Emerald Mile: Excellent read!

Published by BLUESMAN , 3 years ago

This is one of the best books I've read in a long time. I was sad to come to the end. Mr. Fedarko does an absolutely excellent job, mixing in history, personalities, drama and great imagery. I bought 6 copies and gave them to my friends. They say the same thing. Only disappointment is I can't find a similar book by Mr. Fedarko. He is a great writer. If you like adventure, drama, and history this is a sure bet. Enjoy!!
