The Silver King portrays the intrigue within the Contra underground seeking Nicaragua's first democracy. Sheridan Quince, an American pilot, aspires to catch and release a world-record tarpon, or 'Silver King', with a fly rod in the Caribbean. In Costa Rica, however, Elsa Paraiso leads him into the power struggle between the US-backed Contras and the USSR-financed Sandinistas. The Silver King chronicles high finance in Panama, traversing San Jose, and both Caribbean rainforests and Managua under siege. It is a worthy tale about the value of a free society to four million people gripped in a desperate struggle to build one..../ The Silver King / Swing RodSwing Rod

Finance, politics, love and deep sea fishing a good mix : The Silver King
The incredible book "The Silver King" is written to portray a time frame of the fight for freedom and democracy in Nicaragua during the Contra Revolution. It is as the author states a "creation of fiction". The book intertwines political intrigue into a short romance between Elsa and Sheridan and while I did not understand the importance of this lusty romance, it served as a great entertainment and hooking device. I found myself reading more and more as their relationship unfolded. Especially when Elsa left Sheridan the note that read: "I came here also to talk to you about something important. But now I cannot. There is not time." This bit of forweshadowing and instances similiar to this are throughoutthe book.The author utilizes many Rhetorical elements such as irpony, satire, foreshadowing, symbolism, religion, and imagery along with thematic elements such as religion, specific symbols such as the Tarpon fish and Love to create a tapestry of events leading to the Contra Revolution.
While reading the book my classmates and I had the chance to converse through e-mail with the author. While on the subject of Rhetorical elements, I was most curious to know what the significance of the stars at the end of each "chapter" or "section" were? He answered back, quite enthusiastically, that he refers to his writing as "pixilism." "It considers sentences as pixels, which are the small dots that make up a photograph." He revealed that he believes life is portrayed as pixels which in turn creates his role as an author to tell a story. I admire his desire to be unique but I found at times his sentence structure to broken up to read through fluently. I found myself having to stop at each though and think about what he was trying to say. At times I also found the repetitive use of the words "he said", "she said" after each sentence in a conversation were a nuisance and a wasteof valuable words when there were a whole lot of descriptive words such as "he chuckled", or "she snarled." These words seem a lot more useful in creating a visual picture in the readers mind. While I am saying all this, keep in mind, I loved the book! It was extremely intrigueing and had a great plot structure. And the fact that 10% of his proceeds that came from the book are donated to the International Red Cross for Humanitarian relief to Nicaragua, makes me admire the author even more. I like books where the main character is really fighting for what he believes in and while the author states that his characters are purely fictional, I can't help but wonder is Sheridan represents the authors atitude, and tone toward the Contra Revolution. I highly recommend this book to everyone. The struggle, the love, and the mystery are so intrigueing you will find it hard to put the book down!
