Another look at love and relationships with a twist from Durden Kell. Take John le Carré Cold War tales, roll them into a comedy set, add a dose of "Come to Jesus" confessions of the heart, and you will have "The Dance Floor War" novels. This first title in a series of three ["Lucinda's People" is second and "Collisions" is third] is told in first person by journalist Gordon Wesley Asbury whose reporting on The War Between The Sexes has never been more fun, poignant, and truthful in his "Dispatches From The Front". Gordon begins his book thusly: "Dear Reader, The line between love and hate is thin. These eight words completely describe all the relations between man and woman since Adam was introduced to Eve and they had their first dance in the middle of the Garden of Eden. Oh, what a dance it must have been. This is, at last, bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh, Adam said poetically to Eve when they were introduced. We can well imagine Eve batting her perfect eyelashes in that first come hither. We know what Adam was thinking: Hot damn. I'm getting laid." Gordon, ordered by his newspaper to take a break from the reporting on that war, does his best to relax. Instead, he meets Lucinda, one of the foremost soldiers in this war though she does not yet know it, and falls in love with her. Gordon reports on the primary place for this battle, the Dance Floor, where Lucinda is a favorite of most of the dancers who have enlisted in this war. He and Lucinda pretend not to know each other, and Gordon interviews the people who interact with Lucinda. After each Saturday night they have breakfast the following morning where he tells her what he learned and asks for her firsthand knowledge. Along the way he meets character after character.
