David David said: "In its larger scope, this book reminds me of nothing so much as the movie Alien. There's the French army, girding itself to fight a normal, terrestrial enemy, and suddenly half a dozen panzer divisions burst out of its own chest. Very scary. "

"I have seen purer liquors, better seagars, finer tobacco, truer guns and pistols, larger dirks and bowie knives, and prettier courtezans here, than in any other place I have ever visited; and it is my unbiased opinion that California can and does furnish the best bad things that are obtainable in America."
