Armstrong (2018)
(Custer of the West, book 1)
H W Crocker III
"The world has a new hero - actually an old hero reimagined - George Armstrong Custer, in this delightfully funny alternative history that's better, or at least happier, than the real thing."
thumb
Acts of Faith (2005)
Philip Caputo
"In Acts of Faith Philip Caputo has fashioned a gripping cast of characters and placed them in a spellbinding story. You can't get any better than that."
