Richard H. Moon
Author of To Conquer Death

Masterful storytelling filled with honesty and grit.

Master of metaphor, Hopkins captivates and enthralls us with the sights, sounds, scents, and bodily sensations of his perilous odyssey. We are right there.
Margaret Mandell
Kirkus acclaimed author of And Always One More Time: A Memoir
