Just read this for the fourth time: there's a whole lot of depth in the story and I just wish I could write as well as this! Delighted to find it on Bookapy.

It’s been so long since I have seen one of your stories, I had misplaced my memory of you as an author. I went back to your page on SOL and it all came back. I have read everything you have posted there and enjoyed it so much, I felt it all deserved 10’s, save two. Thank you for the new story and especially thank you for allow me/us a more tangible/monetary way of saying thank you! Please continue to write. I especially enjoy the British Navy stories, even though I’m a U.S. Marine!! Stay safe and I hope you’re in good health - that way you can continue to write for much longer! Jim

I have always enjoyed and appreciated “Argon’s”writing. This is a great read. Plenty of twists, turns and surprises for everyone. Worthy addition to the portfolio

I read the first 2 chapters on SOL. I liked the story so I bought the book from BOOKAPY. I really enjoyed the Story!

Another outstanding piece of the Di Rosa universe

Reviewed it on February 13, 2024

As much as I love the author’s forays into historical fiction (and they are fantastic!), his books set in the Philadelphia and Clearwater universes are truly outstanding. I have fallen in love with each and every protagonist and reread them over and over. Please,sir, may I have some more?

It has felt like ages since I got to read a tale from Argon, and he is still a master story teller. Many thanks.

There's a lot of possibilities for a follow up. Good writing

Great read.. I couldn't put it down.

Reviewed it on February 11, 2024

I think it is WAY too short... You left loads of room to keep this story rolling for years to come.

Nice story, easy to read and good plot! Worth buying the book so you can read the whole story without waiting for the next chapter!

Well written, with a believable plot and compelling characters.

Reviewed it on February 11, 2024

A very pleasant read. I was (briefly) concerned that it might turn into a BTB rant but was pleased when it didn't. Also, it seems that Hiram Gunderson is not the only bait-and-switch artist around; the blurb on SOL makes it seem that Tom would be the protagonist, whereas Iris is the real star! Well done, sir! That probably gained you more readers than a more accurate introduction might have. All in all, well worth the price.
