The author has researched, planned, and executed a thrilling tale. Excellent character development, dialogue, and narration. The decisions of the Powells and the other families in the valley are EXACTLY on target. I personally enjoy hearing the plot develop from different Points of View; Lloyd, Buddy, Gary, Randi, Pops&Nanna, & Alice. I didn’t find any significant errors. I have very few issues- with the narrators pronunciation of “epoch”, “blaïsé”, and “Schnoikees”.
