‘290’ in review . . .
Volume II: The Laird Gunboat
"Volume II seamlessly picks up and improves on the story started in Volume I. The scope remains firmly on the human tribulations of war ... [but] shifts to the economic, political, and legal behind-the-scenes action. As with the first volume, the characters are engaging, the dialogue snappy, and the prose captivating. Simply put, this is incredible historical fiction." - Pacific Book Review
Volume I: Blockade Runner
“A superb historical novel that’s not just for Civil War buffs . . . Debut author Wonnell has produced a wonderfully compelling story about a seldom-seen aspect of the Civil War: its naval battles. His research is impeccable and his characters, distinct and well-drawn . . . This is historical fiction at its best—a first-rate tale that wonderfully captures an era and its people.” – Kirkus Reviews (Star)
