Well written; Kurtz draws on magic or occult associations with Masonry to lead Geo Washington along his path. That was a bit hokey to me, but the research seems impeccable. It's basically an easy history. I learned things about the principals that I had not known before--such as Lafayette. He was young, scion of wealthy aristocrats. He came to assist the revolution despite the French king's restrictions.

The year is 1775. In Europe, an unseen Master peers into a darkened mirror for the image of the man whose destiny it is to wear the victor's crown. Across the sea ... George Washington ... has a dream that will haunt him for the rest of his life.

A real page-turner; I enjoyed Kurtz' plot twists and her language craft in this one.

Well written but almost too detailed in places, which bogged the story down. Very slow-paced, which I did not expect of a Katherine Kurtz book. By the third (fourth, fifth) multi-page Masonic ritual, all described the same way, I was wondering if those scenes were there to up the page count.

Interesting, obscure bits of American Revolutionary history too.
