Brewster Milton Robertson has done it again. How come (why) don't we know more about this guy---The man can write..He can tell a story and he can spin a yarn... In this novel, Buchanan Forbes has all the troubles a man can imagine: he gets fired, has a bitchy wife (Oh, what a bitchy wife!!), the IRS is on his trail, his wife tries to take his sons from him and he falls love with not one, not two, but three women. Yet, in the end, Buchanan Forbes comes out all right--better and even richer--in the end. Brewster Milton Robertson is a master at character development and story action. He writes "can't-put-it-down books, and even when not reading the book, his characters and their many human characteristics come to mind again and again. And, there's always an unexpected but plausible twist at the end. After reading his novel "A Posturing of Fools," one learned reader said Robertson reminds him of Tom Wolfe. "Rainy Days and Sundays" is another in a growing line of Brewster Milton Robertson masterpieces, leaving readers and his fans to clamor, "More, more, more...give us more..." He is that good!!

The Feds are aiming to clean up the multi-billion dollar black market in prescription drug and medical device samples involving manufacturers, crooked detailmen, and physicians. To make matters worse the Feds are following the lead of a dingbat conservative President who has just outlawed all abortions and seems determined to return to dark ages politics of the 1950's.Forbes finds himself in the middle of this mess when several young Carolina women die as a result of botched abortions involving experimental IUD's. The Feds pour on the heat and Forbes is wrongly accused of prescription drug theft and sales. His life is further shattered when his faithless wife leaves him taking with her Forbes's four beloved sons. Forbes sets out to put his life and reputation right and he has to fight mighty odds. If and how he is to succeed makes great suspense and a powerful read. Get the book and read it now. It won't wait for a "Rainy Day" or a "Sunday."

Robertson has written a fast paced, credible, suspense yarn. The characters are so real that I found myself being concerned about them when I was not reading the novel. This book is flat-out fun and I hope we will get to see more of Buchanan Forbes.
