The Forming of the Diamond written by the author Keith Adkins is the first installment in the “Jim Caldwell” book series. The story begins in the summer of 1881 in Phoenix, in the middle of the Arizona Territory. The main character of the story is Jim Caldwell. He wanted to make Arizona a better place and gained some followers for his idea. In 1870, Russians invaded the Western part of America.
People had to deal with heavy taxation from Russia and America. Jim’s cousin ‘The Dipper’ also joined him. Major General Sergey Popov, the Russian overlord for Prescott, was frustrated with The Dipper’s popularity. He got him arrested and then hanged him to death. Some of the other followers include: Pedro, Andrรฉs, Jimbo, Johnny, etc and were called ‘The Twelve’. Jim’s popularity increased and the trouble too. He traveled to various places. Will his followers support him or not?
This is an intriguing story that kept me on the edge of my seat. The story is well paced and the narration is smooth so I was able to understand the story easily. The characters are written well by the author and Jim’s character is immediately likable.
Fans of historical fiction shouldn’t miss to get their hands on this book. I am looking forward to reading more books in this series.
