Customer Review: If you are from the Pacific NW, you will love this book. Even if you are not, it is an excellent adventure along the coast of Vancouver.
Customer Review: Great detail and wonderful reading pleasure. Can't wait to read the other two sequels about life in the Western North American Continent. Though situated in Canada, no story could be any more American than the true tales of Mr. Hobson.
