"This is not just historical fiction, this is literature, in all its raw, sometimes visceral,
moving, touching, heart-wrenching, visual, emotional, lush, brutal, beautiful, cinematic,
and as-real-as-a-book-can-get pages."
DK Marley / The Historical Fiction Company
"...a stunning entry into the literary world... a moving historical fiction adventure that will keep you entranced and linger in your thoughts long after you turn the final page. It's easily one of the most intriguing novels I've read this year."
Sheri Hoyte / Reader Views
"EO-N is that rare mix of history, mystery, and thriller that keeps us turning the pages, but beyond that, it's a story of true human compassion in a time of crisis—the kind of story that gives you goosebumps and makes you want to go out and change the world. It's a novel to read, reread, and be inspired by."
