“Matthew Hawkwood’s heartbreaking past meets his hair-raising present in McGee’s splendid fifth Regency thriller. Balancing moments of poignancy with swashbuckling action, historical interest, powerful suspense, and wry wit, McGee delivers all the delights of a classic adventure story.” (Publishers Weekly (starred review))
“The pace is fast and never beyond belief, making for a most exciting story. This entertaining adventure is not just for those who enjoy American historical fiction or war stories. Readers who like their spies with quick wits and fists may want to start here and then return to the start of the series.” (Library Journal)
“McGee blends in historical references to Sir John Johnson, Zebulon Pike, and the Lake Champlain
Economic growth depends, however, on more than just rules and norms that channel such inclinations in the "right" direction. In fact, I recommend it, as they grow up way too fast. I think there is also great value in it for those facing these problems too. Thank you Craig Hill for faithfully writing it, I pray others hear God's call to BeMore and ShareMore. John Ehrenfeld (JE) doesn't see "sustainability" as increased energy efficiency or "green technology." Instead he sees it as "flourishing[:] a metaphor that captures happiness, health, and the many characteristics of what humans believe is a good life. There's a real sense of Ivy becoming part of the community. We get into drawing into views, and we start with colors and rectangles. I ended up staying awake until 3am reading this book, I did not want to put it down. Good photographs might happen as a result of just knowing how to use
