Reviews
" On Secret Service draws you back into the Civil War and the wrenching days preceding Abraham Lincoln's assassination. The factual details are simply astonishing: You walk the muddy streets, smell the acrid smoke of battlefields, and experience firsthand the inner workings of a vast conspiracy." - Patricia Cornwell "The author saves the best for last in dealing with Lincoln's assassination, bringing the drama to life by giving each of his protagonists a crucial role as the conspiracy unfolds with expert pacing and suspense. Jakes uncovers the little-known history of espionage and counterespionage during the War Between the States with his signature combination of meticulous research and epic narrative." - Publishers Weekly "Gripping, exciting, and historically accurate...a very good book." - Library Journal "An absorbing study of how human affairs stubbornly fall outside the simplistic categories of 'right' and 'wrong'..." - Kirkus Reviews "John Jakes has written another fine historical novel about his favorite period--The Civil War...Jakes is a wonderful storyteller, mixing fiction with fact and capturing the feel and flavor of that turbulent time." - The Sunday Oklahoman "Perhaps no author has made popularized American history more his own province than John Jakes...[He] does the invaluable service of any historical writer in transforming history's dusty pages into a living account. An excellent job of conveying the horror of that war now dimmed by the passage of the years." - Jacksonville Times-Union "[Jakes] gets the big story right, while writing in a clear style, keeping the narrative moving briskly from cliff-hanger to cliff-hanger, serving up portions of steamy sex in between, and offering us plenty of heroes and heroines to admire and several villains to hate. Even a deep-dyed Civil War buff...will find himself turning the pages to see what happens next." - Civil War Book Review, " On Secret Service draws you back into the Civil War and the wrenching days preceding Abraham Lincoln's assassination.

  • OSS--by John Jakes

    Like to read about the Civil War period, this is an excellent story as to what might have happened, with just the right amount of romance. I like being able to follow two individuals in a book and both sides be interesting.
