Golden Age

[This is book three of a trilogy. This review presumes the reading of book two.]

Book two ended with Frank discovering that his nephew Tim fathered a son before his death in Vietnam the family had no knowledge of. The family tree that indicates that Tim sired a child by Charlie's wife is surely a misprint.

The reader will contine to need to consult the family tree in an attempt to keep all the family members and their relatsionships straight. This continues to be meat for several books all rolled into one. This fictional story continues to incorporate historical events including the 9/11 terrorist event.

The book is rewarding reading but the text is densely packed and takes some time to plough through especially with back-tracking to consult the family tree. In that regard a paper copy would probably be easier to manage.

The final chapters are placed in the future.
