Whispers:

Question of morals versus ethics arise continuously throughout the novel. They speak to the conflict between their time and ours, and the repercussions of continents stolen from their rightful owners in ours. The novel ends by recreating that conflict with the arrival of the Norse in Central America, fleeing christianization in their own lands, and taking advantage of the collapses of the Toltec and Mayan Empires.

It also speaks to the contrast between Alliance and Empire, begging the question of which is more likely to endure. It also asks the reader to choose.

Beta readers report being captivated by the first paragraph and drawn in to the story as it progresses. One posted: "OMG! 35 pages in and I can't put it down, but I've got to go to work!"

Two beta readers have voted 5 stars.
