4.0 out of 5 stars Fast-paced mystery/action/romance!
Reviewed in Canada on November 13, 2003
I raced through this book at the speed of sound, breaking only between 1 AM and 6 AM to catch some sleep. It is written almost like a movie script, cutting quickly between scenes in a variety of places, Hong Kong, Davis (CA), San Francisco, Paris, etc. The main character, Jonas, a 50-something ne'er-do-well with six marriages and several dozen affairs in the bag, has the opportunity of a lifetime to make it "big" when his son (from his second wife) re-enters his life with a scheme to turn the world's energy situation upside down. Although he thinks he is worldly, the rest of the world proves him to be an actual innocent, a relatively small player in a big shark tank. How he, his second wife and sixth wife, his mistress, son and a handful of other interesting and sometimes nefarious characters resolve all the plot angles is great reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast-paced, dark and gritty thriller
Reviewed in Canada on September 2, 2003
Veering towards sixty, Jonas Lamb has been married six times with five ending in not so harmonious divorces. Currently wife number six is wealthy and dying; Jonas does what he does best, muddle relationships by having an affair with another woman angering his stepdaughter.
Jonas' son Patrick has discovered a cheap oil substitute that will rock the pillars of modern geo-politics. The amoral Jonas sees this as a chance to gain affluence and power while reconciling with his son who he has ignored forever. Jonas needs seed money so he goes to an almost as sleazy friend, Hong Kong billionaire Jimmy Yee for the investment capital. However, a secret of this magnitude and impact cannot stay hidden for long. Soon the Feds want to control "BLACK SHEEP", not necessarily for altruistic reasons. To do so they and others will gladly slaughter the two Lambs.
This is a fast-paced, dark and gritty thriller that never slows down for a moment. Perhaps except for Patrick and his mother there seems to be no good guys including the lead rogue, whose behavior lacks anything remotely ethical or at least facetiously charming. Though there is a minor romance subplot, fans of grim action-packed story lines will want to read this testosterone thriller.

4.0 out of 5 stars Black Sheep
Reviewed in Canada on November 21, 2003
See storyline above.
In his latest novel Kaiser focuses on GMO's (Genetically Modified Organisms), specifically one that would ruin the oil business with a modified version of ethanol. There is action as well as romance. Much of the time is focused on Jonas Lamb's (the protagonist) relationships--a man who has had six marriages. It moves at a satifying pace with a satisfying ending.
Recommended.
