New Voice
I am absolutely thrilled by David Anthony Durham's book Acacia and the promise of more to come. I'm going to take a moment to detract from the detractors here and say that anyone not recognizing a new voice and real talent here is just jaded or has nothing better to do than draw parallels and compare to other works and cannot just enjoy a fresh new voice and cracking good read. Any who give ...

An Insight into Ancient Warfare
I have not read any of Mr. Durham's previous books, but thank God for new authors, or at least new authors to me. A new author and my favourite subject matter (ancient history), both in the factual format and also in this particular case, a good novel. I must have died and gone to heaven. This really is an excellent written by someone who obviously has a `feel' for the period in which the ...

THE DANGEROUS WEST
Yes, Kansas was and is a Great Plains state, and anyone who first arrives might say, "I can't believe I'm in Kansas." Kansas is an acquired taste, and Gabriel Lynch, a youngster frresh from the big eastern city of Baltimore, could not quite discover the tastefulness of farm life. Not many teens today could either. But they should read "Gabriel's Story" anyway. This coming of age drama by David ...

The best battlefield writing I've ever read
I was captivated in the first few pages by the writing: at times it feels like it flows like water. I found myself rereading some paragraphs just to savour the writing, but it never gets in the way of the story. The description of the battle of Cannae is chilling in the way it depicts the mindless obedience of the simple foot soldier as he moves as a cog in the machine of war, and then the ...

Truth by another name
The novel maybe fiction but the story is truth, masterfully told. Truth may hurt and truth may offend but Durham has dared to tell the truth. He has fingered the pulse of America and touched the heartbeat of those years of infamy that have left a scar on the nation until this day. Walk through darkness is a vivid portrayal of man's inhumanity toward his fellowman. It runs the gamut of the ...
