	The Bastard's Weapon is reviewed in Exhibit A
"Orlando has written about what he knows and loves best: family values, trial lawyering, Gloucester fishermen and good Italian food. And he succeeds in making your senses tingle for each one. Not only is his latest novel an entertaining digression into the arduous and often dangerous lives of Gloucester fishermen and their families, but it offers a tantalizing invitation into the life of John Palermo, first-generation Sicilian, a fisherman's son and a dashingly eloquent trial attorney." • Click here to buy the book
The Bastard's Weapon is reviewed in Massachusetts Lawyer's Weekly "...an engaging tribute to the glory of Gloucester fishermen and the adventure of good lawyering... [Orlando] cleverly blurs the lines of good and evil to tease the reader, inevitably the good are very, very good and the evil are rotten. The fun lies in determining who is who."

The Fisherman's Son wins praise from The Boston Globe and from Massachusetts Lawyer's Weekly "Lawyer's novel has a sharp hook." - Alan Lupo, The Boston Globe "Orlando possesses an incredible ability to define and flesh out characters - male and female, rich and poor, good and evil. A plethora of interesting characters, a touch of suspense, a believable love triangle, and an inspiring courtroom battle, The Fisherman's Son will not allow your attention to wander. I was hooked early on and literally never put the book down, reading it in one sitting, late into the night." - Scott Katz, Massachusetts Lawyer's Weekly "Only a son of a fisherman could do what Joe Orlando accomplished, he wrote the book of the fishing people." - Vincent Ferrini, poet laureate of Gloucester "As gripping an inside novel as I have encountered in years. Hooked from the start, I couldn't put this cliffhanger down." - Joseph E. Garland, author and historian. • Click here to buy the book
