This trilogy seems very interesting. The character of Billy seems promising. Thank you for the free copy. Looking forward to reading the whole trilogy. Congrats on BOTD!

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting historical fiction and third installment in the Billy Battles series, which follows the title character Billy and his second wife, Katharina, as he goes undercover in the early Twentieth Century to investigation Mexican and German revolutionaries and spies. It seems like it might be worth a second look. Well done.

From the summary & reviews from buyers/ readers, I get the disticnt feeling that this trilogy should be made into a movie. Upon acquiring this 3rd, I will need to read the previous 2 parts/ books to give a full honest review

For lovers of American history, this one is an ideal read. This is even more important of for readers of the Finding Billy Battle books as it wraps up the trilogy.

Your review makes me excited to read this book! It sounds like the sort of book that's right up my alley. I'm sure it can be read as a standalone, but I might still read the previous books in the series to fully enjoy the third installment.

After reading your review I want to read all the three books of the trilogy. The review is written very well.

This seems like a lovely read. I would also very much like to read the first two books in the series just to get the full historical bearing. Great review.

Your review made me excited to read this book! I love to read historical fiction. However, I feel like I need to read the first two books in this trilogy. Thanks for such an interesting review!

What a review! Obviously you enjoyed every minute spent reviewing the book. I have not read any of the books in this series but I hunt them down to find out exactly why you hold Mr. Yates so highly.
Congratulations on making the BOTD too.

It seems that Billy led an extremely adventurous life. I don't usually read memoirs but this one is quite interesting. I hope everything worked out for him.

From the title the book sounded like a children's book but it turned out to be of my favourite genre. Nice review.

It sounds like a rip-roaring adventure. Thanks for the review. I might need to check out book one first.

Sounds like a gushing review of the book which is almost too perfect. I haven't read the first two books of the series so I will have to pass up on this one but the setting and story is compelling. Thank you for the review.
