The Conquerors (Winning of America Series)
Allan W. Eckert
Jesse Stuart Foundation, 2002
Great Book!
Allan Eckert has a way of writing historical books that will make even someone that is not a history buff love history. I try and try to read the historical reference books but I find them to be very uneventful and boring. Allan Eckert can turn that into a thrilling ...

The Conqueror
Brenda Joyce
Dell, 1996
Riveting
I couldn't put the dang book down. The hero and heroine left a lot to be desired with much of their behavior...no matter, I still couldn't stop reading and really liked the story. I always say Joyce's characters are so memorable, and these are no exception. If you ...

The Conqueror Worms
Brian Keene
Leisure Books, 2006
A differnt take on the end of us...
I have been a fan of Keene's work for a while and really liked his zombie books. As an avid fan of end of the world style fiction I was still a bit put off by the cover and promise of killer worms. Nevertheless, I was stuck in a small town during the holidays with ...
