 Mind Expansion Dec 17, 2007
By Wendi Ezgur
"voracious reader"
If you enjoy reading to expand your mind rather than give it a break, buy this book.
The Lion's Way represents a new anatomy of thinking.
"What if Rome had never fallen?" is too cliche to coin as the plot of this book. It is not a religious book, nor is it wholly science fiction. It takes a great writer to actually think through all sides of this unchartered landscape while keeping us informed and in wonderment. Equally well written were the characters, which I identified with and liked very much. Through them, I learned about the past, present and even the future. Though their journey is a fantastic one, they are down-to-earth and real, which is what makes the fiction believable.
The pioneering thoughts and what-if possibilities jump off the page and into your mind, and do not take leave. You will be contemplating this book even when it is not in your hand.
The Lion's Way is a great read and breaks the convention of the traditional novel.

 Excellent concept, brilliantly executed Jan 20, 2008
By Tim Hurson
I have always been intrigued by the idea of re-historying. But it's a complex job. Several of the rehistories I've read fail because they lack internal consistency. Good efforts, but somehow unsatisfying. The Lion's Way is different. It works! I was completely transported by the story, the characters, and the lessons. The world Marsan and Lloyd have created is palpable. They shed light on what it is to be human and how fragile our elaborate social structures can be under their gritty surfaces.
Read this book. You'll be entertained, challenged, and perhaps enlightened.

I couldn't put it down Feb 21, 2008
By Dawn C
and that's not just because I spilled crazy glue on my hand while reading it. The Lion's Way tackles big issues in a thought-provoking, entertaining way. While this fast paced novel is set in both the past and future, its message resonates in the present. In today's dark political climate, the principles of Empathia would be a welcome ray of sunshine. I hope the authors are planning another work of art.

What if.... Jun 29, 2008
By K. Borghese
This is a great 'what if' fictional history that mixes action and good old fashioned boy meets girl with thought provoking ideas. An undercurrent for the tides of change can be felt as the story parallels our own current and past culture and events. I often found myself thinking that Marsan's fictional history was more believable than the history we are familiar with. I enjoyed the humanness and humor of the characters. Marsan's writing style is subtle and light. It easily invokes imagery-helping you to play out the story like a movie in your head. Yes, this book would make a great movie!

Couldn't Put It Down Jan 05, 2008
By William Cunningham
"Startup"
Lion's Way arrived just before Christmas and I took it with me on our hiking trip. Finished it in just three days (we had to hike!) Marsan and Lloyd create an intense journey of one man's search for truth and meaning. And although it is fiction, you travel right along with the characters questioning the way and the truth in your world! enjoy!
