The Man from Oakdale

By Henry Coleman

Book Overview

This is the novel everyone in Oakdale is dying to read!

Henry Coleman is Oakdale's self-styled Cary Grant. Why shouldn't a man who's as smooth as a martini and blessed with a wit that's just as dry write a novel starring himself and his gorgeous girlfriend, Vienna Hyatt? In this sophisticated adventure, Coleman puts all his investigative skills to use as he searches for a missing young woman...and dares to reveal some of Oakdale's most closely-held secrets, including a few of his own.

Desperate to locate her missing granddaughter, high-powered businesswoman Lucinda Walsh hires Henry Coleman for the job. Two years ago, Lucy Montgomery kidnapped her infant half brother Johnny in order to protect him from their manipulative father, Craig Montgomery, and Johnny's equally ruthless uncle, Paul Ryan. Now, both Craig and Paul are hot on Lucy's trail and it's up to Henry and his socialite girlfriend, Vienna, to find the lovely fugitive first.

Sweeping from the sun-drenched South American Republic of Montega to a nobleman's dangerous lair in Sweden, and infiltrating the United Nations in Manhattan, Henry and Vienna discover that the tentacles of Lucy Montgomery's life on the run reach far and wide. With assistance from Margo and Tom Hughes, Sierra Esteban, and Gwen and Will Munson, and challenged by the escalating tensions in their own romantic relationship, they confront enemies both seen and unseen who are locked in a power struggle with Lucy and Johnny at its center. But when Vienna herself disappears, Henry must race against the clock to complete his mission so they can both make it back to Oakdale alive.

Laugh Ot Loud! (LOL!!) Funny!!

Trent Dawson aka "Henry Coleman" was on point and DEFINITELY in character when this book was written. If you don't laugh out loud from reading this; you obviously don't watch As The World Turns, but I believe even the most unfamiliar reader will ENJOY this book. I would definitely reccommend it to ANYONE--ESPECIALLY AS THE WORLD TURN FANS. It's even better when you're already familiar with the characters and their antics and you're able to put a voice with each written word. This is the BEST Debut book from a Soap Character that I have read in a while. I really didn't want it to end! In the words of "Emily Stewart", "Henry Coleman really sticks it to the people of Oakdale. BRAVO HENRY!! I'm ready for your next book!!

Loved this book!!!

As a fan of As the World Turns for over 50 years I looked forward to this book and it didn't disappoint!!! I LOVED it!! I laughed out loud, I could picture Henry and Vienna on their adventures. It brought back history of the show with characters from the past. Any ATWT fan would enjoy this funny, well written book~!!!!

Man from Oakdale

This was a great book! It was an easy read and it gave some insight to all characters involved, making you route for Henry(my favorite character, anyway). This is a must have for fans of As the World Turns.

The Man From Oakdale

I loved The Man From Oakdale. I'm a big As the World Turns fan. I think other people will enjoy it as well. It's nice when you know what the characters look like and sound like. It makes it more real.
