Dick's Island

Dick's Island is fantasy fiction written during the historical period of the early 1980's, which adds flavor and color of the times without the restrictions of realty. Have you ever thought of living on a Tropical Island or even owning one? Dick McLaw not only owns his Island Paradise, his Island is the smallest nation in the United Nations just 150 miles of the shore of Miami Florida. Like in the original Garden of Paradise, there is evil that first threatens him and the people who live on Dick's Island. When he kills a prehistoric shark that should have been extent 350 million years ago it opened the door to an even greater threat. Finding a 10 year old Soviet Union Space Vehicle buried under the sea floor just off his Island with the cosmonauts still alive in it pulls him and his tiny Notion into a major International Confrontation that could start World War 3. The Russians wants their Spaceship back, the United States does not want the Russians to have it back and the Chinese wants to steal it and use it to catch up with their own Space Exploration and Development Program. Dick may have won this Island in a poker game but now he faces the biggest poker game of his life where the winner could take it all.
