review 1: another historical blockbuster from the Italian collective that takes an alternative look at the American revolution. Every page teems with life and my favourite section was a vivid portrayal of early London capitalism and the first resistance to it. My only concern was the voices of the native Americans were a bit cliched. But then so were those of the evil London bankers, cockney gangs and vicious European settlers. But ignore that - This is anarchist action-adventure at its finest!
review 2: After the superb Q, I decided to give a try to this one despite that its subject is of much less interest to me; the book is well written, most likely is technically better than Q but I could not care that much about the characters and what was happening; history rolled ... moreover a group of people, not for the first nor last time and Joseph Brant is not that a compelling character to make the book stand out; still a good read and I am interested in the sequel(s) less
