"There are some memoirs
that make you wonder why the author didn't wait
until he'd actually lived a little bit of his life
before trying to remember it and get it down on
paper. Mike Rodman's splendid collection, 'Beyond
the Sea,' is something else entirely. The life contained
within these pages is rich and interesting and funny
enough for several volumes; the 40 stories he chooses
to share are the wonderful appetizer at the start
of a five-star meal. Here's to many, many more future
encounters with this writer's special talent and
extraordinary story telling."
