A Voice That Thunders
Author: Cully Mack Review by Eric Sparks Quick Q&A and Summary: “Star Rating” – I (Eric) don’t do that. It’s not fair to readers or writers. I could give both Homer’s The Odyssey and Adam’s The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy 5 stars – but that doesn’t mean they are equal, and it’s very possible to enjoy one and…
