great example of american authors..their grasp of history,mans character,fiction,naration,and how to weave it all together,to create a story as action packed,emotional,and realalistic..HIGHLY possible future…Then the ending HEALED all the gut renching tramatic details of the story..I am a product of The Citadel,and I cried like a baby at the healing ending the talented authors had woven ..So FAR SUPERIOR…Lees Sherwood,Tok,Alaska 2023
