Very nice 5-star Black Tulip review on 16 May at Hookup Blogspot (http://boookup.blogspot.com/search?q=Dirk+Hessian) of the Civil War GM novella, Blue and Gray, by Dirk Hessian (a pen name of sr71plt for GM historicals).
Excerpt:
“. . . I am quite surprised that the author was able to tell so much in such a short book.
“There is a very interesting study of character here. You know exactly where the two protagonists come from, their backgrounds, what happened to them, what their nature is, what they think, and their reactions when faced with very specific situations. . . .
“I’m not generally a big fan of war scenes and I get easily bored, but Dirk Hessian's description of historical facts, combined with what happen to Able and Josh, is done with great skill and finesse, everything is very fluent and never overpowering. It was like a movie to my eyes.
“Life has its own way of always taking care of things. At the end everything that happened to them, good or bad, made them stronger, wiser, and able to make the right choice. That was all at once interesting, disturbing, exciting, and original. I give 5 stars.”
