Montaro Caine: A Novel
Montaro Caine, CEO of a large mining corporation, has hit a rough spot. Trouble in the field has made him an apt scapegoat for his company, while at home, his daughter faces legal troubles. Now, with the takeover sharks circling and his company on the line, a strange duo brings him a mysterious coin with properties unlike those in any element of the known world. Montaro has seen one like it before, though, many years earlier, and when he goes in search of this sister coin, the mystery deepens, morphing what began as a desperate quest to save his company into a journey of discovery that could change the world. A large cast of characters, ranging from the intellectual and corporate sectors to the rural world of the Bahamas, colors this captivating blend of corporate intrigue and science fiction. Not just another thriller, though, this debut novel, woven by the well-loved Poitier, is a thought-provoking tale of caution and hope that is as elegant and riveting as the legendary actor and director himself. --Cortney Ophoff
