Customer Reviews

A captivating adventure I never wanted to end.

Upon reading this book I was thrust into the intricate web of life of the Gaviero. His wandering soul delves in and out of reality, dreams, and memories of places past and present. One is forced to tag along and actually feel empathy for our unlikely hero as he crosses the globe time and time again finding love and danger in the unlikeliest places and ultimately surrenders himself to fate.
