Ironclad Promise

I personally loved this book and would recommend it to anyone who is interested in Civil War era history. Especially the Navy side of that period. Not much is written about the naval exploits on either side. Even though it is fiction it is based on good knowledge of the subject. I felt as if I got to know the characters. I found the book to be a very easy read and looked forward to picking it up after I laid it down. It had all the necessary ingredients for me to be a good page turner. I had the good fortune to meet the author at a Civil War roundtable I belong to out here in Southern California. Bob is an amature writer and I think it is his first voyage so to speak into novels. For a first out book I think he has done very well.

Ironclad Promise

Bob Wall brings the civil war to life in the captivating story of Henry Lowry, a young man who defies his widowed mother's wishes and sails aboard the ironclad during the Civil War. The action is exciting, the period is deftly brought to life but the author's great strength lies in his expert characterizations. I felt I knew Henry, his mother, his grandfather and all the others who people this marvelous story of caring, choices and courage. Kudos to Wall for a job well done.
