Review:
John Jakes is the best historical novelist of our time. The factual details in ON SECRET SERVICE are simply astonishing: you walk the muddy streets, smell the acrid smoke of battlefields, and experience firsthand the inner workings of a vast conspiracy. Jake s' new novel is a fascinating account of how the Secret Service began and a powerful new perspective on a war the world can't forget (PATRICIA CORNWELL)
Another gripping Civil War epic packed with action and strong characters. (PETERBOROUGH EVENING TELEGRAPH)
The theme is maintaining honour in war, while pursuing relationships that cause conflicting loyalties. In exploring this theme, Jakes maps the inner soul of America. (HISTORICAL NEWS REVIEW)
