Once again, David Poyer draws you in with great detail, great characters and a story that will keep you captive until the end. I've just finished the Hemlock County Series and am now starting the Dan Lenson series!

North central PA and their characters were a great read. A corporate creator being fought by early greenies, A combination for a moving story.

Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2010

Years after reading this novel, I vividly remember many scenes from it. A gifted amateur boxer fights a real pro for high stakes. Poyer simultaneously describes the surroundings, the fighters, the action, and the strategy at a breakneck pace, but with crystal clarity. None of the fights I've seen in the real world were as vivid to me as the one I read about in this book. This novel puts you in the time and place and surrounds you with realistic characters. The characters do NOT act, talk, and think like modern Americans - they are people of their period in history, and again, all the details feel right. You sympathize with the characters on both sides of the conflict (with one exception, a somewhat two-dimensional villain). Excellent.

A realistic, dramatic book

Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2000

I think an author has done his job when I want to enter the pages of his novel and talk to his characters. That's a testament to the complexity and realism of the personas you meet in this book, and to the vividness and high stakes of the struggles they face. Aside from that, no writer I know has a keener eye than Mr. Poyer for details that create verisimilitude. I was not alive in 1936, I have never been to Pennsylvania, never been to an oil field or oil refinery, and never participated in a hard-fought wildcat strike. But after reading this book I felt like I had been there.

Poyer deserves to be widely read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 27, 2010

Poyer is among the best war/action authors I have ever read, and I've read most of the best I think. His research, technical expertise, and insider knowledge are truly outstanding. His characters are well formed and interesting, not simply archetypal tough guys. The narrative is always compelling with superb storylines, many great little side stories, and rounded incedental minor characters. Deserves to be much more widely read in the UK. If you enjoy accurate, credible war stories, you will love his Dan Lenson, Tiller Galloway, and American Civil War series.
