Wow, this book has it all. I love history in general, but this is so much more. It's an alternate history with mystery and suspense mixed in very well, but keeps you on the edge of your seat like any great thriller.I'm not a big fan when books romanticize historical figures, so it was very refreshing seeing this twist. Like I mentioned, it's an alternate history, but it seems so very realistic. If you didn't know any better it could just as well be our real history.This is the first book from author John Medler I've read. His writing style is simply delightful to read, and keeps you turning the page. His development of all the characters is excellent, and nothing is flat or boring.I love the story lines and how the book was presented. The beginning states it is a sequel, but I wasn't lost or out of place in the least. I am going to go back and read the first book now that I know about it, and if you like reading things in order, be sure to check it out. But as I stated it's not a deal breaker as far as the reading quality goes.I would recommend this for lovers of history, thrillers, and simply great stories. This author has one more fan for life, that's for sure.
