I have to admit One of the most poorly written books I've ever read. Did every piece of dialogue have to have an adverb connected to it? And every character was nasty,dismissive or arrogant. Constantly calling people idiots or fools

I have to admit,one of the most poorly written books I've read. Did every piece of character dialogue have to be accompanied by adverbs? He said, sardonically? All the characters were nasty,arrogant and dismissive,constantly calling others idiots and fools! Absolutely ridiculous I

Unique alternate history

Well researched and documented story.

Desperately needs a good proofreader and editor!

Reads like English is the author's second language.
