		Dickinson’s view of society and of the ends of government are derived from his understanding of human nature—an understanding which reflects his deeply held Christian beliefs.
		The lesson for America is clear: the greatest threat to liberty arises not from a strong central authority based on a principle of representative government, but from a government which is overly influenced by the whims of the multitude or which lacks sufficient authority to protect the interests of the nation as a whole.

		Dickinson's formal prose gives the book the sound and feel of an old-time classic, while numerous subplots lend a complexity and depth that will appeal to fans of fantasy epics.
		Although the book is a bit thicker than it needs to be, no one can fault John Dickinson's beautiful language: so often other fantasy writers destroy their work by adding in contemporary words that destroy the mood and setting of the book.
		John Dickinson is a captivating writer, writing tales of heroines; tales of love; tales of why one shouldn't mess with things they don't understand; and how to over come some of the horrors a persons life could bring.
