Publisher's Summary:
Major Lewis Stiles is dying of cancer, but he wants all his affairs in order before he is "called home". To that end he wants to hire Moroni Traveler and his father Martin to track down one of the prisoners he was responsible for during World War II. Unseen since his mysterious disappearance from the POW camp at Cowdery Junction, Utah, Karl Falke is still owed $132.07 in back pay, and Stiles wants Falke to receive his due. Knowing the chances of success are slim to none, Moroni is reluctant, but ever a soft touch for lost causes he takes the case.
The search seems innocent enough, but as with any investigation in the promised land, the Travelers soon run up against the Latter-day Saints. Moroni's childhood friend Willis Tanner, now a high-level bureaucrat in the church, continues to poke his nose into Traveler business, this time with the added incentive of keeping the prophet's niece Lael Woolley out of trouble. While grappling with issues of family and responsibility, Moroni realizes that the answers to riddles from the past are to be found in the small towns and silent graveyards of Utah.
Members Reviews:
Hard to Follow, Dry, Rather Uninteresting
I would not recommend this book to anyone (except maybe to the neighbor's dog, to chew on). While the story idea seems good on paper and I was looking forward to learning a little bit about Mormonism, this book falls spectacularly flat.
The main problem is that this book refers too often to events that happened in other books in the series. The author does not explain events and characters that must have happened in previous books and the reader is left confused as to what is going on.
As for the Mormonism, it is not explained well at all in the book. I didn't really learn a thing, except Mormons can't drink caffiene. The religion did come up in the story, but nothing was explained. The reader is expected to know it all already.
Also, the book is dry and uninteresting. I had to force myself to finish it as it did not get better with time. The characters kept finding new leads to their mysteries, but it was not explained how they found these people. It seems as if major details were left out (for example, why they decided to dig where they did) and other parts were not explained at all. I can think of many other things you could better waste your time on.
