This is the 17th book in the 18 book Ben Kincaid Series. I enjoyed all of the books that I read [15] and am saddened that the last one was written in 2010. I had some difficulty in transitioning from the mainly legal to the more political domain, but I obviously grew to like the change [since I continued to read them!]. The political issues are so similar to what we are facing in current events [the Middle East; the Strait of Hormuz; tensions with Israel; etc] and they were written some 16+ years ago....amazing! I have finished the final installment, but cannot enter it until tomorrow...have to find something else to read now.

I recently discovered this author in Libby and have been enjoying his legal thrillers. He has several series and I most enjoy the Ben Kincaid books. This book was set in the Pacific Northwest and involved the logging industry and environmentalists. At times, there was too much detail, but I did learn a lot! I look forward to starting #9 in the series.

A story that looks into life in the pre- civil war south, during the war and post war. The south has been romanticized for sure in this story and it doesn't cover the harsh realities of slavery but it is a story that definitely opens your eyes to possibly the thinking of the south.

I have to admit I tried reading this book a couple months ago and put it down. I kept thinking about how it would play out- so I had to come back and finish it. It was a bit confusing and a little all over the place but I completed the book!

Good story about friend adventures

This is about kids who are invisible in their school and to the teachers and kids because they speak a different language. No one notices them until they do something really nice and work together.

Great read- good dialogue and characters. Accurate depiction of the struggles of seventh graders.
