A very good mix of real and fictional people and events, plus excellent plot points and excellent research, (and more) and this gels into a high quality read. A really strong historical and christian fiction effort.

This is a deeply human (and brother-focused) story, rich in detail, and with the feel of an adventure story. The characters are fully flushed out, and quite compelling in and of themselves. Add a very good mix of real and fictional people and events, plus excellent plot points and excellent research, (and more) and this gels into a high quality read. A really strong historical and christian fiction effort. Recommended. 4.5 stars rounded up.

I really appreciate the review copy!!
