Leave it to a guy like Lon Wagner to turn what could have been a plod through an historical retelling into a vibrant sophisticated page-turner. He brings you right into the homes and on the streets with these real life folks thrust into a terrible tragedy. It’s easy to relate to the terror, anxiety and drama that these people endured since it so closely parallels our recent bout with COVID. Where were authors like Lon when I struggled through history classes? Obviously, any history buff will love it, but it’s also for the reader who likes to see characters work out devastating puzzles. You’ll cheer for the heroes and heroines, boo the villains, and revel in the fact that it all really happened.
