically accurate events and religious history to weave a gripping, fast-paced thriller that keeps readers enthralled until the very end.

I wrote it, so my comments would be colored.I just went through my wood badge training so it was a good read with the fact and fiction mixed in. I really enjoyed the story and will move to the next book in the series.
Wow. There were so many historical inaccuracies in Chapter One alone that I didn't bother with the rest of the book.I wrote it, so my comments would be colored.
I had the pleasure of reading this book, which is apparently the writer's first published book. I was wowed! It was action packed and such a page turner that I stayed up much too late a couple of nights. My husband read it and loved it as well. I'm eager to read his next book and I look forward to hearing that it will become a motion picture. I highly recommend this book. I have recommended this book to several friends who have enjoyed the book. I hope they will take the time to write a review.
This premier novel is a good start on a possible second career for this successful orthopedic surgeon. With two more to go in the "Beads" series, his entry into the published author's circle is certainly ambitious. Enjoyable adventure.
An entertaining read. I enjoyed it as the fictional adventure that it is! Looking forward to the next story!
