Memories. Dust. Blood.

This was a fun read. I liked how it progressed through the decades. It didn’t seem like the book had a very definite point to it though:

I won a copy of this book in a Goodreads Giveaway and thought the premise was interesting. However, at this point, I'm about a third of the way through it and am not planning to finish it. The characters all use modern speech patterns and slang phrases, instead of matching with the various time periods, and for me, that's a deal breaker. People who like action will enjoy this book, but it wasn't for me.
