Luzon is a well-written, well-researched historical fiction set in the Philippines at the beginning of WWII. The authors' storytelling prowess will keep you from putting this book down.
The description of the Battle for Corregidor, the Bataan Death March and McArthur's retreat from the country are so vivid, you may as well have been there.
Detailing Philippine legends that I never even knew, I highly recommend this phenomenal book to Pinoys and history buffs alike.
Truly a 'champion' novel.
