"Author Martin Fournier, a historian whose specialty is Pierre-Esprit Radisson, has endeavoured to bring to modern young adult readers an essential component of Canadian history, and his description of a world over 300 years ago is to be commended... It should be a gripping tale." —Resource Links
"Fournier is recognized as a specialist on this historic figure whom he has brought to life in his three young adult novels . . . The author skilfully blends action with information about the Eastern woodland natives' way of life, including their political arrangements . . . Fournier presents both the Iroquois and the French points of view fairly. The characters are well drawn . . . Highly Recommended." —Ruth Latta, umanitoba.ca
