Book Review: The Keeper's Son

Thursday January 27, 2005
Since I spend most of my time online, I rarely have time to relax with a good book these days. It was a special treat for me to chisel out a block of time to dig into Homer Hickam's The Keeper's Son, an intriguing book based on a true, but little-known, story about World War II. Huntsville's own, Homer Hickam, has done a superb job of telling his story and keeping the reader engaged. This action-packed, romantic, mystery thriller is sure to please men and women alike. This is just the first of a planned triology. The next book, The Ambassador's Son, is due out Spring 2005. Homer will be at Barnes & Noble Bookstore in Jones Valley in Huntsville on March 15 for a book signing.
