Ringland
Ringland, a new sword-and-sorcery theme park in Upper Bavaria, erupts into real-life terror. Computerized special effects—animatronic dragons and a fantasy castle with parapets aflame—are hijacked by a terrorist mastermind, who then programs his own deadly pyrotechnics. Meanwhile, as the world looks on through media eyes, contending factions of eco-warriors and neo-Nazi motorcycle gangs lay siege to the park, further escalating what is already a PR disaster. Finally, with thousands of tourists already en route for Ringland’s official opening day, the mysterious terrorist threatens mass casualties unless his diabolical demands are met. Outmaneuvered at every step, frustrated security forces enlist a visiting FBI agent to help them find and foil the evil genius at the epicenter of the apocalyptic violence.

Ringland by Dan Pollock
The fact that the story takes place in a amusement park would make one think of a light hearted, amusing adventure and one would be wrong! Ringland, an amusement park influenced by Wagner, is under siege by environmentalists and terrorist which may possibly be one and the same.
Pollock stocks his pond with a wide variety of fish. Not only do you have the corporate capitalist, you have the American Military, the German police, the FBI, Harley riding thugs and blonde, blue eyed Amazons!
The story has a nicely complicated plot. You may deduce the villain early on but you as well as the book's characters have no proof. The emotional aspects of the story are focused on loss, by Quinn and by Karolina.
Although fiction, the author points out the almost inevitable collision between the diverse thoughts of progress, profit and environment.
I recommend it. BTW there is some kinky sex that my offend sensitive readers, this is NOT a YA book.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Well written with an engaging plot, it was very easy to read. I didn't want to put it down.
Dan Pollock's book Ringland is a well written book with intriguing and well written characters that runs the gauntlet from German citizens to American military AND FBI, environmentalists to Blonde haired blue eyed Valkyries. Set in a amusement park themed on Wagner, it sounds as if it will be a light-hearted romp. Not at all.
