In book 2 of the Grog
Wars series our protagonist is bound for Mexico where the presiding
Austrian Monarch declares himself in need of a brew master. Sweazy-Kulju
can spin a yarn like nobody’s business and that’s never been more apparent than
with the hilarious antics of Max and Charlotte: “two of the most unfortunate
characters ever snubbed by history”. In
this second book, which reads well as a stand-alone, readers are instantly
drawn into the old west town of Portland, Oregon in 1861 for a necktie
sociable. “The media loved a good
hanging.” From one page to the next one
can’t help but become immersed in the sites, sounds and dialects of the region,
be it the Oregon of the old West, or down south in Mexico. Sweazy-Kulju adeptly skips from one character
to another with perfect aplomb. Readers
are sure to revel in this humorous tale which is a light-hearted and highly
entertaining read.
