What they say about Best Selling Author Harrison Livingstone's novels and non fiction: "A triumph!" --The New York Times about David Johnson Passed Through Here, under the pen name of John Fairfield. "This book rings eerily, echoes the human pulse on reverb, clatters, howls. I was engrossed quite against my will. . . there are no writerly effects. The book is readable, oddly charming. The book is honest. It has a terrible authenticity. I am grateful for John Fairfield's (Harrison Livingstone) triumph!" "A foursquare sea novel in the tradition of Herman Melville." About The Wild Rose--Prof. William Alfred, Harvard University. "Very good writing," The Publisher's Weekly. "Monumental investigation! The Guardian. "Case reopened! Killing The Truth contains plenty of new evidence. Even more readable and exciting than his last bestseller." --Kirkus Reviews. "Gutsy. . . no one should miss his summary of the hard evidence for a conspiracy."" --Times (London)
