RIVETING, READABLE, AND WELL-CRAFTED
“It hooked me right away and never flagged, It was sheer fun and adventure! I looked forward to reading several pages every night and never had to page backwards in order to pick up the thread of the plot. True, I don't usually read books in this genre but I did read "The Da Vinci Code". And I found "Initiation" to be as good if not better. I loved the names of the main characters: Driscoll, Van Bedros and Melkin and they were interesting, well-developed and easily distinguishable one from the other.” - LG
“Keith David Cooley is obviously a born story teller and this book is inspired from a deep place. The choice of words is continually pleasurable and the entire book is well-crafted - about the highest compliment I can give. Cooley is definitely a writer to watch and I look forward to reading more of his books.”
Bryan, a young man with a penchant for sensuality, stands shivering and naked in the baths of a seemingly obscure town in Asia Minor. His clothes have been stolen. It is 1977 and Bryan is traveling through the Middle East in the era just before the Islamic revolution in Iran and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Bryan meets a mysterious American of Armenian origin, Van Bedros, and together they pursue the thief. On a train he meets two tantalizing Frenchwomen and is drawn into a romantic entanglement with one of them. Soon Bryan is embroiled in an adventure full of danger, romance, suspense and intrigue while at the same time grappling with his own sensual impulses.
