King's Ransom

I just finished reading an advanced copy of Thom Lemmon's new book, King's Ransom. It is a historical novel set in early 1940's Bulgaria and follows the story of Tsar Boris, King of Bulgaria, the only German ally that did not give Jews over to the Third Reich thus saving an estimated 50,000 lives. This telling has it all: history, romance, intrigue, heroism, honor, darkness, tragedy, conviction and more. It is a great example of how even in the face of overwhelming odds and in the shadow of other personal failures one has the potential to rise to a calling that is greater than the madness of the world around them, choosing, instead, righteousness. I am excited for Thom and think that this could be the break-out novel takes him to the next level. Set for release in mid-September by Waterbrook Press, it is a page-turner that will not disappoint. Way to go Thom!
