Customer Reviews

It's historical fiction.

I found this novel entertaining in the extreme. Of course, I wouldn't cite it in a college term paper or in a serious historical work, but I'm certain that the author didn't intend for it to be used for that reason. It's historical fiction, with the emphasis on the word, fiction. I rate a novel on how enjoyable it was to read and, since I read historical fiction to escape from the world of today, I also rate it on whether or not it made me feel as if I were there? This one did. I would recommend it to any historical fiction buff. A good writer of historical fiction throws in just enough of the facts to make it believable to that time period, nothing more. Mr. Killian certainly did this. Read it. It's a very good story. It is a tradegy that Mr. Killian's pen has been silenced, he was an accomplished writer. For those who like to read historical fiction set in the French and Indian War era, I would also recommed the following books. Red Morning, Red MorningMidwife of the Blueridge, Midwife of the Blue RidgeLoving Lynn Celia, Loving Lynn Celia: A Novel Of The French And Indian Warand Savage Wilderness Savage Wildernessjust to name a few.
