Fantastic!! I just completed his first book "Patriots of Treason"
and it was fantastic. I often hear people talk about how a book was
such a "page turner" and how they "couldn't put it down," but
rarely have I ever felt that way about a book. I even noticed those
were some of the comments on the backcover copy. I must say,
however, that I am in total agreement this time as I picked it up
Sunday afternoon and finished it Monday evening (I actually had to
put it down, but I didn't want to). The pace of the story was
incredible, but it did not lose any of the character development.
Also, while the story as a whole seems initially to be so far
fetched, as Roberts moves the reader through each move made, the
reactions are entirely believable thus making the entire story so
seemingly plausible. It was also extremely thought provoking about
picking sides and loyalty, making one realize how the founding
fathers must have felt or those in the South felt in the lead up to
the Civil War. I also love it when authors use opening quotes for
each chapter, but never have the quotes fit the chapters so well,
and that was for all 50 chapters. And, since I had originally saw
the second book first, and then realized it was a sequel, I ordered
both at the same time, so I am looking forward to the next book. --

As true to life as you'll get in a novel. Dave nails the character
of Texas in this novel. It, along with its sequel Patriots of
Treason, are so authentic you forget they are novels and can easily
think of them as real. As a traveler in Texas, I know the people
and places he references, and he is spot on. My only wish is that
he would write a third and fourth in this series. I have re-read
both several times and still enjoy them just as much as I did the
first time. -- RomingnomeTX -- Amazon.com
