A Sudden Dawn
"Superbly crafted. Surges with action, intrigue and touching human relationships. I can't remember the last novel that has taken hold of my mind like this one and has kept me up late turning pages. Although this is a book of historical fiction, it is so grand, so rich, and so memorable, that you want it to be true." (Loren W. Christensen)"Inspirational, beautifully written, expertly researched, and highly recommended. I loved it." (Geoff Thompson, British Academy of Film, TV Arts)"As good as James Clavell's Shogun, masterfully written, and hard to put down. I cannot recommend Powell's book highly enough. It's freaking brilliant." (Lawrence A. Kane, author of The Little Black Book of Violence)
