Reviews

Praise for Aaron Gwyn:

"Aaron Gwyn claims his place among the ranks of great American novelists with this richly drawn historical epic. A masterpiece."--Philipp Meyer, author of The Son

"Mr. Gwyn depicts the eventful mission with tight dramatic control and a flair for suspenseful twists, and the same ambiguities that surround John Wayne's ruthlessly single-minded Ethan Edwards."--The Wall Street Journal

"In Gwyn's expert hands, nothing, including good or evil, is ever so simple."--Caroline Leavitt, The Boston Globe

"The book's pacing is cinematic, and it echoes adrenalized silver-screen war stories like "Three Kings" and "The Hurt Locker," as well as the gentler cross-species concerns of "The Horse Whisperer."--John Williams, The New York Times

"A work of narrative alchemy, a prose smelter brimming with horses, soldiers, heroism, villainy, horrific violence and unexpected tenderness. ... If you find tear stains on your shoulders when you turn the last page, they are likely yours, shed out of the sadness that only comes when you wish there were pages left to turn."--The Houston Chronicle

"Dog on the Cross is a gripping tale of men at war, and captures the essence of close combat--the terror, excitement, chaos, tension, and cruelty, as well as the harsh decisions men make under stress...its gritty realism is part of the strength." --Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
