"Following up on his wonderful debut Document, Glen is back with a whole new set of adventures, both fiction and real-life, as well as insightful commentary on the state of everything from war, sports, and the criminal justice system. The unique part of Glen's perspective is that he does not just write about these topics - he has lived every one. A veteran of the Marine Corps, a former Division I football and baseball player, a former federal prosecutor - Glen has walked the walk and gone back for more. As opposed to the many writers today who theorize on these topics without ever having worn a uniform, stepped foot on a ballfield, or tried a high-profile case, Glen has done them all. Adding in a multitude of fictional short stories and tales from Glen's travels, Cloudbreak takes its readers on a ride all over the world and, like its predecessor Document, leaves each and every reader wanting more." -Amazon reader
"This is an excellent collection of short stories and essays by Glen Hines. It follows his initial effort, Document, which is also worth seeking out. Hemingway, who knew a thing or two about writing, once said "a writer's job is to tell the truth." Hines succeeds in truth-telling because he mines first-hand experience as a Marine officer with combat deployments, an attorney, a division one athlete, and a husband and father; these are his stories. Hines writes with the warmth and fluidity of a natural story-teller that makes you sad when you reach the last page. More please." -Amazon reader
"Cloudbreak is an excellent collection of short stories from a brilliant up and coming author. Whether driving through the east coast low-country or in a courtroom aboard Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Glen's talent as an American storyteller is axiomatic. Do yourself a favor, fill a glass with your favorite single-malt, settle into a shaded hammock and read this book cover to cover." -Amazon reader
