Darlene E. Neiser (USA: TX) (2011/05/29): Really enjoyed this book. The first time I read this author but plan to order all of his Ethan Gage series. The story takes place in the early 1800's before the West is established. Lots of major players like Napoleon, Thomas Jefferson, Native Indians, French settlers, and the English. Lots of love interest's, the nemisis is an aristocrat, and lots of action Fun book.
