I refer to reading hisorical novels as sugar-coated history. Paul Block tells good stories based on much research. With the San Francisco trilogy, he took me through the seminal years of the city. With Beneath the Sky and Darkening of the Light I learned about the problems in China that led to the Boxer Rebellion. His Song of the Mohicans is meant to be a continuation of Last of the Mohicans, and I have read two westerns that he wrote under the name of Hank Mitchum (I know not wny). If the first trilogy weren't as good as it was, I wouldn't have continued. I would read anything he writes, but he hasn't written lately.
This is the best series that I have ever read

Paul Block does a tremendous job in the San Francisco series. I have read all of them, San Francisco, The Deceit, Darkening of the Light, The Calling and Beneath the Sky. Mr Block takes the reader to these times and places and keeps them there. Two thumbs up. A must read if you can find a copy.
I have enjoyed this book immensely.

I would like to find the 2nd of the series called Darkening of the Light of the San Francisco series. I have looked for over 3 years for it. The book Darkening of the Light I found was another series. Are there only 3 books to this series? or four? please?
Full of romance, and suspense.

I am very fond of this book. It is definetely my favorite book of all time. I've read it about 10 times and I still enjoy reading it every time. I would be even more happy if I was able to find the continuation of this book. I have been looking for it for two years.
