Podcast: Download (Duration: 37:51 — 34.7MB)
In this episode 246, we visit with Mike Bond, author of “America: Volume I,” a novel set against the backdrop of the transformative and turbulent 1960’s.
Following the lives of four young people as they navigate the political and social landscape of the time—the Vietnam War and the fight for equality, the assassination of a young, idealistic president, the rise of rock ‘n roll music, and the scientific discoveries of the decade.
The Washington Times called Mike Bond, “One of the 21st century’s most exciting authors…spellbinding readers with a writing style that pits hard-boiled, force of nature-like character against politically adept, staccato-paced plots.”
