John Lockton Author of Odyssey's Child's

John Lockton

JOHN LOCKTON is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Yale and graduate of Harvard Law School. His first novel, "Odyssey’s Child” is a joyous celebration of a youngster’s self discovery on a Huck Finn type voyage through the Caribbean, a harrowing modern “Odyssey.” It captures his own remarkable two month, 1,500 mile small boat voyage through the Caribbean at the age of thirteen. His second novel in a planned trilogy, “The Prisoner of Secrets,” uncovers the hidden American origins of the Holocaust and brings to life his “Catcher in the Rye” existence in a repressive New England school where bullying was the rule and rebellion the only way to survive.

Prisoner Of Secrets

This is a marvelous read, the most rare and precious thing, a brand new classic, totally engrossing. The Prisoner of Secrets sprawls across time and space telling the largely untold story of the American origins of the Holocaust and giving new perspective to what happened in the US and Germany. At the center of it all is an irrepressible hero out of “Catcher in the Rye." Utterly contemporary in its themes—causes of discrimination, white entitlement, child abuse, family dysfunction. You’ll find joy and sadness but won’t put it down as Justin follows his secrets to an unforgettable conclusion.

Odyssey's Child

For fans of "Life of Pi" and "The Alchemist,” an unforgettable, highly entertaining literary epic, brimming with excitement and magic that will have you laughing, crying, a celebration of the joy of life that is the Caribbean. Written for those taking a Caribbean cruise, lovers of sailing and travel, and those interested in history, sea adventure, and books with a unique psychological overlay.
