“A MUST READ. Nappa is a master storyteller. His extensive character development combines with remarkably natural dialogue to create a powerfully emotional page turner, which will keep you up late nights, and will have you contemplating the true meaning of heroism long after you turn the final page.”

“Inspiring!! A call to action in your own life. It has been a long time since I have picked up a book that touches my heart so deeply that I am inspired to make changes in my own life. From the very beginning, Jon Nappa captures your senses. So descriptive, I felt as if I were on the rocking ships and sharing an ale with the Storm Warriors at Cannon’s! I went from crying to cheering as I read this book without being able to set it down. In my opinion, the greatest accomplishment in the writing of this book is the question you are led to ask yourself. It is the same question Lionel Lukin asked, “Must it be that only by suffering personal tragedy will a man at last be moved to answer the cries around him?” (pg. 226) As I set it down, tears in my eyes, I realized that I must personally be a Storm Warrior and reach out to people who need me. We can all make a difference! With highest recommendation, I urge you to pick up this book and become absorbed in it!”
