Wilson, K. R.

Wilson’s (An Idea about My Dead Uncle) latest is great for readers of historical fiction, especially ancient military fiction, or those who prefer character driven stories. Good for fans of Bernard Cornwell, Ken Follett, and Robert Harris.

Libraries of all stripes should consider.

This book is carefully researched and gives every show of respect and affection for the tradition on which Wilson has spent his academic career; however, it is likely to leave Christian readers comfortable and Jewish readers disquieted.
