pickParts of this book were bleak and I was almost constantly listening with a slight feeling of dread about what might be about to happen, but I also enjoyed it. It actually ended on a more hopeful note than I expected through most of the story. I felt it described the setting of 1860s New Zealand and the gold rush very well.

Such a weird book! Evan Tanner hears about some gold hidden from the Nazis in Turkey. So he plans to go find it. He uses contacts from strange groups he's been a member of to manage his quest. Nothing, of course, goes as planned. Instead he's involved in revolutions and murders and secret plans. How will he manage to survive?
so-soI have enjoyed Trent Daltons books and this was good but not as enjoyable. I felt like his detail about every little description of rocks, dirt and forest was too descriptive! It was a good story and a had some beautiful and sad moments. Worth a read but not his best.
This is one of my favorite special editions that I own. I was pleasantly surprised by Miller's Song of Achilles & have been meaning to read this for awhile. I am subscribed to the Center For Fiction on YT & they recently released several videos of recent events. One that I have bookmarked to watch for later is a panel discussion on retellings w/ Miller, Maria Headley & Rachel Lyon.
