It might sound like dry reading, but it's anything BUT. In this book, you follow the George Roger's Clark family and their explorations into the Western frontier. Thom's penchant for historical detail and captivating storytelling make for a really great rainy-day read.
I would recommend him as being up there in the top 5 of the historical fiction genre. I got hooked on historical fiction over fifteen years ago when I read 'Follow the River' by this same author.
Yes, that is a HUGE statement but have you ever finished reading something and been devastated that the story is over? Have you ever read something where you go on a research spree immediately afterwards to learn more about the characters, the time period, the events in history, etc? This is one such book.
Upgrading this review to say - Hands down, my favorite book.
