The Woodstock Trilogy by Martin Rots - Reviews
What critics and readers are saying about The Woodstock Trilogy Series…
“The Woodstock Conspiracy begins from the viewpoint of the man in charge of the Woodstock Music Festival from the governmental logistics end. With good character development and an intriguing story line, if one has any interest in the history of the founders of the Rock and Roll generation movement, this is a must read. When this one gains in popularity, it will rival the mystery of the death of Elvis for years.” 12String55
“When you sit down (highly recommended) to read this book, strap on your seat belt, it's a wild ride. Take a little Hunter Thompson, add some Dashiell Hammett, throw in a pinch of noir, and let it ferment for five minutes in a bottle of Boone's Farm...that's the mix this book delivers on. Mr. Rots has brought me back to 1969 with such reality, I would swear I personally know several of the characters. Truth as entertainment, or entertainment posing as truth... I'll have to think that one over....in the meantime......bravo!” R. Baker
“Just as the comedians are the only popular media telling us the truth about our current civic situation, the musicians of the sixties were revealing the truths of US government compliance with the military industrial complex.
"The CIA operative, Percy, begins to think that killing a few rock stars is more desirable than opening fire on a gathering the size of Woodstock. Percy is an odd mix of right-wing, Christian CIA operative and Vietnam vet with distaste for a government turning to the use of covert operations at home. Marla is beautiful and dynamic. Unafraid of anything, she is the woman of 60's who believes she has no boundaries and is entitled to all life has to show her. Her view of the musicians is unabashedly sexual and full of real and imagined secrets from endless biographies written about these minstrels of revolution. Her brother Monday, the assassin, becomes the hero without intention. His dedication to his CIA family becomes filled with holes as he uncovers the truth of what the CIA and other government agencies are planning to do to its own citizens.
“This book is full of dark humor, exotic and erotic sex, inspiring humanity, and many extreme scenes that I will dwell on for eons. Rots has a disclaimer in the forward claiming the book is historical fiction, but who knows, maybe he's on to something.” R. Stone
“The sixties are a bit hazy for me and this recollection of the times brought me back full tilt boogie with all the music, musicians, passion, repression, and Age of Aquarian belief in art and music. Loved it.” Sparky4Peace
“Like WikiLeaks for the 1960’s only told in a funny, sexy, wild and wise style of writing. I can’t get enough of this author’s sensitive understanding our involvement in the war in Vietnam, the governments’ surveillance and violence against its own citizens, and the ultimate silencing of the revolution with the deaths of so many leaders including the Kennedy’s, Martin Luther King, and our beloved musicians, Joplin, Hendrix, Morrison and John Lennon.”
“Rots use of a CIA assassin and his hippie sister to reveal the story of the disastrous 1969 Chicago Democratic Convention creates one explosive expose of the actual events of that time. Well done.” K. Ferrarelli
“When Monday the assassin asks the herion-addicted girlfriend of Jimi Hendrix if she knows the next target, Jim Morrison, she answers, 'No,' Monday tosses her out the window with the comment, 'Too bad.'" This book is full of dark humor, exotic and erotic sex, inspiring humanity, and many extreme scenes that I will dwell on for eons. The book is historical fiction but discerning the truth from the fiction is debatable.” P. Manning
