After hearing of William F. Buckley’s death, I decided to shift my reading list around and to tap his first Blackford Oakes novel. I enjoyed the historical aspects of it and felt the fictional narrative shoved in. I like Gore Vidal’s handling of the mix much better.
I love this cover. The layout is outstanding. Font, color and island illustration are just terrific. It’s rare to find this sort of grabbing cover anymore and this edition is just over 20 years old.
