Reviews for Shadrach in the Furnace
“Filled with intrigue, paradoxes, mystery, subplots, and best of all, a surprise ending.”—Library Journal "A child of its times yet still relevant today and, above all, brilliantly entertaining and occasionally darkly poetic, this book is a winner all-around. Kudos to Bison Books for bringing this neglected classic back into print!"—Jim Lee, Tales of the Talisman
