If This Was Your First Endeavor Then I Am Eagerly Anticipating Your Second. The Book Was Fantastic! It Was As Enjoyable To Me As “The Golden Warrior” “Musashi” And “With Fire And Sword” And Other Historical Fiction Novels That Grace My Bookshelves (Many Of Which Purchased Through Your Recommendation On Amazon). It Is Nice To Read A Book And Get Mad Frustrated Etc. At The Characters. Thanks Again For A Pleasurable Read! Pete Giorgianni
