“Eons ago, I had a dear friend named Paul Almond. Our careers went in different paths and I lost touch with him. The Alford Saga reminds me of the beauty and the creative energy and the turmoil that existed in Canada during the time I spent in Canada with Paul. This is a book that should be read by everybody, not just hot-blooded Canadians.”
– William Shatner

“Paul Almond is on my list of great Canadians.”
– Senator Colin Kenny

“I love it when you start reading a book and you just can’t put it down... And this is just what happened to me. When I started reading The Deserter, the first book of the Alford Saga by Paul Almond, I fell under the spell: The writing, the story telling, the characters... everything is so captivating! And the best of it all? The emotions and the charm can be found in all the books of the series. Paul Almond is a words magician and I hope he’ll continue to write and entertain us for a long time.”
