Mighty and Strong (Righteous Series #2)
"[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:OfficeDocumentSettings> <o:AllowPNG  /> </o:OfficeDocumentSettings> </xml><![endif]This deeply intellectual thriller is the perfect slow burn that pays off in an explosive ending that I couldn’t turn away from.  It is the1812 Overtureof novels.  Steady, insistent pacing that ends in cymbal crashes and cannon fire.  Jacob is a fascinating and thought-provoking hero that is all too rare to find.  Wallace’s writing is brilliant and engrossing from the first page to the last.”[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves
