Anyone who has read Andre Norton's fantasy and science fiction novels is in for a surprise. This story is in neither genre - it is a historical fiction novel that takes place in the southern USA.

An interesting read with a few surprising twists but fairly predictable. Definitely out of her usual line of writing.

An excellent read for an afternoon when you want pure escapism without having to think too hard. The entire series of four books covers the adventures of scientist Richard Seaton and his friends as they combat Earth and Space villains.
