Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)A great fast paced read. John's ability to mix historic facts with ficticious adventure makes this a book hard to put down. His characters are fully developed and believable. I liked Copper's narrative being written in the vernacular. It set a certain tone for his character. John's use of the literary style of switching back and forth from Copper's escape to Handles pursuit kept the adventure moving along at a good pace. Many of the "switches" ended in a cliffhanger that compelled the reader to move on. Besides being a good read, this book takes you on a geographical and historical tour of Northern California and the Pacific Northwest.
