Jacobson does an amazing job of creating characters that fit the story.  As odd as this sounds it is not the norm for an author to be able to develop a character that is stubborn, actively angry at the development of modern machines like trains, can quote Shakespeare, is a perfect shot, a gentleman, and lusts for thrilling experiences. Jacobson does this with such flair that the reader not only believes wholeheartedly in Lincoln but joins Lincoln in the unfolding exploits.   This is certainly an “I cannot wait to get back to reading” novel.

You too can join Lincoln as he moves from the prairies of Texas, to demonstrating horseback riding tricks and shooting techniques in a Wild West Show, and then traveling across the world to the country of Mur.  You too can join him as he meets treasure hunters, Princes, Kings, and Assassins with scimitars.  

The adventure is calling!
