In His Book, “Diamond and Disas,” Author Harold Koopowitz Transports Readers to the Desolate Parts of Southern Africa
When George, a botanist, and lecturer at the University of California, was asked for a consultation by Paul Tylo, the head of a massive mining firm, he found himself immersed in a continuous, action-packed adventure set in Southern Africa.
George and Matilda are obliged to go on the quest for a rare orchid that might be worth billions of dollars, along with their young assistant William and his new boyfriend, Jake. They must accomplish it by revealing facts and warnings written in an ancient book. The disappearance of an amateur geologist first deployed by Tylo verified the books authenticity. The book is filled with paranormal legends and mentions monsters from African cultures, such as tokoloshes and halfmen, who were thought to defend the valley where the orchid was discovered.
What happened to the geologist who found the flower while searching for alluvial diamonds in the arid part of the Dark Continent? Will they encounter and deal with paranormal creatures with human bodies and animal heads? Is it true that dreadful spirits consume ones fingers and toes? What about the halfmen?
The novel is a hybrid of fiction and non-fiction. The breadth of Koopowitzs orchid expertise is on full show, with references that will pique the interest of orchid aficionados. Readers who arent interested in botany will be drawn in by the aspects of adventure, action, suspense, and African culture. Koopowitz strikes the ideal blend between instructional and thrilling in this book.
