Dr. Donald Pienkos, UWMilwaukee</p><p>"More than a simple adventure or romance, <strong><em>The Warsaw Conspiracy</em></strong> is a heartstopping journey through post-Napoleon Poland as another generation of freedom-loving Poles resists the domination of a hostile neighbor. Martin's uncanny insight into the Polish national psyche and his vigorous prose make this a compelling page-turner as we learn the fate of our heroines Anna and Zofia and their family. Historical facts and details of daily life combine to keep you glued to the page."<br /> Leonard Kniffel, former <strong><em>American Libraries </em></strong>Editor-in-Chief</p><p>"Martin's masterful story-telling is at its best. We are instantly thrust into the action as impetuous young military cadets conspire to overthrow the Russian oppressor and regain Poland's freedom. While the ultimate outcome may be preordained, the story unfolds with all the intrigue of an espionage thriller and the gripping tension of a heartfelt love story. This one is not to be missed."<br /> Douglas W. Jacobson, author of <em>Night of Flames</em> and <em>The Katyn Order</em></p><p>"Martin's passionate saga of Poland and its long struggle for autonomy continues in<em> <strong>The Warsaw Conspiracy</strong></em>. Here he examines the dreams and heartbreak of a brave insurrection against the Russian czars and the rise of Josef Stelnicki, one of those thrilling military warriors, uniquely Polish, called hussars." <br /> Karleen Koen, New York Times bestselling author of <em>Through a Glass Darkly</em> and <em>Before Versailles</em></p><br>
