Customer Reviews

Great novel. A tale with a real zest for life.

I'm not a big novel reader, but I picked up this weighty tome at my mother-in-laws house when there was precious little else of interest to read. This book tells a very interesting story that is interwoven with real history. The characters are colorful. Most importantly, the story has a drive and power to it that makes one want to get up out of your chair and do something!
