Architect of Havoc Judge Santiago Burdon Review by: Steve Corbett
In Judge Santiago Burdon’s most recent collection of short stories, innocence bleeds into experience, youthful dreams nurture third-degree bravado and heartfelt awakening gives birth to raw courage. Burdon spins tales from his hardboiled brain with the desperation of a street killer sprung in a jailbreak. He makes the good old days breathe with heightened sensitivity and love but also drives a sharp stake into the beating heart of nostalgia. In these smart, detailed adventures, wisdom is sometimes betrayed by spiritual desolation and hatred. Hard enough to show his soft side, Burdon knows you can die hoping for the best but it’s still best to hope. Architect of Havoc pulses and perseveres from one page to the next. Read this book. The man can write. Steve Corbett is the author of three novels: Blood Red Syrah, Paddy’s Day in Trump Town and Weed Wine Magic. Read his blog at https://theoutlawcorbett.com/
