<h3 class="productDescriptionSource" style="font-size:1.23em;margin:.75em 0px .375em -15px;clear:left;font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;line-height:normal;"> </h3> <div class="productDescriptionWrapper" style="margin:0px 0px 1em;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;"><i>&quot;I, Walter</i> is a grand tale of adventure that reminds me of the Patrick O'Brien's <i>Aubrey/Maturin </i>adventure series but with a noble innocence and, a most refreshing, charming slant. Romance, adventure, mystery, rescues, deception, and vivid descriptions make<i> I, Walter </i>a most enjoyable and inspirational read of chivalry. This CBR reviewer looks forward to reading more of the Crofter saga from Mike Hartner.&quot; Chanticleer Book Reviews<br /> &quot; This book truly is New York Best-seller material!&quot; Charity_Langley (goodreads.com)<br /><br /> &quot;This book would certainly be a big budget Hollywood movie, one day, if any producer has an imagination as rife as the writer of this book. Worth a read!&quot; Namta Gupta, Bookpleasures.com<br /><br /> From HB Pearse Wheatley, via netgalley.com, <br /> &quot;Excellent book. It evokes the era perfectly. It was a delight to read and I was sorry to finish it as it felt as if I was leaving a friend behind.&quot; <div class="emptyClear" style="clear:left;height:0px;font-size:0px;"> </div> </div>
