Why read it?
1 author picked Heck's Journey as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I wasn't only captivated by this book. I had to consume the entire series. It was hard to wait for the last couple of books, but it was well worth it.
I'm a big fan of the author, John Deacon, and I enjoy his many other series too, but the Heck and Hope series is my favorite. It’s got a larger-than-life hero, the full experience of the western frontier, and wholesome family values. I loved this series so much, I sent copies to my favorite aunt so she could read them too.
From David's list on frontier and pioneer fiction for the ages.
