Early Praise Highlights Return to Hawaii’s Impact
Return to Hawaii has already garnered significant praise from readers and critics alike. Esteemed author Judith Q. Cole, known for The Magic of The Red Dress, shared her admiration for Voelker's writing style: "Daniel J. Voelker writes from the heart and hits you in the gut." This sentiment is echoed by prominent trial attorney Randall B. Gold, who declared, “James Bond, move over!” Similarly, Danielle DeCamp, a middle school teacher, noted that Voelker’s storytelling capabilities position him as a modern-day Ian Fleming with a mix of suspense and charm. Readers like John P. Rand, a retired securities trader, have also expressed their excitement, calling the book “deep and riveting from beginning to end.”
The Author Behind the Story
Daniel J. Voelker, a trial attorney with a passion for espionage, brings his personal experiences growing up in Hawaii during the 1960s into the heart of his writing. His previous works, such as It Ain’t So, Kid, It Just Ain’t So and Will The Real James Bond Please Stand Up, have earned him recognition for his deep dive into history and culture. In Return to Hawaii, Voelker masterfully blends his passion for intrigue with his intimate knowledge of Hawaii’s landscapes and history, offering readers a compelling backdrop for his protagonist’s journey.
In an interview, Voelker remarked, "Writing Return to Hawaii allowed me to connect with the island’s culture while weaving a thrilling narrative. It’s a story of family, duty, and the secrets hidden in plain sight, all set against the beautiful yet mysterious Hawaii."
What Makes Return to Hawaii Stand Out
What sets Return to Hawaii apart from other spy novels is its unique fusion of personal stakes with global consequences. As Cross confronts his past, he faces not only his own demons but also the looming threat of a geopolitical crisis. His deep knowledge of Hawaii, combined with his spy expertise, brings a fresh perspective to the espionage genre. In addition to its compelling characters, the novel’s immersive portrayal of Hawaii provides a valuable resource for potential visitors to the Islands.
Voelker’s decision to set the novel on the island he grew up in ensures that every detail, from the scenery to the culture, is portrayed with authenticity. This combination of personal history and international intrigue makes Return to Hawaii a novel that stands out in the crowded world of spy fiction.
