Flight of the Earls is a most enlightening and entertaining novel. The Characters in this tale of immigration come to life as the reader is lead through the hardships and triumphs of coming to America. It was hard to put down as I waited to find out what was coming next. I don't read a lot if this type of novel, but I was completely enthralled by this one. Nice job Michael K!

Great New Series
Wow! I finished Flight of the Earls last week, and I can't stop thinking about the characters I met. Fortunately, it's the first book in a series. I so enjoyed the fast pace of this story, and I'm looking forward to reading the entire Heirs of Ireland series. It feels like one of those epic series--like Winds of War or North and South. You just want to keep reading.

Hope even in the grit
From the Irish potato famine to the seedy streets of New York, Michael K. Reynolds takes the reader on a moving adventure. The writing sings, the story thrills, the characters are unapologetically realistic, and the message of hope and trust shines even in the grit. A novel not to be missed!

History, Drama, Excitement, Tragedy and Family
Michael K. Reynolds in his new book, "Flight of the Earls" Book One in the Heirs of Ireland series published by B&H Publishing Group takes us into the life of Clare Hanley .
From the back cover: "She marveled at the grandeur of Manhattan rising before her...the tiny moving dots on the shoreline became people alive with the bursting commerce of an upstart nation."
It's 1846 in Ireland. When her family's small farm is struck by famine, Clare Hanley and her younger brother, Seamus, set out across the ocean to the Promised Land of America.
Five years prior, Clare's older sister Margaret and her Uncle Tomas emigrated in similar fashion and were not to be heard from again. But Clare must face her fears as she lands in the coming-of-age city of New York. There she discovers love, adventure, tragedy, and a terrible secret which threatens to destroy her family and all she believes.
Flight of the Earls is the first book in a historical novel trilogy based on Irish immigration in the 1840s
Michael K. Reynolds writes vividly! When he presents a scene to you he paints a picture that is rich in detail and color. Instead of standing in an art gallery studying it we have all the pages of this book to admire each and every brush stroke. "Flight of the Earls" is all about family. An Irish family. A family that faces tragedy in the form of The Potato Famine to having to come to America to seek a new life. "Flight of the Earls" is first class adventure as Clare is having to learn to live in a completely new environment. But she is not alone, with her is her family and they will adapt. This is the first book in a new series that is filled with great characters that we come to love and root for. I am so looking forward to the next book in this series which is due this coming July. I'll see you again then.
