Reaction to Snow on the Golden Horn, the first Alan Llewellyn novel. "Walt Breede has fashioned a rousing story of international intrigue and mayhem. What's unusual and charming in this retired Marine officer's book is how he blends an idyllic portrait of American small town family life with a harrowing tale of abduction, chicanery in the art world, Turkish delights and menaces, and Russian Mafia operations....If you like suspense, exotic locations and effective characterization, you'll enjoy "Snow on the Golden Horn." - Phil Jason, Ph.D., United States Naval Academy professor emeritus of English writing in the Florida Weekly, Week of March 10-16, 2011; Vol. 1, No. 22.
