Montaro Caine: A Novel (2013) - Plot & Excerpts

Sidney Poitier's first novel(?)has a definitely has a message. A baby girl is born with a coin in her hand. Montaro Caine is asked to examine the coin shortly there after. What he discovers he knows to be earth changing but the coin is no longer accessible in any way shape or form. Years later the coin has resurfaced which sets off a race to possess it. What is discovered is that there was another coin found in the hand of another baby. The two coins have been kept secret from the children who have actually come together to form their own future family. This multi threaded story has to be read to understand. This was a decent read. I must admit that I selected this because of the author, well-known actor/director Sidney Poitier. I didn't know what to expect reading mixed reviews after I started this novel. The story is a little out there. Teo infants born with coins in their hands and the mystery that follows...where did they come from? Analysis showed some previously non-existent materials in the content. Did they arrive from an ancient civilization, outer space, etc. The story is developed well, the characters also; they are likable. Overall a decent light read.
