BOOK REVIEW: Winter Eternal: The River Flows Two Ways (Book I) by E. Thomas Joseph




In 1777, Captain Isaac Pearson joined the British Army when he believed the Colonial Rebellion would be dispatched with effortless haste. Taking a few American lives was an agreeable price for the pampered aristocrat who believed his actions in the conflict would afford him honor and glory. Yet, the path Captain Pearson rode was neither honorable or glorious and the price he would pay was beyond his imaginable fortunes.

Time is the enemy of all, the hunter of the hunters whom no measures of tenacity or weaponry can defeat. Yet, in the early days of America’s war for independence Phantom Regiments, ruthless shadow units, British Redcoats, American militia and crazed men of the occult race to acquire a mysterious Iroquoian artifact which offers the capacity to defeat time. Set in New York’s Hudson Valley, the contest for time will marshal tragic desperation and horrific ends. Winter Eternal, uncovered from layers of dust, deep within the archives of America’s Untold History is the tales of the soldiers and the citizens who sell their souls to pursue the mysterious Native talisman, the Kahontsi Ehnita; the Giver of Life…A revolutionary war has begun.

REVIEW

If our history books were only like this! E. Thomas Joseph takes American history on a wicked and disturbing journey in Winter Eternal. Historical fiction really isn't my genre, but the mixture of history and fantasy... Joseph writes it with enough prowess to grab your attention and pull you in his morbid historical tale.
Joseph’s writing flows nice and smooth. There is not a crack at creating his worded vision in your head. His cast of characters is divinely created, well rounded and written. For example, our main character Pearson is utterly the most pompous and pampered character created. You are unsure whether to root for him or wish him his demise. Overall historical fiction lovers will enjoy and indulge in this book. Especially if it could draw in a not so historical fiction lover. The author gets high praise!
