Reviews

[Eddie Hodges]

Theodore Roosevelt is one of my heroes and I've always been curious about the myster of Jack the Ripper. In the short story Redchapel in this book Resnich writes a 'what if' story about what would have happened if a young Roosevelt, while visiting England, got pulled into trying to find and stop Saucey Jack. Really cool!

[Jeff Crosby]

This is a terrific sampling of Mike's work. I am especially fond of Hunting the Snark.
