This is quite possibly the most bizarre thing I've ever read. And that's saying something, really.
So we start with a man boarding a train.... in the 1800s... wearing Nikes and a leather jacket and Levis.
He has a conversation with future president Abe Lincoln.
Fourteen years later, he reappears in the president's life... asking for help.... at Gettysburg.
And it honestly gets weirder from there.
This was a slow start for me-- I don't know a ton about the little details of the Civil War like people and places. And the writing could have been tightened up a bit.
But I am fascinated. How completely strange and yet wholly captivating.
I will warn you-- it's a total cliffhanger. Now I have to figure out how to get my hands on the next book. Sheesh.
Anyway, I recommend it. It may blow your mind, lol.
Hi Britt,
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading it...and allowing it to "blow your mind"! Hahahahaha
I've always described what I write as fitting into a small niche of small niche genre, and that there are only a dozen or so others who do the same...with a readership about the same size.
The next one, I guess, will be a bit bizarre too.
