The Coin of the Realm

"The Coin of the Realm is hard to categorize yet easy to love. On one level it's a gripping thriller with exotic locales, memorable characters, and a compelling romance; while just beneath the surface swirl mysteries of destiny, purpose, the intricate workings of fate, and the ultimate sources of meaning in life. The novel's transcendent themes will haunt the reader long after the 'thrill er] is gone.' I recommend it most highly."
-Roy Schoeman, author of Salvation is from the Jews and Honey from the Rock (Ignatius Press)

"With its sure-handed style and literary polish, one is hard-pressed to accept that The Coin of the Realm is a first novel. This is pure adventure storytelling, yet intertwined with the eternal quest for truths that lie just beyond our grasp. Seagoing exploits aboard Caroline Coast, a ramshackle freighter, conjure passages of Patrick O'Brian-distinct praise indeed. But whether the scene is set in the Great Lakes, the Atlantic, Tunisia, or the Sahara, the author keeps the pace moving and the excitement high, using action and mystery to skillfully project us into the minds and hearts of his characters. Roger Dubin has proven he's a writer to watch."
-Anthony Eglin, author of The Blue Rose, The Lost Gardens, Trail of the Wild Rose, The Water Lily Cross, and Garden of Secrets Past (St. Martin's Press)

About the Author

After a stint in the Merchant Marine at age sixteen, and several forays into college, New York City-born Roger Dubin worked on and off for a decade as a guitarist and songwriter. Between gigs he wrote news copy and advertising copy, which led to an award-winning career as a marketing executive and consultant in the cruise and travel industries, principally in San Francisco, Hawaii, and New York. An overwhelming mystical experience in 2005 brought about his conversion from Judaism to Catholicism. He now lives in northern Arizona with his wife Barbara; The Coin of the Realm is his first novel.
