Review
John H. Manhold has finely honed the narrative skills demonstrated in his award-winning EL TIGRE to create an even more compelling novel of pre- & post-Civil War America. It is a wonderfully rich and vibrant life of a charismatic hero who faces adversity with brave adaptation instead of despair. Jameson's journeys bring the reader along from childhood pioneer days during Oregon's boom thru Cheyenne captivity, London at the start of the Industrial Revolution and into the beautifully complex mystique of New Orleans. Manhold peels back the layers of New Orleans society to reveal her hidden secrets and fascinating past. The depth and exquisite detail of historical and political background research, as well as the author's expert knowledge of the era's weaponry, meld perfectly into the story development. John H. Manhold further enhances LOBO by pairing the title character with a singular soulmate of equal strength and determination. Fans of EL TIGRE will be rewarded by a tantalizing surprise prospect at the end of LOBO...it will grab the imagination of men, women and young adults from beginning to end and leave you waiting for his next book! --Melvin Kligman
