His characters are finely etched, and their individual stories are compelling.” —Booklist“Fast-paced and tautly written, Warriors is a gritty tale of transformations as three men from vastly different cultures must reconcile their wartime pasts in a wild new world of turbulent peace and commercial upheaval.” —Karl Zingheim, Historian, USS Midway Museum
“A fascinating, gritty, and realistic historical novel about Alaska commercial fishing in the exciting decade after WWII . . . A great read!” —Joe Upton, author of Alaska Blues
