MEAN DAYS

MEAN DAYS

GENRE: Contemporary Fiction

MEAN DAYS is a riveting thriller that captures readers in the grip of its potentially news-at-ten plot and won't let go until the shattering conclusion. As it explores the depth and poignancy of the human experience through the sardonic and amusing viewpoint of the assistant principal, Central High is like any other secondary school until violence erupts from within, and a seething ages-old cultural hatred launches a seemingly unstoppable assault. This time, the terrorists are after our children. The novel's humor tempers the page-turning action-adventure thrust, providing a thoroughly satisfying experience. However, readers are all too aware of the approaching explosive danger that threatens the fictional, yet familiar and recognizable characters from their communities. MEAN DAYS reflects the honesty, humor, humanity, pathos, and potential violence to be found in society and its public institutions.

MEAN DAYS IS A MUST READ!" ***** 5.0 out of 5 stars Amazon Review! - March 8,2010 - "Phillip Voglen wastes no time with long introductions to the parade of interesting characters (there is even a mob boss!),and it will be hard to put the book down once you begin reading it..." -- By m squared "Mike" (Sound Beach, NY USA)

It is in the middle of the Island, and the community is known for its outstanding school system. That is why many of the families have chosen to live there. The high school is approximately one mile from this main highway, the Long Island Expressway. All three of Abdul Jehmar’s beautiful young daughters attend this high school. Central High School it is called. Here is where we will strike.”
