As the friction between
St. John`s poet environmentalist, Luke Delaney and ACOM
oil executive Nathan Brophy escalates, Angéline LeBlanc, a
Cajun beauty with a curious past kindles one fire while
dousing another. Between hurricanes, nor'easters and
revolving doors, the cast begins unraveling and all seems
lost. But in the story`s wild waterways, the unlikely hero
remains buoyant, bobbing along, hoping to save the City of
Dreams from the gravity of deception and greed.© 2010

Luke" is available in eBook format from Amazon.ca
"Loved this Book. A first novel by retired teacher and published poet Herbert Hopkins, that takes place in St. John's, Newfoundland, which pits environmentalism against big oil and dumb luck against cold calculation, all the while extolling the virtues of friends and family, with all the associated joy, tragedy, strength, fragility and laughter that makes our lives what they are."
