Review: Background Filler for Primary Series
Rating: 5 out of 5

I picked up this short vignette to discover what Michael Wallace had to add to the story as portrayed inThe RighteousandMighty and Strong (The Righteous). It was a quick read, but very informative about the background and motivations of someone who becomes a major player in the main series. As with the primary series, Wallace provides an excellent story, complete with the emotions that drive a young man still forming his character. I felt sorry for an honest young man who was driven by those he esteemed to commit murder, all in the name of religious belief. It put me in mind of the young men today who are told by their Islamic fundamentalist leaders that they must kill to satisfy their destiny.I applaud Mr. Wallace for adding this short story to his cast of characters from the Blister Creek community. Even more peripheral stories would be welcome as this broad cast of characters continues to take shape.
