I enjoyed reading this book … Ms. Hawkins intrigued me sufficiently to read volume two.

Awesome book with amazing accuracy ... The character progression that protagonist, David, goes through is deep and compelling ... Definitely pick this book up!

A must historical read ... This is a compelling historical account of the American Civil War ... It evokes the strongest of emotions and makes one reassess their viewpoints towards war and the propensity of man's innate aggressive nature.

... Ms. Hawkins does a very good job of developing David's character arc; transforming his revenge driven exuberance to kill a few Yankees into the suffering and pain of seeing death and destruction all around him. Ms. Hawkins also does an exemplary job with her battle scenes, though brief, they are very well done, and she pulls no punches when it comes to showing her readers the blood and gore of a Civil War battlefield.
