This is an Astonishing book! The author's verbal description were so well crafted; that i felt that i was an actual character participating in each scene as it unfolded. In addition, the author displays a well-researched, intricate knowledge of turbulent times depicted.

Turbulent times when many civilized people were turning into monsters; while a few brave souls risked everythinmg to help. Great read!!!
