The coals of the revolution of 1795-1803 that overturned the Bourbon dynasty of the French royal house ignited a fire on the island of Haiti in the Caribbean more than two thousand miles west of France and light years distant in human affairs. French Colonists had established paradise for themselves and a living hell for five hundred thousand black slaves. A parade of memorable giants live within these pages: Toussaint L'Ouverture, Napoleon, Christophe, Leclerc, Dessalines, Rochambeau, Hardy, Rigaud, Jeannot, planter Henri Julian, Neville, Rubidoux, Susan L'Ouverture, Count de Noe, Minister Talleyrand and Pauline Leclerc, Napoleon's sibling who brought an unprecedented level of social behavior to that licentious society.
Fifty years a slave, Toussaint L'Ouverture, liberator of Haiti, was a legend in his time. His passionate belief that the enslavement of his people must end carried through the terror and bloodshed that destroyed Napoleon's legions and dispossessed the French colonists. Four words tell the story, 'war of the skin,' as the parade of monumental historical characters intrigue and deceive in that garden spot of the Caribbean.
The author's inventory of novels and screenplays offers a wide variety of plots, locations and dates, i.e., THE BLACK NAPOLEON is set during the Napoleonic era, JUDGE NOT takes place in San Francisco, California in the 1990's, AMELIA EARHART 1945 in north China, World War II, THE KNIFE in the imperial County 1907, ODYSSEY OF JIM DOPYLE during the great depression, LAST WEEKEND in Hollywood, a current story, and many others ranging far and wide in time and place.
A wonderful air of authenticity is present in all of his works, some growing out of personal experience. Hannon holds an Honorable Discharge from the U.S. Navy, the Royal Canadian Air Force and the U.S. Army, Paratroop Infantry and Military Intelligence.
THE BLACK NAPOLEON is an unusual achievement involving extensive research over the years utilizing libraries in Paris, London, New York and Los Angeles evidenced in the remarkable story line.
